Use 2-3 teaspoons of lemon oil on a dry cloth and apply on shower doors in overlapping horizontal strokes. Using lemon oil is a way to make shampoo, soap scum, and grimy water roll down the drain.
Keep dust out of your house
The simplest way to keep a house clean is to keep dust from ever getting into your house in the first place.
