Here at Broomhuggers we have a love-hate relationship with glass shower doors. They keep all the steamy-dreamy shower air in when needs to stay (for the optimum shower experience) and they look better than a vinyl curtain, but man! they can be hard to clean! In fact, we’ve posted countless times on how to clean them. Like this post about hard water deposits, this one about the wonders of squeegees, and this one about soap scum. The long and short of it is that in most of our homes (especially anyone with hard water), shower doors are pesky, troublesome things to clean.
But just this week I tried something new. Have you heard of Shaklee? They started out as one of the first natural cleaning product producers, and they’ve since expanded into personal care products and nutritional supplements. They’ve even been featured on Oprah - more than once - and their corporate responsibility sets a high standard for other businesses to emulate.
Well, they have this great product called Scour Off. It’s a pink paste that smells amazing (and without harsh chemicals or fake scents - it’s all natural). It does lots of things well - from the oven to sinks, tubs, tiles… But it does wonders for my shower door. A little bit on the scouring side of the sponge, and scum be gone!
I’ve been a fan of salt and lemon juice for the shower door for a while, and those still do a great job. But Shaklee’s Scour Off does it with less elbow grease, and in less time. And for this preggo mama chasing a toddler and a preschooler, that makes a big difference. It’s settled - I’m in love. A relatively small container is $8.35, but the cleaning power it packs is amazing. And it’ll last you ages since it’s so concentrated. Anyone else have great shower door stories? Or Shaklee stories? I love this stuff. Really. I do.

i truly do love shaklee household products; i love their laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, and cleaners. i may still try some of the natural products i can get at a store, but it will be awhile, since it takes so long to use shaklee’s stuff! thanks for the shower tip-i might have never known that otherwise!

I’ve been looking for something good to get my shower doors clean, thanks so much for posting this, I’ll give it a try! Mine are so stubbornly grimy that I usually hold my nose and spray on the Scrubbing Bubbles. It will be great to try something that’s so much less caustic.
