How to Clean Shower Screens and Grout (Sydney Bathroom Guide)

Shower Screens and Grout: The Hard Part of Bathroom Cleaning

These two areas make or break a bathroom — and a bond inspection. Here's how to do them properly.

Glass Shower Screens

1. Spray with a vinegar-water solution or a dedicated soap-scum remover.

2. Leave 5–10 minutes to break down build-up.

3. Wipe with a non-scratch pad, then squeegee dry to avoid streaks.

4. For hard-water marks, a bicarb paste works on stubborn spots.

Grout

1. Apply a bicarb-soda paste or grout cleaner.

2. Scrub with a stiff brush (an old toothbrush for edges).

3. Rinse and dry. Re-seal if grout is old and porous.

Mould Warning

Black spots in grout are usually mould. Treat it properly — see mould removal cleaning. Don't just paint over it.
