Keeping a glass shower screen spotless can often feel like a daunting task. Water spots, soap scum, and residue from shampoos and shower gels quickly leave the glass dull and cloudy. While cleaning immediately after each shower is the best way to prevent buildup, few want to spend extra time scrubbing right after showering.
Enter Leanne, a cleaning enthusiast from Instagram, who has perfected an easy-to-make spray using just three common household ingredients. This natural solution effectively breaks down soap scum and dissolves oils, restoring your shower glass to a sparkling, crystal-clear shine with minimal effort.
Leanne’s mixture combines vinegar, dish soap, and water in a spray bottle. The vinegar’s mild acidity helps dissolve mineral deposits and soap scum, while dish soap cuts through oily residues that dull the glass. For a pleasant scent, she recommends adding a few drops of essential oil, though this is optional.

To use, spray the solution generously over the shower screen, then wipe down with a microfiber cloth. Rinse the glass with a quick shower spray to remove any leftover cleaner, and finish by using a window vacuum to eliminate moisture—this step helps prevent mold and keeps the glass gleaming for longer.
Leanne notes that she applies this spray daily after showering, which means she rarely needs to perform a deep clean. She does advise caution when using the spray near chrome fixtures, as the vinegar can damage their finish if used repeatedly.
The response to Leanne’s cleaning hack has been overwhelmingly positive, with many online eager to try the spray themselves. One enthusiastic commenter said, “I swear by this too. It works so well,” highlighting the effectiveness of this simple, affordable cleaning solution.
