They are so hard to clean. I had one in the flat I was in.
Now I have bought an older house with a stainless steel bottom and formica walls.
It hardly ever needs cleaning.
My g/f wants me to buy a nice new glass shower. They look nice. But is it worth the hassle ?

Cut and polish car polish and electric sander with a soft pad fitted. Do it once. Takes some effort. After: always always always dry your glass after each shower,no shortcuts! !

if you clean them regularly and properly from the beginning, then they are fine. the problem arises when they aren't cleaned for ages and the minerals build up.

My sister uses a spray bottle with 1/2 water and 1/2 white vinegar, she gets a good result

I stayed at a friends place for a couple of nights and noticed that they left a squeegee in the fancy curved glass shower. It was no effort at all to run that over the surfaces before stepping out. I also noticed that they didnt use soap, only bodywash. Nowhere as much residue.

Soap scum is trivial compared with mineral deposits.

Make sure you only use liquid soap on the shower for washing yourself, and dry the glass door after each use.

It does seem to be a lot of effort just to have a shower.
Use this sort of soap only, dry the shower each time.
When I have a shower, I want to get out and get to bed as soon as.

It takes 30 seconds to run a squeegee over the glass and walls to remove the water, I have one hanging in the shower for this reason

You know I hate my 1980's bathroom - I hate the lack of heat and the lack of a heated towel rail and a power point. But the old stainless steel shower is wonderful - I've cleaned it about once in the 6 months we've been here! Although we are redoing the bathroom I'm seriously considering retaining the shower curtain rather than going back to glass.
And yeah life is too short to clean and dry a shower every time you use it!

Wet & Forget are advertising something called ' tigers paw"? But I think it takes a bit of scrubbing.It's not cheap though - they're on special for $89.95. Go to the website if you want to learn more. I've read the thread about the Karcher window cleaner & people seem really happy with the product. People use them to get rid of condensation on their windows. I wonder how they'd work on a shower door? You certainly wouldn't want to be doing it every time after a shower though!

Use Engine Degreaser for about $3 for a spray can.

Love my glass shower door! Recently had someone looking after my house and there was a long mark left on shower door. Bought that 30 second spot remover from Mitre 10 and it came off with little effort. I left on about five minutes before washing off.

Yes I see 30 Seconds advertising a shower door cleaner on tv this evening.

if possible you should seal shower glass doors etc with vitroglaze or a similar product

Shower curtains are great, easy to keep clean and as others have said, better privacy.
I do like to write and draw pictures in the steam on the glass doors though.
Steelo pad although effective, has 1 major draw-back, it's far too abrasive & now your glass will have deep scour-marks/lines, in-which dirt & grime can build up in the scour-marks/lines. If you continue to use steelo pads?, you may experience cleaning the glass more & more difficult as the scour-marks/lines get deeper & deeper.

It was a very light scrub, i wouldn't be doing it again any time soon, just wanted to get the build up off! As products were not working. It was already difficult lol
