Bathtub vs. Shower: What's Different About Cleaning Them

Cleaning bathroom fixtures

Bathroom cleaning almost always means dealing with the main fixture — a bathtub or a shower cabin, depending on what you have. Each one has its own quirks.

Cleaning a bathtub

A standard bathtub rarely causes problems, as long as there are no rust stains from a dripping tap. A weekly wipe with a mild cleaning product is usually enough. It’s best to avoid highly acidic products — they can damage the enamel.

Cleaning a shower cabin

A shower cabin is usually made of several materials — glass, plastic, metal, ceramic — and a single all-purpose product rarely works equally well on all of them.

To keep it clean for longer, rinse off soap foam right after showering and wipe the panels with a microfibre cloth — this noticeably cuts down on streaks and limescale.

When it’s easier to call in the professionals

Keeping a shower cabin clean takes time and the right products for each material. If you’d rather have your bathroom looking spotless quickly, without the hassle, our team can take care of it as part of a general cleaning or maintenance cleaning visit.
