Obviously, with the first type of pollution, it is necessary to work regularly, and with the rest, as it is contaminated and occurred.
The question arose - how to wash the shower? We offer a great fast method using ordinary home chemistry, which is found in almost every house:
- Remove all things, detergents and washcloths from the shower. Very often, because of our rapid lifestyle, we forget to throw out empty bottles of shampoos, old razors and much more;.
- Open hot water and rinse all the walls, as well as the bottom of the shower cabin.

- Spray a window for washing windows on one site and actively rub with a regular washcloth. With simple pollution, the product copes with a bang! If desired, you can purchase a spray for cleaning the shower cabin, but we assure that the funds work the same way.
- After processing all parts of the cabin, go inside the cab (in rubber slippers, so as not to contact the detergent) and close the door of the shower.
- Process the inner part of the door, as well as the whole shower for glass, as well as wash those parts to which you could not reach, being outside the shower cabin;
- Wash the whole cabin thoroughly.
- Now we go to the outer part of the cab. It is less polluted, but once a month it also needs to be washed.
