Limescale on shower screens is a common problem. The warm water droplets that remain behind contain limescale and minerals. These dry on the glass and form white spots and a dull haze. The longer you wait, the harder the layer becomes and the more difficult it is to remove. In this blog, you can read how to get your shower screen clear again and how to prevent the limescale from returning quickly.
Removing limescale from shower screens: which products work?
Many people first try vinegar or cleaning soda. This seems convenient, but often works too mildly on stubborn limescale. Some products can even damage the glass or coating. Scouring pads also quickly cause scratches.
A genuine descaler is therefore the best choice. This dissolves limescale instead of trying to scrub it away.
The best approach is to use a powerful gel such as Super Sanitary Descaler and Cleaner. This gel adheres to the surface, allowing the product to take effect without running off immediately, as is the case with liquid products. This ensures better results and less work.
This is how you remove limescale!
SUPER Sanitary Descaler & Cleaner
- Unique descaling gel
- Lime scale shower door removal
- Removing limescale deposits from joints
For best results, use a good descaler and a soft scouring pad. These steps will help you clean your shower screen effortlessly.
- First degrease shower wall and tiles with Super Degreaser or Super Heavy Cleaner.
- Apply the Super Sanitary Descaler to the surface and allow the product to act for 30 seconds
- Scrub the surface with a Super Scouring Pad or a scouring pad (non-scratch)
- Rinse off the sanitary cleaner with warm water
Please take care with certain surfaces!
Never use descaler on calcareous surfaces such as marble and natural stone. These materials can become dull or damaged. If you have natural stone in your bathroom, it is better to use a special natural stone product.

In many bathrooms, limescale also builds up in the grouting around the shower wall. For this, it is best to use Super Grout and Stain Remover.

Do not use this product in combination with descaler.

- Ensure adequate ventilation when used in confined spaces (e.g. open window or extractor)
