How do I clean my shower with Dawn?

Spray your shower with homemade cleaning product. Allow to sit for a few minutes and then clean.

Your shower and bathtub will look so clean and shiny after using this DIY shower cleaner.

It removes soap scum, water stains and more. It works better than store bought all purpose cleaners.

Can I put this in a spray bottle?

Yes, you certainly can. While, we normally pour ours in a scrub brush, it is also handy in a spray bottle.

Simply pour into the spray bottle and began to use. It is very convenient to spray surfaces or hard to reach places.

Feel free to use a spray bottle if you prefer.

Tip for using homemade shower cleaner:

  • Scrub brush. Now, my number one tip to keeping my shower clean is to use a dish soap dispenser and sponge. I put a little bit of Dawn and then fill the rest up with Vinegar. I keep this in the shower.

Then when I am showering I am able to do a quick scrub down. The steam form the shower helps break down the dirt and grime so it makes the scrub even easier.

I do this probably once every two weeks and it works great to keep my shower clean. I normally have to refill my dispenser about once every other month so a little goes a long way.

Plus, if you have kids, the kids think this is so much fun. They love scrubbing the shower down with this while they are taking a shower. They get to have fun and I get a clean shower. That is a win for everyone.

This homemade shower glass cleaner works great.

I doubt you buy anymore store bought cleaners again. This is so much better and you will save money too.

Both vinegar and dish soap are very inexpensive. It still is fascinating to me that such low cost items can produce such big results.

It is also the best bathtub cleaner.

Don’t forget about the bathtub. This easy bathtub cleaner works great not only for the shower, but also for the hard to clean tub.

It works great at getting rid of any dirt and grime that is left behind. Plus with the fun soap dispenser the kids love cleaning the tub too!

Is it safe to mix vinegar and Dawn dish soap?

It works great without the extreme fumes that I used to have to deal with when I was cleaning my shower. Plus, this is incredibly frugal.

This also is great for toilet cleaners and using with a toilet brush. It really is an all around great cleaner.

What is the best homemade cleaner for shower doors?

Vinegar and dish soap work together to make an ideal cleaner for shower doors. Not only is this method perfect for scrubbing the shower walls and bathtub but it is great for shower doors.

You will love having one cleaner do so many different things. There is no need for multiple cleaners when this one cleaner so effectively cleans numerous items.

  5. Lucy says:

    Ummm WHAT?? I really wish I had a before-and-after photo because my shower looks NEW after using this mixture!! WOW!! I left it on too long (I forgot about it, to be honest) so by the time I got to it it was kind of dry. After scrubbing everything, I wasn’t super impressed. It cleaned pretty well. But after scrubbing, I needed a shower. There were some spots that didn’t quite rinse off (again, the soap mixture was a little dry by then) so I brought the scrub brush in the shower with me. Well, I felt like I had a magic wand because the rest of the gunk on the tiles almost fell off with a second (wet) scrub. SPARKLING clean! Amazing!

  6. Sherry says:

    I just tried this cleaner. It worked! However, the smell was just overwhelming, made me dizzy. I added 10 drops of lavender oil and about 30 drops of tea tree oil, and it worked even better. I am not a wacky essential oils person, but had to do something about the smell. It really helped. I also think it made everything suds up better.

  7. Roselee says:

      Awesome! Thanks for sharing 🙂

  12. Christine says:

    Works great! Was using a recipe that had a lot more Dawn, but found this ratio works just as well with less rinsing needed.

    1. carrie says:

      Thank you! Yes, I agree that it does work great and so simple and easy to make!

  13. Michele Serna says:

    I tried this and it works great. The only exception is I have tile and grout in my showers. The vinegar eats the grout. Do you know how to clean them?

    1. carrie says:

      If the grout is sealed you can use vinegar on it – If not, I would recommend using equal parts baking soda and hydrogen peroxide mixed together to clean the grout and it shouldn’t corrode the grout.

  14. Sly says:

    Can you use this on fiberglass shower and bathtub?

    1. carrie says:

      Yes, this works great on fiberglass as well!
