How do you get all the soap scum and water spots off of the glass in a stand-up shower without scratching the protective coating? I learned the hard way not to use a plastic scrub pad because of the fine scratches it leaves behind. What products will safe and effective? Thanks...

They probably make specific products for this. Also, wouldn't Scrubbing Bubbles and a clean, wet cloth do the trick?
I haven't cleaned glass shower surrounds since I was little (we had them in the house I grew up in), but I remember using that on them.
Windex might help to get streaks off, or a similar working glass cleaner.
I'm not an expert, so hopefully someone else has some ideas.

I just read about cleaning water deposits off of glass with steel wool. A fine grade steel wool, I would try a brillo pad first. I also use lemon oil to clean shower doors and shine up fixtures. Also Comet spray bathroom cleaner cleans and smells good!

The glass that I clean in this shower has some type of thin plastic coating on it. I have used plastic green scub pads on glass before without any scratches, but this glass is different. I have to make sure that there isn't anything abbrassive in the cleaners I use. I have used scrubbing bubbles, home made cleaners, etc... and they do ok, but I think that certain bath products used in the shower contain wax that adheres to the glass and is hard to dissolve, and ends up smearing. |

I like to use a microfiber towel. You can get them in the auto section of your store. They work great on shower doors and on vinyl floors with hairspray on them.
check and see if a Magic Ereaser would work. It works awesome on fiberglass and pure glass showers.
My partner keeps reminding me to READ THE LABELS on your cleaners. if it says let stand 30 seconds... then do that. let the cleaners do the work for you.
