A cleaning enthusiast has shared a simple yet effective method to achieve a streak-free shower screen using two common kitchen staples: Fairy Liquid and vinegar. The hack, demonstrated on TikTok by user @mylittlehome.x, promises to make shower glass look brand new without the need for expensive commercial cleaners.
The Method: Fairy Liquid and Vinegar
The key to this cleaning hack is a Dishmatic, a refillable washing-up tool with a hollow handle that dispenses detergent through an interchangeable sponge or scourer head. The user recommends filling the Dishmatic with a mixture of half Fairy Liquid and half vinegar. After wetting the tool under the tap, scrub the shower screen thoroughly, focusing on areas with water marks. For best results, the cleaning should be done daily or every other day to prevent buildup.
Step-by-Step Process
Once the screen is scrubbed, use a squeegee with straight downward motions to remove the cleaning solution and achieve a gleaming finish. The enthusiast also applied a shower shine product for extra sparkle, advising to spray it on the shower side without rubbing it in, and to wipe the opposite side with a microfibre cloth. She suggests cleaning right after a shower to save time, as the steam helps loosen dirt.
User Reactions and Tips
In the comments, users praised the hack. One wrote, "Yes! Omg I spent so much money and storage on multiple different cleaning products only to realise Fairy is the best for the kitchen and bathroom." Another advised, "And make sure to get the non-scratch Dishmatic sponge heads!" A third joked, "My mum did teach me but I just can't retain the information."
This method offers a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional glass cleaners, with the potential to save money and reduce chemical use in the home.
