An Australian mum has shared how she made a filthy shower sparkling clean using Bar Keeper’s Friend cleanser and polish to eliminate a heavy build-up of soap scum.
The woman said due to the ‘putrid’ state of the shower she expected to have to clean the glass doors multiple times but they were crystal clear after one scrub.
In the post to the Mums Who Clean Facebook group, she said she gave Bar Keeper’s Friend a go after fellow members recommended the cleaner on the shower in her new rental that hadn’t been cleaned by the previous tenants.
Before and after: An Australian mum has shared how she made a shower caked in soap scum look like new again using a ‘miracle’ cleaning product
‘We moved into our home 2.5 months ago and the previous tenants had not cleaned the shower at all. It was absolutely putrid,’ she wrote.
She said she mixed the Bar Keeper’s Friend power with water to make a paste and with a scourer wiped and gently scrubbed the soap scum off the shower
‘When I broke out the Bar Keeper’s Friend I was expecting to have to have a number of goes but it was one and done!’
The mum explained she mixed the Bar Keeper’s Friend power with water to make a ‘watery paste’ and with a scourer wiped and gently scrubbed the soap scum off the shower.
She said she then rinsed the paste off a few times until the white residue from the Bar Keeper’s Friend was washed away.
‘Once the glass/surfaces don’t have that white residue, dry with a soft glass microfibre cloth or wet the surface again and squeegee dry. Just water and Bar Keeper’s Friend is all you need,’ she said.
Dozens of members were impressed with the cleaning job ‘well done’ and others said the results looks ‘very satisfying’.
‘Me running to the shop to buy this miracle product,’ one woman said.
‘I only ever used BKF on steel things so must try on my glass shower now! Thanks!’ replied another.
‘I have a similar issue and this gives me hope’ a third commented.
