As I’ve said before, I moved this summer. I’ve always lived in homes with a shower in the tub and a shower curtain. This time, I moved to a home with a stall-type shower with glass on 2 sides. I had the opinion that I was trading up.
Wrong!
At first I quite liked my new shower. Even though I occasionally
At. All.
Help! I pleaded to Bette in Blackhawk’s Bath Shop.
She pointed me to a whole rack of different shower squeegees and said that, at the very least, I needed to squeegee clean the glass after each use.
Each use? Really?
I picked out a squeegee with a little suction cup, and she pointed me to Scrubbing Bubbles™ cleaner and microfiber cloths for daily maintenance.
If this doesn’t work, she told me, we have more serious cleaners!
I was certain I’d be ok with daily cleaning and not need to “get serious”.
Wrong!
Now, a couple of months into living in the new house with Scrubbing Bubbles™ and squeegee maintenance after showerings, the white streaky glass was getting cloudier and streakier. It required more action…as in “more serious cleaners!”
Argh!
Back I went to the Housewares Department where Mary helped me this time. She took me back to the cleaning aisle and handed me a jar of AMAZ™ Clean and Green Water Stain Remover. She included an AMAZ™ Scrub Pad.
Home I went with my new supplies and set to work on my milk glass shower walls. Seriously.
Here are some “before” pictures
Here’s the process. I wet down my shower walls and doors. I opened the AMAZ and set to work with the scrubbie. I don’t know what I expected the AMAZ to look like, but it is a thick wet substance, much thicker than other wet abrasive cleaners.
After applying the AMAZ and scrub-scrub-scrubbing my little heart away, it was time to rinse it off. Let me just say that I became sufficiently drenched doing this, which I’ll remember the next time!
I held my breath as I reached for my hand held shower – which I don’t like the looks of, but that I do appreciate because it sure made rinsing off the doors and walls easier.
I could tell it was better, but first needed to squeegee and wipe the walls and glass with a micro fiber cloth. This time I used one intended for glass cleaning made by Zwipes™
The shower was now cleaned and I was starting to see the sparkle. The true test would come when I placed a brown towel behind the glass as I had before.
Let’s just say I am pleased as punch with the results. They are, well…..
AMAZing!!!
Now I’m back to daily squeegee and Scrubbing Bubbles treatments. When [if] the white film starts back, I’ll nip it in the bud with an AMAZ treatment.
