OK, I've got soap scum built up on my bathroom shower door and in the
future will:
1) Squeegee
2) Try Rain-X for prevention
3) Try gel instead of bar soap
However, the question NOW remains: How do I clean the glass? Ugh!
I've tried a vinegar and water solution, and Bon Ami cleanser. It's
better, but still not clear. I've read that an ammonia solution would
work, but I'm pretty chemically sensitive and hate to use something so
strong and toxic. However, if it's the only way, I'll ventilate and wear
a mask.
Any helpful insight would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to tackle the
job this weekend!
Thanks,
Michelle

Try this...get a towel that you don't care about. Secure it over the
door, so that most of it is hanging on the part you want cleaned. Soak
it with vinegar and water solution (straight vin would be better, if you
can handle that) overnight. Then rinse and squeegee. Then replace
doors with curtain that can be thrown in the wash :-).
Just an idea, I've no clue if it will work. But it makes sense since it
would be how I get lime off the showerhead.

use "Bar Keepers Friend" it's in a container like comet. usually found
on the top shelf at the store . works awsome
it has muratic acid in it so be careful not to leave it on too long or
it will etch the surface.

it is oxalic acid, not muratic.
