The shower tray is a place where soap scum and residues easily accumulate. These stains not only look unsightly but also contribute to the growth of bacteria. Effective cleaning of the shower tray is not just a matter of aesthetics but also of hygiene.

In addition to standard cleaning agents, there are home methods that can be just as effective. We should strive to avoid chemicals that may damage the tray’s surface or negatively impact the environment.

Home methods for shower tray cleanliness

One popular home solution for a clean shower tray is using a dishwasher tablet. Start by plugging the drain and placing the tablet inside. Then, cover it with warm water. It's important not to use boiling water, which could damage the tray’s surface.

After about 15 minutes, when the tablet starts to work, you can wipe the tray's surface. This way, soap residues and limescale will be removed with minimal effort. Dishwasher tablets often contain shine agents, which also help restore the tray’s gloss.

Dishwasher tablets – a universal solution

Tablets that we use daily in dishwashers have more applications than you might think. Besides the shower tray, they can also be used to clean the toilet, effectively removing yellow stains and limescale. A significant advantage is their ability to neutralize unpleasant smells, contributing to the overall comfort of bathroom use.
