Hints from Heloise - Homemade Shower-Door Cleaner

By Hklbrries

Dear Heloise: You had a recipe for a shower-door cleaner in one of your columns that I failed to cut out. I think it had vinegar, water, alcohol and I don’t know if there was anything else. My shower doors have soap scum and hard water built up on them.

Dear Reader: Here is my easy recipe for a shower-door cleaner. Mix a half cup of vinegar (white or apple cider), 1 pint of rubbing alcohol and 1 teaspoon of dish washing liquid, and finish with enough water to make a gallon. Put some into a clearly labeled spray bottle and use the rest for washing windows. Vinegar is a multipurpose, cheap product that can be used for many chores. Soak a stopped-up shower head in a small, plastic bag (if it can’t be removed) of full-strength vinegar overnight to remove hard-water buildup.
