Showers often get pink very quickly this time of year around here anyway due to the high humidity. One way to help keep this under control is to keep the exhaust fan on after you shower for at least 15 minutes. This helps to get the moisture out of the shower. You should also leave the shower door open. The moisture will not rise up. It will stay low and if the door is left open this will help it to get out and not turn into mold.
Another great tool to have in your shower is a squeegee. Before you get out of the shower just wipe all the areas down including the doors and the floor. The less moisture in the shower will help keep the mold from growing.
Another tip to keep your shower cleaner longer is to make sure you rinse all the soap off the glass and walls before you get out. The soap you leave behind will start to create soap scum. When left on there every time you shower you just keep adding onto it. This is why when you get ready to clean your shower you just can’t seem to get that off.
Now when we come into clean your shower, we make sure all the soap scum is off and the glass is streak free. One of the reasons we can do this is because we make sure all traces of the cleaner we use is rinsed off. Cleaners are made to attract dirt so if you leave cleaner on the walls and glass all it is going to do is attract the dirt.

I always squeegee my shower. I started after it became a pain to clean because of the buildup. Bang on tips here! It’s so much easier to do things right the first time and save trouble later on..
GREAT tips… especially the squeegee! I will definitely be buying one of those the next time I hit Target ;-).
Thanks for those tips! I never knew that about leaving a trace of cleaner on the shower wall! Very interesting and useful information! : )
I need to use my squeegee more often, thanks for the reminder!
Our water has limestone in it so we have to use a squeegee every time. I never realized bathroom cleanser attracts dirt if it’s not all rinsed off! Thanks!
This is excellent advice. Cleaning the shower is such a chore and mystery. It’s good to know how to cut down on cleaning time by a few prevention techniques. Thanks!
Thanks for the great tips, Jan.
Excellent tips for keeping my shower scum and mold free! Thanks will leave the shower door open until dry from now on.
I need to get at this; I like all your tips…but I find myself doing the shower once every week while I am in the shower…:)
Great info, I just need to do what you say! I’m spoiled that I have a hubby who does a great job cleaning our shower!!
I have used a squeegee for years and you’re right, it makes a huge difference! Great tips, Jan!
Since I read this the other day I’ve been leaving the vent on longer and the door open. Thanks for the info Jan!
Thanks for great shower tips. I like using a sponge with some Dr. Bronner’s on it to clean the titles fast. I will have to get a squeegee.
So when can you come to my house to do this?? =P
Jan, thanks so much for these great tips that will help make cleaning much easier! You always have great info to share!
Great tips and easy to follow. Thanks so much for sharing.
Love these tips! Bathrooms are one of my pet peeves to be clean and streak free! Thanks!
Excellent tips. I have been trying to do the shower while I’m in it and it makes it a bit easier. Squeegee will be added to my shopping list.
If you do these small simple steps your shower will look great π
Great tips, Jan! hubby has been using the squeegee for many years to clean the shower. It works wonderful. Thanks π
Thanks for stopping by Susan π
Thanks for these tips!! I so wish you were in my area.. I would hire you in a hot minute!!
Thank you! Maybe one day we can branch out π
I forgot about the squeegee! Thanks for the reminder…I’m the household shower cleaner! π
Next to our magic erasers the squeegee is one of our favorites π
My shower is disgusting! We have a curtain, not a door. I didn’t realize leaving the fan on for that long after would take a lot of the moisture! Thanks for sharing Jan!
The difference with a curtain is you want to make sure you do not bunch up the curtain. Then you get mold and soap scum growing on it. You should also replace it when it gets this way. You can also put it in the washer. I have done this before.
Great tips!! Now if only I could get my hubby to keep the exhaust fan on..lol:)
To me this is one of the hardest of the steps. I also have a habit of turning things off when you leave the room π
After I’ve read your post Jan, now I know that it’s more likely important to use my squeegee more often. Thanks for this helpful post Jan!
Great! Thanks for stopping by π
