Or in a spray bottle one cup of vinegar and one cup of dawn will cut through soap scum and it disinfects

RainX is ZERO comparing with german FUSION 5 Shower guard…this is real AntiCalc protection for shower glass up to 5 years. ..way more sophsticated coating…. See this .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d_Z-cfaNmQ Regards from Europe!
Fantastic tutorial. My gross ugly shower doors look new again. And love the Rainx tip so the new look can last 🙂
Adding baking soda to the vinegar increases the pH essentially making a smelly abrasive rendering the vinegar obsolete. Try vinegar in a spray bottle works just as good I'd not better then wait and wipe clean.
how much baking soda and how much vinegar?
Could you tell me what is in Rain X? could there be any harm to the plastic shower floor base, I like this idea, thanks
Just tried it and worked pretty go I think, but nothing is ever good enough for my wife unless it's her idea.
