I am going to apologize for the pictures of my dirty shower now but, I promise you WILL thank me. It measures up to it’s title of miracle, it is truly magic.
In this part of AZ our water is pretty hard. It isn’t uncommon for people to have water softeners. The outcome is hard water stains. It makes it very difficult to clean the grime that inevitably builds up. I hate to clean the shower because of this. Even the harsh chemicals weren’t able to cut it.
12 oz. Dawn
12 oz. Vinegar
Heat the Vinegar
Pour Vinegar into spray bottle
Add dawn
Shake the bottle to mix the two
Coat your shower with the mixture.
Wait I let mine sit the first time for about an hour. I had to use a little more elbow grease. The second round on the floor I let it sit over night. Wiped with a sponge, rinsed, and the stains were gone.
We are making the switch to homemade cleaning products. The miracle soap scum remover will definitely be in our cleaning supply now.
With the “miracle soap scum remover” do you have to heat it up again after the making it by heating up the vinegar the first time? If there is any left over- does it have to be reheated to use or is that just to make it? Thanks!
Reheating is not necessary. The initial heating is to allow the two ingredients to mix well together.
It works very well thanks for the cleaning hack
Does it specifically have to be Blue Dawn of could a generic blue dish soap work?
Keri, I have only used Dawn, but other readers have reported that their favorite brands have worked just as well. I’d go with whatever you wash your dishes with.
Hi. How long are you supposed to heat the vinegar? Thanks. Kay
I heated the vinegar just until warm, about 30-45 sec. The heat helps to incorporate the soap.
Can it be used on tile in showers?
Yes. It should work on any surface with the exception of natural stone.
This solution actually works. I didn’t have blue Dawn dishwashing liquid, so I used Gain, instead. I also used it on my bathroom tile, let it soak for 10 minutes, and with just a little elbow grease (my tiles had their share of soap sum?), they are clean!! I am about to have my tub resurfaced and know that you cannot use abrasive cleaners, so I’m hoping that I can continue to use this. F.Y.I, smells good, too.
