What do you use to clean your shower ?

I'm looking for some ideas.

Nothing crazy dirty about mine, but I'm curious what you all use in your showers to clean it after a camp outing.

I'm looking for sponge and cleaning solution, ideas.

We found a product called "RADIANCE" at Aldi. Just spray on and water is gone and a bright shiny finish and smells good too.
Our daughter told us about as she has a glass enclosed shower and works great on the glass; NO wipe down!!

We use simple green. Nothing fancy about it seems to work quite well with just a sponge. We also make sure we squeegee and wipe down the shower after each use. For the metal sinks we use the 'fine' version of Quick Glo.

Shower Cleaning

White vinegar. Cleans grime, dissolves hard water deposits.

Like WBISETT we squeegee and wipe down the shower after each use as well. This keeps the humidity in the trailer under control, reduces any chance of mildew etc. We clean with bio cleaners like Simply Green (there are other to choose from). The key is make sure you have good ventilation.

Like others, we have a squeegee that resides on the shower wall. After every shower, we wipe down the walls and seat and more importantly, wipe the water off the shower door so it does not end up on the floor outside the shower.

All this helps to keep the shower clean.

Simple Green to clean the shower (I dry the shower with a clean utility towel instead of using a squeegee). Sometimes I store the DISH satellite in the shower when I run low on storage space and it leaves light black marks from the satellite feet. Simple Green also removes the marks.

Squeegee is a must then drying w microfiber cloth while camping. Then after outings a spray bottle of little vinegar, Dawn & water. Possibly more important is keeping the humidity down in the whole trailer but particularly if you store anything inside the shower. Humidity and condensation are serious enemies inside AS.

Clean with simple green and then use Clean Shower after each use. Won't have to clean seriously again.

when using the RADIANCE, I don't need a squeegee or towel. Dries fast

Ya'll have provided tons of info to look at. I am looking to put a squeegee in there though for sure as I forgot this season.

Most of the time we use campground showers to prevent the moisture. Though sometimes the facilities are too far away, or not useable.

I am lazy. When I have showered I dry off in the shower with a towel and then wipe down the shower with the towel. Easy Peasy. The door as well.

Works for me and I use the shower all the time.

Yeah I do this as well too. I use those quick-dry towels that you 'pat' yourself with. Then put the towl outside in the truck to air dry.

Squeegee after last person takes shower. A little household cleaner if needed.

Cleaning

For 35 years I've used Shaklee cleaning products. They are bioavailable, non-toxic and work extremely well. Basic H2 for the shower and general cleaning, Basic G for the toilet (it's a germicide), and Scour Off for pots and pans, etc.

Same here

We squeegee off the water then wipe down a quick dry towel. We also pour some simple green into the drains every couple days following with hot water.

I use car wax on the Fiberglas shower stall and glass door. The spray version is easy to use - spray it on, wipe it off.
