ECO Cream Cleanser! (can get at the supermarket)

No (or low?) chemicals, smells nice and the best thing I have used in the shower. Wouldn't use anything else now

I work in a bathroom store and can I please say DON'T USE JIF!! It's WAY too abraisive and can scratch acrylic bathroom surfaces like baths and shower walls etc. You are better off to use a cream type liquid. I personally stay away from any supermarket cleaners (especially Easy off Bam! Have heard horror stories about that stuff!!!) . But there are one or two that supermarkets sell that will have written on the back 'recommended by Englefield' or similar (englefield being a brand who make showers etc) so they are OK. I'd recommend that you get some specific bathroom cleaner from a Bathroom/Plumbing Merchant. There are some really good ones out there. I use Athena Bathroom cleaner which is AWESOME on all bathroom surfaces including mirrors, shower glass, taps etc. They have taken it off the market now cause they have a new product out but some stores might still have some in stock.
If you are having issues getting water marks off the glass, there is a product called C-Thru Waterspot remover, you can get it at bathroom or hard ware stores. There is not much else that can get watermarks out once they are etched into the glass.
Oops ......... starting to ramble a bit now! lol
Hope that helps! ]]> Sun, 07 Feb 2010 17:11:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31391&PID=928268&title=cleaning-the-shower-what-to-use#928268 <![CDATA[Cleaning the shower, what to use? : I use this stuff called shower...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31391&PID=927541&title=cleaning-the-shower-what-to-use#927541 Author: Shezamumof3

I use this stuff called shower witch, I think you can get it from Mitre 10...

Anyways, you just spray it all over and leave it for the day and then rise and wipe down and scrub where needed( u hardly have to scrub actually!) and the grime just melts away!!

We are on bore water so we get lots of yucky water marks on our shower and the shower witch gets most of it off, Its great!!]]> Sat, 06 Feb 2010 22:02:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31391&PID=927541&title=cleaning-the-shower-what-to-use#927541 <![CDATA[Cleaning the shower, what to use? : SHOWER POWER!!!

Yeah I'd second the Shower Power - works amazingly well, you don't even need to scrub.

bleach and water in a spray bottle. spray it everywhere, give it 10 mins and come back, washes away. cleans grout too lol. if you want to buy something though... Shower Power is really good. if you need to scrub, those "eraser" scruber pads are fantastic. (its i think a 3-layer sponge that is a scourer, a soft cloth and the rubber eraser bit) ]]> Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:54:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31391&PID=925112&title=cleaning-the-shower-what-to-use#925112 <![CDATA[Cleaning the shower, what to use? : I use a microfibre cloth and it...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31391&PID=925025&title=cleaning-the-shower-what-to-use#925025 Author: jaz

I use a microfibre cloth and it does a pretty good job but about once a month I use jif to give it a good scrub. I find using shower gel instead of soap eliminates the soap scrum build up. We just get grubby foot marks as the shower is over the bath. ]]> Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:58:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31391&PID=925025&title=cleaning-the-shower-what-to-use#925025 <![CDATA[Cleaning the shower, what to use? : I tried DH....it was ok...but...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31391&PID=924939&title=cleaning-the-shower-what-to-use#924939 Author: peanut butter

I have tried the baking soda and white vineagar and has never worked.

I have tried every shower cleaner on the market and still doesn't look like my shower in the ensuite is clean.

I have a bottle of Mr Muscle yellow hanging in the shower and every second day I spray the shower when I get out and let the shower run a little bit longer so it cleans it away. Then when I get around to it I jif it on the weekend.

My mum has been using white vinegar in a spray bottle, she used it the other weekend, sprayed the shower scum and a few minutes later wiped it, she said it just rolled off onto the sponge and her shower was sparkling.

I am gonna give it a try, cause if it works that well, it's so cheap!! ]]> Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:10:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31391&PID=924720&title=cleaning-the-shower-what-to-use#924720 <![CDATA[Cleaning the shower, what to use? : Shower Power!

I use enjo cleaning cloths in the bathroom. They are quite expensive to buy but you don't need to use any cleaning products.

I've been using them for over a year now and the cloths are still in fab condition and I haven't had to buy/use a single cleaning product. And my bathroom comes up sparkling clean.

I was extremely dubious when I first heard about them but I love them and would never go back to using chemicals.]]> Thu, 04 Feb 2010 20:49:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31391&PID=924687&title=cleaning-the-shower-what-to-use#924687 <![CDATA[Cleaning the shower, what to use? : Bleach in a spray bottle - super...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31391&PID=924662&title=cleaning-the-shower-what-to-use#924662 Author: Raspberryjam

I just use some stuff I thinks called shower kleen (or something funny like that)

I usually just use a bit of a spray, and use a decent sponge- I use the ones that are half blue half white, and the white falls apart when you've had it too long. I find it really good- but we have glass doors, and tiles.

I hate cleaning the shower! And I would really like to know what other people use to clean theirs as I am never that happy with the results I get.

I use JIF and I have tried a few of the sprays, but think they are all just copies of each other with a new colour added or some "miracle" scrubbing beads that actually do nothing...except almost asphyxiate me with their toxic fumes!

Has anyone tried that shower witch stuff?]]> Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:08:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31391&PID=924325&title=cleaning-the-shower-what-to-use#924325
