DIY Daily Shower Cleaner Spray: No Scrubbing, No Rinsing!
We have hard water which always leaves spots on the shower, in the tub and on the glass shower door. It is never really a problem until someone is coming to visit! And, then….a panic attack can happen when you see all the hard water build-up.
Using this homemade daily shower cleaner makes it easy to keep your shower or tub clean and prevent grime! You know, like a stitch-in-time…..use it everyday!
This great thing is that this DIY shower spray is made with common ingredients you probably have at home: vinegar, rubbing alcohol, water, and peppermint oil. Just spray it after each shower to help cut down on soap scum, water spots, and odors—no scrubbing or rinsing needed.

Why a Daily Shower Cleaner Works
To keep your shower clean easily, spray it every day. This stops dirt from building up and hardening. You’ll spend less time cleaning deeply later and more time enjoying a fresh bathroom. (and, I mean really enjoy not halving to spend an hour or more to get it clean each month or so!)
Daily Shower Spray: A Fresh, Simple Way to Keep Your Shower Clean
Every ingredient in this recipe serves a specific purpose:
.Essential oils can reduce the strong smell of vinegar, especially if you dislike it. I’ve found that peppermint oil is the most effective at masking the vinegar odor.

DIY Daily Shower Spray Recipe: 16 oz.
You’ll need:
- 1 cup white vinegar
- ½ cup rubbing alcohol (70% is perfect)
- 1 teaspoon Dawn Dish Soap
- 10+/- drops peppermint essential oil
- 1 1/2 cups distilled water
- An empty clean sprayer bottle (I use this continuous spray bottle!)

Important Notes
IMPORTANT: This recipe uses vinegar, which can damage natural stone. Do not use this daily shower cleaner on any natural stone surface.
Plus, make sure to review all of the following tips!
- Always test on a small area first if you’re using it on natural stone, marble, or delicate surfaces, as vinegar can harm them.
- Don’t spray directly on brass or unsealed grout.
- Peppermint essential oil is strong. If you are sensitive to scents, start with fewer drops and increase as needed.
