Mrs Hinch fans reveal 55p trick to clean grotty shower scum – and people are amazed
A WOMAN has begged Mrs Hinch fans for help after failing to remove scum from a shower screen.
Showers are one of those bathroom essentials we use nearly every day. But it’s not easy to keep them squeaky clean.
Often we jump in, jump out and leave it to dry on its own - not once really thinking about what it’ll look like in a few hours.
But hard water and soap means often there’s a build-up of product left behind.
And after trying everything, including elbow grease, to remove the scum on the screen, one woman turned to a Facebook group for help.
“Asking for a friend - soap scum built up in a shower, what is the best product and how to remove, please,” she wrote.
“Tried elbow grease, but no luck,” she added.
Sharing a snap alongside the post, viewers could see a black–tiled shower with a screen that had soap scum all over it.
Taking to the comments section, people were quick to offer a simple and very cheap solution to the problem: dish soap.
“Fairy liquid and a scrub daddy sponge and to get into the tiles, use Astonish the good one with a toothbrush,” one person wrote.

Another said: “Dawn dish soap, scrub daddy rinse then I use my karsher window vac on it”.
And a third simply added: “Washing up liquid works a treat”.
While Fairy may not be the most economical option out there, there are dish wash soaps that are very cheap and will have the same impact in cleaning a shower screen.
Take Sainsbury’s own brand, for example, which can be bought for a mere 55p.
Washing up liquid wasn’t the only suggestion though as some also mentioned Cif cream, The Pink Stuff, UD40 and a simple mix of vinegar and water to fix the problem.
“Cream cif and a kitchen sponge,” one person wrote.
Another said: “WD40,” while a third shared: “I used pink it worked great.”
