Is your shower glass cloudy, no matter how often you clean it? Hard water spots, soap scum, and mineral deposits are stubborn culprits—but you can restore the shine with the right method. In this guide, we’ll show you how to shine shower glass using The Pink Stuff and finish with a streak-free protective glow.
What You’ll Need:
- The Pink Stuff cleaning paste
- Microfiber cloths
- Soft sponge or non-scratch scrubber
- Warm water
- Glass drying/polishing cloth
- Optional: Shower shield or glass protectant spray

How To Shine Shower Glass With The Pink Stuff
- Apply The Pink Stuff
Dampen your sponge or cloth and scoop a small amount of the paste. Rub directly onto the glass in circular motions, focusing on soap scum and water marks. - Let It Sit
Give the paste 3–5 minutes to work. This loosens the buildup and allows the mild abrasives to activate. - Scrub Gently
Use a non-scratch scrubber to work the paste into tough areas. Avoid steel wool or anything that may scratch the glass. - Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse with warm water to remove all residue. Repeat the process for problem spots. - Dry & Buff
Wipe the glass dry with a clean microfiber cloth. Then, go over it again with a glass polishing cloth for a streak-free finish. - Add Protection (Optional but Recommended)
Finish with a glass protectant like Rain-X or Method Daily Shower Spray to prevent future buildup and extend the clean.

Tips for Best Results:
- Always test on a small area first if you’re using it on tinted or treated glass.
- Clean the glass when the shower is dry to prevent water from diluting the paste.
- For etched or badly stained glass, multiple rounds may be needed.

FAQs About Cleaning Shower Glass with The Pink Stuff
Is The Pink Stuff safe for all types of shower glass?
Yes, The Pink Stuff is generally safe for most glass surfaces, but you should always test it on a small, inconspicuous area first—especially if your shower glass is tinted, frosted, or coated.
How often should I clean my shower glass with The Pink Stuff?
We recommend deep cleaning every 2–4 weeks, depending on how often the shower is used and how hard your water is.
What’s the difference between The Pink Stuff paste and spray?
The paste is more abrasive and best for tough build-up, while the spray is gentler and better for daily maintenance between deep cleans.
Can The Pink Stuff remove hard water stains?

Not if used correctly. Be sure to rinse thoroughly and follow up with a microfiber polishing cloth to remove all residue and prevent streaks.
Should I wear gloves when using The Pink Stuff?
It’s a good idea, especially if you have sensitive skin. While The Pink Stuff is non-toxic, frequent use of any cleaner can dry out your hands.
What kind of cloth should I use to buff the glass?
A dry, lint-free microfiber cloth or a dedicated glass polishing cloth works best to achieve a streak-free shine.
