If it is taking you ages to scrub away the grime on your shower screen, you are likely dealing with limescale, but it is incredibly easy to fix in just 10 minutes.
Limescale is made up of various minerals carried in the water that’s left behind when it evaporates. This can leave a hard, chalky stain that will stick stubbornly to the glass.
These water combined with soap, can make screens tricky to keep but removing any build-up is important as it can eat away at the glass and damage it.
However, you do not have to spend a lot of money on a chemical cleaning solution. The experts at have shared that the best way to remove is with lemon juice.
They said: “Of all cleaning products, lemon juice is a fan favourite. That is because it is not only an effective cleaning solution but also refreshing and can introduce a pleasant scent for a long time in the bathroom.”

A simple way to get showers clean again is to use lemon slices dipped in baking soda (Image: Getty)
Lemon juice contains citric acid, a natural solution which will react to limescale and soap scum to dissolve it without having to scrub it for ages.
It is mildly antibacterial, so it will also help make shower glass more hygienic, and it is unlikely to leave streaks as it evaporates quickly.
This is a simple and cheap way to get your shower clean again, and all you need is one lemon.
How to clean shower glass with a lemon
All you need to do is cut a lemon in half and then dip one piece into a bowl filled with baking soda.
Baking soda is abrasive, which will help remove limescale and soap without damaging the glass.
It is also alkaline, which means it will react to the acidic lemon juice to create a fizzy paste, which will aid in loosening any grime stuck to the shower screen.

When you have your baking soda-dipped lemon then simply use it on the glass by gently scrubbing it in a circular motion.
The limescale and other grime should easily lift away. Once you have removed all the stains, simply rinse the shower glass with water, and it should be completely cleaned.
If you want to prevent limescale buildup in the future, make sure to clean your shower every one to two weeks and that your bathroom has plenty of airflow so that the glass dries quickly after a shower.
The expert said: “Proper ventilation is especially important to minimise the burden of bathroom cleaning. Always open all doors and windows after taking a shower.”
