Shower stalls are hard to
clean but you can make
the job easier if everyone
who uses the shower wipes
the walls with their towel
after drying themselves. For
a thorough cleaning of the
stall, run the shower first with
hot water to loosen dirt.
Then use a mixture of 'A cup
vinegar, 1 cup clear ammo
nia, 'A cup baking soda, and
one gallon of warm water to
clean the walls and floor, fol
lowed by a clear
water rinse
Glass shower
doors will shine if
you wipe them with
plain white vinegar
