Cleaning a shower can be a straightforward task if you follow a few steps. Here’s a basic guide on how to clean a shower:

Materials you’ll need:

1. Cleaning solution: You can use a store-bought bathroom cleaner or make your own by mixing equal parts of water and white vinegar or use a mixture of water and dish soap.
2. Baking soda (optional): For tackling tough soap scum or grime.
3. Rubber gloves: To protect your hands.
4. Spray bottle: To apply the cleaning solution.
5. Sponge or scrubbing brush: For scrubbing the surfaces.
6. Microfiber cloth or paper towels: For drying and shining.
7. Toothbrush or grout brush: For cleaning grout and tight corners.

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Remove items: Clear your shower of any bottles, soap, or other items.
2. Rinse: Use a handheld showerhead or a bucket of water to rinse the shower walls and floor.
3. Apply the cleaning solution: Spray your cleaning solution all over the shower walls, floor, and any other surfaces you want to clean.
4. Scrub: Use a sponge or scrubbing brush to scrub the surfaces thoroughly. For stubborn stains or soap scum, sprinkle baking soda on the area and scrub with the cleaning solution. For grout lines, use a toothbrush or grout brush.
5. Let it sit: Allow the cleaning solution to sit for a few minutes to help break down grime and stains.
6. Rinse: Rinse the surfaces again with water, thoroughly removing the cleaning solution.
7. Dry: Use a microfiber cloth or paper towels to dry and shine the shower surfaces. This helps prevent water spots and streaks.
8. Replace items: Put back all your shower items.
9. Maintain regularly: To keep your shower clean, it’s essential to regularly clean it and squeegee the glass or tile after each use to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup.

Remember to ventilate the bathroom while cleaning to avoid inhaling fumes from cleaning products. If you’re using store-bought cleaners, make sure to follow the instructions on the label. This cleaning process should help you maintain a clean and hygienic shower.
