The Secret To Crystal-Clear Shower Doors Is Already In Your Pantry

Sometimes no matter how hard you try, getting rid of any fogginess on the shower doors is a challenge. Soap scum, water stains, and droplets of liquid can linger, making it still look dirty even though you've already cleaned it. While it can be hard to achieve clear, streak-free glass, there are genius hacks to keep your shower squeaky clean, especially when it comes to the doors.

One particular hack to keep those doors sparkly clean involves using a pantry staple: coconut oil. The versatile fatty substance can be used for just about everything: a natural hair conditioner, a makeup remover, a healthy, edible ingredient in your recipes, and even a way to fight cavities. Coconut oil is also a great, plant-based cleaner because it's naturally anti-bacterial and removes grease. There are a lot of unique ways you can use coconut oil around the house, including as an all-natural cleaning hack to cut through the leftover grime on your shower doors.

First, clean your shower doors as usual and see how much scummy film is left on the surface. If it's still not spotless and clear, then it's time to try this cleaning hack. Heat up some coconut oil in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds at a time and stir in between each stretch. Coconut oil liquifies at temperatures above 78 degrees Fahrenheit, but if you use too much heat all at once, the substance will overheat. You can also melt the pantry staple in a saucepan over the stove.

Once you have it in liquid form, add a small amount of lemon juice to make a mixture you'll rub onto the shower door. Next, combine vinegar and water to make a solution you'll use to remove the previous substance and polish those shower doors. The surface should finally be much clearer than before. Once your glass door is looking spotless, you don't have to stop there — you can start using coconut oil to clean the rest of your shower as well.
