Shower and Tub Cleaning: Why Soap Scum Is So Hard to Remove

Soap scum isn’t dirt. It’s a chemical reaction between soap, body oils, and minerals in water.

Once it hardens, regular surface cleaners won’t touch it. That’s why showers that are skipped for too long require bathroom-specific products and more scrubbing.

For maintenance, we use foaming shower cleaners designed to prevent buildup. For heavier conditions, stronger solutions are sometimes needed to reset the surface.

Consistency is what keeps showers easy to clean.
