Homemade Bathroom Cleaner for Showers
Here's a simple and effective homemade bathroom cleaner recipe that you can use for cleaning your shower:
Homemade Bathroom Cleaner for Showers
Ingredients:
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup dish soap (preferably a brand that cuts grease)
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 10-15 drops of essential oil (optional, for fragrance)
Instructions:
1. Warm the Vinegar:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the white vinegar for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. This helps the vinegar mix better with the other ingredients.
2. Mix the Ingredients:
- In a spray bottle, combine the warm vinegar and dish soap. Slowly add the baking soda, as it will fizz when it first comes into contact with the vinegar.
- If you'd like to add a pleasant scent to your cleaner, you can include 10-15 drops of your favorite essential oil (like lemon, lavender, or tea tree).
3. Shake to Combine:
- After adding all the ingredients, shake the bottle gently to mix everything together.
4. Application:
- Spray the mixture generously onto the shower walls, floor, and fixtures. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow it to break down soap scum, grime, and hard water stains.
- Scrub the area with a sponge or scrub brush, then rinse thoroughly with water.
5. Routine Use:
- For regular maintenance, you can keep the spray bottle in the shower and give the surfaces a quick spritz after each use. This will help keep the shower cleaner for longer.
This homemade cleaner is effective and safe for most shower surfaces, including tile, fiberglass, and glass.
