Are hard water stains clouding the clarity of your shower glass doors? Worry not! We’ve gathered five eco-friendly tips to help you restore that sparkling shine to your bathroom sanctuary. Plus, we’ll throw in some tips to make these solutions smell delightful while remaining effective at the task. Let’s dive in!
1. White Vinegar Solution: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution onto the glass door, allowing it to sit for a few minutes. Then, scrub with a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. To enhance the aroma, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the mixture. Lemon or lavender oil can provide a refreshing scent while boosting cleaning power.
2. Baking Soda Paste: Create a paste by mixing baking soda with a small amount of water. Apply the paste to the affected areas of the glass door and gently scrub with a sponge or brush. For an invigorating aroma, add a drop or two of citrus essential oil to the paste. The combination of baking soda and citrus will help eliminate odors while tackling tough stains.
3. Lemon Juice: Cut a lemon in half and use it to scrub the hard water stains on the glass door. The natural acidity of lemon juice helps break down mineral deposits while leaving behind a fresh citrus scent. For an extra burst of fragrance, sprinkle some sea salt onto the lemon halves before scrubbing.
4. Rubbing Alcohol: Dampen a cloth or sponge with rubbing alcohol and wipe down the shower glass. Rubbing alcohol effectively dissolves mineral deposits and evaporates quickly, leaving behind a streak-free shine. To infuse a pleasant scent, add a drop of peppermint or eucalyptus essential oil to the cloth before wiping.
5. DIY Citrus Vinegar Cleaner: Combine citrus peels (such as lemon, lime, or orange) with white vinegar in a jar and let it sit for a few weeks. Strain the mixture and transfer it to a spray bottle. Use this homemade citrus vinegar cleaner to remove hard water stains from your shower glass doors. The citrus oils add extra cleaning power while leaving behind a pleasant scent.
Remember, always test any cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area of the glass door first to ensure compatibility and avoid permanent damage. With these eco-friendly tips and aromatic enhancements, you’ll have your shower glass doors looking crystal clear and smelling divine in no time!
