do u mean on clear shower doors? bc i have the same problem. those streaks are deadly. last week i bought a squeegee type thing from bed bath and beyond. kinda like those things the gas station attendant cleans your windshield with. it has a suction cup and sticks to the wall of the shower and i try to use it after every shower. sometimes ill use windex with it. it definitely helps

I don't have a problem with streaking tiles, but mine are a matte finish in a white with grey & pink mottled finish. I usually use Scrubbing Bubbles to clean the shower and tub and streaking isn't anything I've noticed.

I have many shower cleaning issues (mostly rust, mold) , & have tried many products but I don't think I've had streaking issues in any of my bathrooms in the past, or in my current one. Chat Icon

What do you use? Do you start on dry or wet tiles? Do you rinse well?

I've used, Scrubbing Bubbles, Pine Sol ( good if you have a roommate who uses so much hair pomade it leaves a residue in the tub), Lysol, Tilex (excellent on caulk mildew) , Clorox Cleanup, CLR, Limeaway, Greased Lightening (that left a residue, actually), Method, vinegar & water, Seventh Generation (my current favorite.)

Maybe you are using too much product?

I use Clorox spray -- does the trick for me.

We use Lysol Mildew Remover with bleach (we don't have mildew) but it truly gets right through the soap scum!!!

I always use Tilex with bleach and never had streaks.
I also like Scrubbing Bubbles too!

I use this too. They look so shiny!

I also use lemon oil sometimes after cleaning. It looks super shiny and helps repel water.

Re: What do you clean your shower with that doesnt leave streaks?

I use strictly bleach. I had a lot of animals growing up - think 18 cats, two dogs, rabbit, hamster... So all my mom did was clean with bleach. You couldn't tell we had any animals at all if you didn't know us.

So bleach it is for me.

I hear the magic eraser is pretty good too.

I take a sponge and some Dr. Bronner's which I use for EVERYTHING and wash then rinse. Perfect.

Re: What do you clean your shower with that doesnt leave streaks?

i usually clean the shower every time i take a shower. i either spray it down with clorox clean up or i go over everything with a magic eraser.
if your having trouble with streaks keep a rag around and after your showers dry everything off with the rag.

I spray the walls with a bleach cleaner and let it sit over night. The next morning I let very hot water run for a minute before I get in.

I also keep a squeegee in the shower so I wipe the walls down after every shower and that keeps the tile very clean.
