In this video I use a DIY bathroom cleaner to remove limescale, soap scum, and hard water stains from my glass shower door. I also teach you how to clean a shower and glass doors using vinegar and rubbing alcohol. This vinegar bathroom cleaner is incredible and super easy to make at home; let me know how well it works cleaning your bathroom in the comments below :)
My limescale remover recipe:
20% vinegar
5% rubbing alcohol
1 (small) squirt dish soap - don’t overdo it about 3 mls is plenty (1% or less)
Struggle no more with soap scum removal, removing hard water stains, and keeping your shower glass doors sparkling clean!
Full recipe (plus a whole lot more!) on my new website: cleaninghow.to/how-to-make-an...
This is also the cheapest cleaning vinegar I could find - amzn.to/44CenzW
I couldnt find many options on amazon for rubbing alcohol but this should be perfect - amzn.to/3VFoTCL

Cleaning vinegar is 6%, whereas regular cooking is 5%. It looks like only a 1% difference, but it's a 20% difference in strength. Which percentage are you using to clean limescale in your video?

Tip on using vinegar in spray bottles: If you do this, do not keep the vinegar in the spray bottle long term. The bottle itself will be fine but the spray nozzle with get slowly eaten away by the acid. You can buy spray bottles specifically designed to handle acids or just rinse the bottle and nozzle out after each use.

I find the best thing is to buy a spray bottle of a commercial product of something that's similar and then reuse the bottle. So for diluted bleach a commercial bleach spray bottle will last years whereas a generic water spray bottle will die within weeks. For this I'm using a shower cleaner spray bottle which was sold as being for limescale. That's bound to be acid resistant. Great cleaner mix by the way. I used it the other day and it is absolutely the best so thank you very much.

FYI for people wanting to keep shower doors clean…keep a squeegee in your shower, and always (ALWAYS) squeegee your glass at the end of your shower, and cleaning, when needed, will be minimal. This combo looks like a great way to clean between squeegeeing.

I used your formula on glass shower doors and the tile inside the shower and WOW, the results were amazing. I had been using a product specifically marketed for water mineral and soap scum build-up, but the vinegar/alcohol mixture was SO much more effective. (Confession: When you said to use IPA as an ingredient I nearly rushed off to the store to buy a beer...glad I listened more carefully! 😃)
@CleaningHowTo
@CleaningHowTo 2 года назад
I researched this topic pretty well before making my mixes; the off the shelf products usually lack the solvent to break down grease which the acid is really bad at; the two combined however is super effective. I’m quite proud of myself 😆

After spending years trying different cleaners, I went back to good old glass grade steel wool. Use it on any surfaces like glass, stainless steel, etc. for scratch-free clean surfaces with very little effort. Simply allow the surfaces to dry and then rub with the steel wool (glass grade 0000). Super easy and way more effective than cleaners. Will bring surfaces back to brand new.

@nathanclark2780
@nathanclark2780 7 месяцев назад
Gonna try this. Thanks! Also, just wanted to add a small technical correction, as a chemist. A solvent can be basic or acidic as well as polar and nonpolar. To be charitable, I believe what was meant by solvent was an organic, nonpolar compound, like the soap added to solution or something like WD-40, which is mistakenly used to lubricate when it is too volatile to be a good lubricant and in fact removes protective oil coatings, so don’t use as a lubricant. There are 3 different definitions and ways of classifying acids and bases in chemistry. Not all acids are protic acids concerned with hydrogen protons, such as nonpolar organic acids/bases. In chemistry, like dissolves like, which refers to whether a solvent (anything that dissolves another compound into solution, e.g. water, the universal solvent) and the solvate (the substance being dissolved into the solution) are polar or nonpolar. This is why soaps made from hydrocarbons can dissolve oil and grease, both are nonpolar hydrocarbons and like polarity dissolves like. Sometimes, like in your recipe, you can create solvent mixtures that are more versatile or more effective as there can be both polar and nonpolar regions on molecules. The dish soap is great for dissolving the nonpolar compounds of the soap scum, the IPA is amphiprotic, meaning that it is a polar molecule that can act as both a weak acid or a weak base. This works well with the acetic acid in the vinegar to dissolve the polar mineral build up in soap scum from hard water, and possibly to help emulsify the solution (maybe, have to refresh on the emulsification part). Excited to try this recipe! Thanks again!

Thank you!!!! I've been trying to keep our shower doors clean using just vinegar. Never happy with results. I was so interested in your method that I IMMEDIATELY threw the ingredients into a small bucket, grabbed the scrubber sponge and went to it. Amazing results!!! It works people! I opted to try a scrub sponge first as our Kohler doors have a film that is supposed to minimize build up (mmmm...no...) and I didnt want to run the risk of possibly micro-scratching it with a white eraser pad. Will use the eraser and a bigger bucket to do the tile and the rest of the shower tomorrow.

Worked nicely, my bathroom is now limescale free, more or less!! I recommend using a spray bottle spray the shower guard and then leave for no longer than 10 minutes before scrubbing, it makes it easier to get those marks off. A bit confused by the 500ml of water comment, as surely it would depend on how much you're making, so I just worked out how much I was making, calculated 20% and 5% (vinegar/alcohol) of this total and then filled the rest up with water. I would also recommend looking at the full recipe, as it is definitely a good idea to use some scented essential oil, to take the edge off the vinegar. @Cleaninghowto mentions the cost benefits of this solution but there are also health benefits, as companies don't test all the ingredients in their products over long periods of time, so that could potentially lead to health issues after years of usage.

Worked for me! I usually have magic erasers but didn't for some reason. Originally I tried a wet rag and that did NOTHING. So instead, I used a dish scrubber and kept scrubbing in gentle circular motions while keeping the solution wet and constantly reapplying over the limescale. The solution needs time to dissolve the limescale and pairing it with a lightly abrasive scrub-down worked for me. Keep it wet while scrubbing and with enough patience, the limescale melts off. Thanks, nothing has ever worked for me before up until now.

It's incredible how adding alcohol up the game so much. I have always used vinegar + dish liquid to clean shower glass but there's only so much it can do. I tried using your mixture today and the result was mind blowing. I wouldn't say it removed 100% of the stains I had, but it removed 90% of the water and grease stains I had, with minimal effort. I tried the mixture on my glossy shower tiles but it didn't work. Do you have a magical mixture to remove water and grease stain from shower tiles?

I've been searching and experimenting for years to get hard water stains off of every surface in my house that comes into contact with water. Some work pretty well indeed (like oven cleaner) but that's expensive over time and has a lot of chemicals. The best I've found is Apple Cider Vinegar. Seems to work better on lime and calcium than anything else. So, I'm going to try this to see if it takes off the last bits I've had to spend hours scrubbing. No easy way to let a glass shower door sit with vinegar of any kind on it without having to pay more money to cover it in cling film. So much waste. I never thought to add alcohol, though chemically, it makes total sense. I've pre-emptively subscribed because I understand the chemistry. If this works as you demonstrated, I'm only listening to you from now on. There's someone I follow that advertises themselves as being the best cleaner in the world. Yes, she has great techniques, but some products she uses aren't available to me locally. Also, she uses some expensive chemicals like oven cleaner. Yes, it works, but costs almost $5 US for a can of oven cleaner and all of our wet surfaces have to be cleaned of scale. That gets expensive when our shower doors take an entire can in one go, not to mention feet of cling wrap to keep it in place on a vertical surface.

Well if you clean shower screens weekly they will be clean all the time all you need is automotive glass cleaner and paper towel, I have a shower screen that’s 12 years old and it looks as good as the day I installed it… Or you can apply edura shield on it and the water beeds right off Great video , my comment was based on the wingers and winers of this video

Tried this on our shower screen now which has had 20 years of soap/calcium accumulation thanks to the previous owners. I can see some improvement but still has quite a coat of soap/calcium marking. I might need to give it another go and try using with fine steel wool instead of the magic eraser.

I’ve tried it all on my shower doors. This WORKS!! Some of what it melted off redistributed into a haze that was easily scoured off with Barkeepers Friend. But the point is, this melts it off!! I used two parts vinegar to one part alcohol with no water. I didn’t even use a magic eraser.

I like that pumping bottle you have, what is the actual product name. I am now a subscriber. I just bought a house and have glass shower doors that I want to keep clean. I'm using a squeegee to remove the daily water drops, but you always miss some, so this will be good to get them all nice and shiny.

I would have liked to have seen the glass dry after. Once soap scum is removed most glass looks good when wet. Its usually those fine calcium spots that stick out when glass is dry. I will try your mixture for removing the soap scum though. Thanks
@tappin2itnz
@tappin2itnz 4 месяца назад
Yes exactly what I was thinking. I restore glass for work and you are correct - once you remove soap scum it will look clean while wet, but the hard water reappears when dry.

I bought two 5lt bottles of white vinegar from amazon dirt cheap. I use it for everything. On the shower screen, I filled an old daily shower screen bottle to spray it, use vinegar to fill the kettle and descale it AND put the vinegar back in the bottle so there's no wastage. When the house is empty I remove the water from the toilet with a sponge then fill the bowl with vinegar and leave it as long as possible. Result is a shiny limescale free bog! The shower head goes into a bowl of vinegar for an hour and comes out sparkling and with the jets running straight. The vinegar then goes back into the bottle for reuse. I use it to clean and descale the iron too. I did wonder if the house would smell like a chip shop but no it doesn't. It's far better than chemical cleaners and much cheaper.

OK just tried this one out. The combination of IPA + Vinegar + Magic Eraser is a very effective combo. I had a shower stall that I had been hitting with just vinegar with little effect. But this combo did a number on the scale. If you're in an enclosed environment you probably want to wear a respirator because the smell is really, really strong.
