Everyone knows that shower cabin doors attract foam, water stains, and other dirt. To keep them as neat as the rest of the bathroom, you don't need to scrub them all the time, just find a way to get a lasting clean. To have a perfectly clean shower enclosure, you can use products found in stores or you can make a homemade detergent with water and vinegar.
Steps

Let it act on the surfaces for a time that can vary from five to thirty minutes, depending on the amount of dirt present and in consideration of the last time you cleaned the shower enclosure.
Step 3. Fill a bucket or basin with water
You can also use the tub or sink if you prefer.

Step 5. After scrubbing the doors with the water-soaked sponge, start drying them
You can use a clean cloth or rag, but make sure the doors are dry. If the doors were left wet, more dirt would quickly accumulate.
Advice
- When cleaning the shower doors, use rubber gloves to protect your hands.
- If you can keep the doors consistently clean, you can rub them with baby oil or lemon juice. This will help prevent the build-up of foam on the doors, and will also ensure a longer time interval between cleaning.
