Another effective method is to make a paste with baking soda and water, apply it to the soap scum, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then scrub gently with a soft brush2. Rinse well afterwards2. For textured glass shower doors, the vinegar solution can be enhanced by warming both the vinegar and water first2. Let the solution sit for a few minutes before scrubbing with a soft brush to get into the textures2. A melamine foam sponge like Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, used with water, can also remove soap scum effectively on glass shower doors2. You may not even need to rinse after using it2. To prevent future soap scum buildup, squeegee the shower walls and floor after each use to keep them bone dry
