Cleaning a Shower Screen?

Yet to find a limescale remover that works as well as Viakal, strong smell but works a treat.

A quick squeegee after a shower helps prevent it happening in the first place.

I'm not sure if it's classed as limescale or soap scum tbh :D

I think it's a bit of both. I agree squeegee here and there too, have one in the shower for a quick wipe down but over the years it's built up and decorating the room soon so want it as fresh as poss!
 
If your not a complete klux and hamfisted then the best first stage is to use a window scraper (such as https://www.toolstation.com/stanley...9-pBG4xCApIRIFNaAnhoCUjYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds)

Draw/pull it slowly down the screen (backwards in effect) and a high percentage of the scum/water hardness will just flake off, its the temporary hardness and its not that hard in effect
Then you will find it far more efficient to use a product such as viakal as its only working on a small volume of stuff you want to remove not trying to dissolve large amounts

you can even do it directly with a stanley blade but the scraper makes it easier to get the correct balance of pressure

Note this is for glass screens.

As others mentioned, wiping/squeeging down frequently will help reduce the build up. As the water dries it leaves the marks, as they build up a larger and larger quantity of water can reside, vicious circle

Thanks for that suggestion! May give that a go, funnily enough I saw a clip of someone doing it the same way when looking it up. Looks effective
