Things you'll need:

  • Take an empty sponge and dust the wet glass pane with baking soda.

  • Take an empty spray bottle, fill it with white vinegar and spray it over the glass door covered with baking soda.

  • Leave it for 10 minutes to create a strong reaction. (It would help in smooth scrubbing)

  • Take a sponge and scrub the entire glass pane for 3 to 4 minutes.

  • Once done, rinse it off with water.

  • Do gentle scrubbing to dry the glass by using a fiber cloth.

2. Clean with lemon (daily used DIY glass cleaner)

  • Take an empty spray bottle, half fill it with lemon juice, and rest with water.

  • Extract lemon juice to fill half of the bottle. Mix it well, and spray it on the shower door.

  • Let it sit for 7-8 minutes.

  • Take a fiber cloth or towel and scrub it off until the glass sparkles again.

Note: You can use it daily to keep the shower door glossy and shiny at all times!
