Hiya, Heather. Do you have a link for the lemon oil you’re thinking of, by chance? I’m not finding anything nontoxic, unless I just don’t understand, which is entirely possible. (No rush, FYI.)

Cheryl,
I have not heard of that product, it may be worth a try.

Chuck,
That is a good suggestion.

Peg,

There are several car waxes available using that are far less of a concern. Additionally, lemon oil is nontoxic and why I threw it out there.

Thankfully hard water is a non-issue where we live.

Margo,
She would still have to address the problem every few days, this will reduce the upkeep.

Uh, but do you really think you want those chemicals in shower — your bare skin and all? Might want to rethink whether spots are preferable to tumors/lesions (as just one obvious example)!

Doesn’t a magic eraser work on like anything?

You might want to check with the people who installed your glass shower wall(s) and door(s).

My guy said sprays COULD affect the adhesives used around the hinges and especially the clear plastic strips which fill gaps around the door and at the bottom.

So far (a year) I find a strong spray followed by squeegee does the job. But, then I don’t think I have “hard” water.

See what the glass man says.

Lemi Shine works great for that. It is formulated to get hard water deposits off of dishes and your dishwasher but there are other uses for it. The instructions on their website:
Take an empty spray bottle and fill it with 16 ounces of water and 1/4 cup of Lemi Shine. Spray the shower doors thoroughly and allow to soak for a few minutes, then rinse. It’s that simple! With repeated use, your glass doors will shine like new!
