DIY Shower Spray To Use Everyday

Are you tired of scrubbing a dirty shower? Save time with this DIY shower spray. Prevent mold and keep your shower looking clean with this homemade shower spray.

If you have followed my blog long at all you know I love talking about all things clean! Even though I haven't always been a clean freak I have always loved finding new ways to clean.

I realized that the more things I could clean or wipe down each day kept my house clean in less time. It's kind of like doing your dishes while you cook. It just makes life easier.

The shower is the same way. Hard water stains buildup on the door, mildew can start making the shower smelly, and the faucet will get limescale buildup.

By using a daily shower spray you can keep things from building up and the shower stays clean.

If you are looking for easy ways to make cleaning easier I highly recommend this DIY shower spray. In just seconds a day, you can keep your shower looking clean and save yourself time.

DIY Shower Spray

To make up a batch of the homemade shower spray you just need a few things. Most of which you probably have around the house.

Ingredients To Make Shower Spray

You will need:

• vinegar (just the plain white vinegar)
• rubbing alcohol
• dish soap (I prefer blue dawn)
• essential oils
• spray bottle (I bought mine on Amazon)
• Shower Squeegee (if you want from Amazon)

It's often suggested to use glass with essential oils but I didn't at all like the idea of using glass in the shower, so I use a metal spray bottle that I bought on Amazon. You can use whatever works best for you.

Making DIY Shower Spray

Step 1: Put 1/2 cup of vinegar in the bottle.

Step 2: Add 3/4 cup of water to the bottle.

Step 3: Then add 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol to the spray bottle.

Step 4: Add 5 drops of dish soap to the spray bottle.

Step 5: Finally, add about 10-20 drops of lemon essential oil to the bottle. Give it a little shake and you are ready to use.

Dawn or Castile Soap

I like Dawn dish soap for the DIY shower spray, however, some people swear by castile soap. Castile soap is great but doesn't work as well with hard water, in my opinion. So if you tend to have hard water I would stick to dawn.

Note: The most important thing is not to use too much dish soap. If you use too much soap the shower floor could become slippery. I recommend starting with less and adding more if needed.

Together all of these work to keep your shower clean. The vinegar will kill off germs and bacteria, plus keep the hard water from forming on surfaces. The rubbing alcohol will help the mix dry fast so it doesn't leave water spots.

The dawn soap will help clean the shower and the lemon essential oil will also help to kill off any bacteria.

Homemade Shower Spray For Mold

If you are dealing with mold or mildew in your shower you can help prevent it by changing things up a little in the shower spray.

Use the same ingredients as above, however, you will also want to add about 20 drops of tea tree oil.

Tea tree oil does a great job of preventing mold and mildew, so by adding it to your DIY shower spray you can help prevent the mold and mildew from starting in your shower.

Keep in mind although tea tree oil prevents mold and mildew by forming the small amount that is in the shower spray won't get rid of what is currently there. If you already have some mold or mildew you will need to clean it first.

How To Use It Daily

Using this homemade shower spray daily is the easiest way to keep your shower free from soap scum, mildew, and hard water buildup.

Start With A Clean Shower

You will want to start with a clean shower to use the spray. Although the DIY shower spray will prevent buildup on your shower, it won't clean it for you.

Once your shower is clean then you can use it every day after you finish showering.

Squeegee The Shower

I like to start by using a shower squeegee to remove some of the water from the walls.

Lightly Mist The Shower

Then, just lightly mist the shower, faucets, and shower door after your shower. As always, I recommend spot testing first on the tile and faucets to make sure you don't damage your shower.

Let It Dry

Just let the DIY shower spray dry. You don't need to wipe it down or do anything.

Note: If you have multiple people using the same shower then have the last person in the shower use it.

It's just that easy! Although you will need to occasionally clean your shower you will save yourself the heavy-duty scrubbing and elbow grease that you need to clean a shower.

With this simple DIY shower spray, you will save yourself the time and frustration of constantly cleaning the shower. Plus, it will help keep the hard water stains away. Say goodbye to mold and mildew with this easy-to-make homemade shower spray.
