    I got DH using non sulfate any other harsh chemicals free body wash for a while - made a real difference to the duration in which i had to clean my shower screens....but now, he's gone back to plain ole soap - which is the cause of this grime IMO.....

    I use gumption and scourer....then wipe it down with vinegar and water and chammy.

    Ive heard having a sqweedgy (sp ??) in the shower helps...and after every shower just wipe down the doors etc...but training Dh to do this will be a chore in itself.

    I use vinegar & bi carb on one of those sponge scourers which aren't harsh. Our screens come up beautifully... and like Mbear, I squeegy after using the shower but getting my kids to do the one in their bathroom is close to impossible.

    Using detergents (body wash, etc) is really preferable instead of soaps - you have to clean way less often and you don't get that really sticky scum at the bottom of the shower.

    If you do a really serious clean with domestos and scourer and get it looking great, you can keep it clean fairly easily. Make sure all suds are rinsed off after the shower and use a little spray of window cleaner and a squeegie to clean and dry the surface. Note that I say "you can" because, although I did keep the habit for a while, I've gotten lazy and left it out lately.
