Why does a room that is dedicated to the art of cleaning often end up being one of the dirtiest places in the entire house? This can certainly be an oxymoron, but it's also a harsh reality when you are on your hands and knees scrubbing away at those tiles. Most of the damage seems to occur in and around the shower stall and there must be a better way to handle this. Is it time for you to redesign your bathroom so that you can spend your time on something more productive?

Why Your Shower Curtain Needs to Go

If you haven't updated your bathroom for some time, it is possible that the shower is "segregated" from the rest of the room by one a shower curtains. These curtains are certainly functional, but they can be difficult to keep clean.

Furthermore, the youngest members of your family may forget to close the curtains properly when they are going through their daily routine. Consequently, soapy water finds its way past the curtain and gets on to your expensive bathroom accessories, wooden cabinets and tiled floor. Over time, this can lead to a buildup of soap scum and stains and be very difficult to get off. Hence, your overtime shift as the cleaner.

Consider Your Shower Screen Options

It's time for you to get rid of those curtains and install glass shower screens instead. They will not only keep soap scum and water stains in their place, but they will add an illusion of space to what is often the smallest room in the house.

You can choose from frosted, coloured or textured glass if you want to match this new addition to the rest of your decor, or you could simply choose plain glass. Either way, it's relatively easy to keep them clean.

Go for an Easy-to-Clean Option

If you are wondering about a buildup of soap scum on the glass surface, simply add a small amount of household vinegar to a drop of soap and mix with water. Apply this to the surface and let it sit for a few minutes before washing off. Your glass surface will be spotlessly clean.
