How does soap scum stick to glass shower doors?
Soap scum builds up on shower doors when soap is used in hard water. This is because soap scum forms when soap and magnesium particles react with each other in the water. So long as the water is used in our bathrooms and splashes onto our shower doors, soap scum will form when the minerals in the soap react with the soap.
This creates a scaly layer over the glass shower doors. Over time this build-up. People who have hard water (i.e. Hard water, which contains more minerals) can cause soap scums to build upon the shower doors.
If left unattended, the soap scum can quickly build up, especially if you continue to use the bathroom. Let's talk about the different methods you can use to remove soap scum.
