My DS is a stickler for a clean shower. He uses Epsom salts and vinegar and you need sunglasses to look at his shower. He says you don't have to scrub hard let the Epsom salt and vinegar do the work.

the only thing that will do the trick where i live is a product called CLR - it's toxic and you have to be careful but it works. the only other solution (and i've tried them all) is to remove the shower doors and replace them with shower curtain.

If you use liquid soap instead of bar soap, you should not get soap scum. I buy a glass cleaner at auto supply /Pep Boys store that removes mineral deposits. My show door looks new & was installed when house was built in 1984.

I just bought the new Mr Clean Magic Eraser for Soap Scum.
It works great!
We have a glass surround on 2 sides of our shower, with tumbled marble tile on the other 2 walls. We rinse and squeegee the glass daily, but it still gets soap scum on it. I tried the soap scum Magic Eraser and was amazed! I did it twicw and it looks wonderful! I am planning on going over the glass once a week (in addition to the daily squeegee) to keep it sparkling. I haven't used it on the tile yet. The bottom tiles get a film build-up too. We rinse and wipe them down (also daily) with a Sham-Wow (really absorbs the water!) but I think I will try th Magic Eraser on that too, this weekend.
This is not the same as the regular Magic Eraser. This one just came out.
