A professional cleaner has shared a simple shower cleaning method using natural ingredients, with no harsh chemicals needed. The technique, demonstrated on TikTok by user @jetlagremedy, promises to make glass sparkle and appear brand new, potentially outperforming conventional glass cleaners.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Method
The cleaner explained: "How I clean glass as a professional cleaner. I'm gonna show you how I personally clean a shower screen as a professional cleaner. First up, I've got some spray which is [dish] detergent and water." She then sprayed the entirety of the screen, covering both inside and outside.
Following the spray, she advised buffing the screen with a "cloth or a soft sponge," noting that circular motions work best. For rinsing, she recommended using a bucket or bottle of water if the fixed shower head cannot reach the screen, demonstrating by pouring water along the top edge to let it cascade down.
Finishing Touches for a Flawless Shine
After rinsing, she used a squeegee to remove as much water as possible. For additional brilliance, she suggested drying with a microfibre towel and optionally using Windex or a homemade glass cleaner with a glass cloth. The result, she promised, is "no soap scum, no smudge marks," simply "an extremely clean glass panel." She also advised: "You can also shine up those metal parts with some steel cleaner."
Benefits of Chemical-Free Cleaning
Chemical-free cleaning products have grown in popularity due to their safer properties for personal health and the environment. Conventional cleaners often contain aggressive chemicals that can trigger skin irritation, breathing difficulties, and other health complaints, especially for those with allergies or sensitivities. Natural alternatives like vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, or plant-based extracts are less likely to provoke unwanted reactions, are biodegradable, and reduce the risk of harmful residues on surfaces, making them ideal for homes with young children or pets.
