DIY Home Cleaning Solutions for Shower Cabins and Garden Furniture

Home‑care guides recommend using common household ingredients to clean shower cabins and outdoor garden furniture without harsh chemicals. For showers, a paste of washing soda and hydrogen peroxide applied with an old toothbrush removes limescale, soap residue and mold, while diluted white vinegar cleans ceramic tiles and glass surfaces. Glass‑fiber doors can be wiped with a mixture of white vinegar and dish detergent, and natural stone such as marble or granite should be treated with mild, stone‑specific cleaners to avoid damage.

For garden furniture, the tips cover metal, rattan, plastic and wood. Rust on metal pieces can be scrubbed with raw potato halves or lemon soaked in salt, then washed with a mild soap solution. Rattan is cleaned with a foamy soap‑water mixture and a soft cloth, while plastic surfaces are wiped with warm soapy water or a vinegar‑water solution for stubborn stains. Wooden furniture is brushed, wiped with a damp cloth and, if scratched, treated with a night‑long application of wet sponge to restore the finish. All methods use inexpensive, readily available items such as vinegar, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, lemon, potato, dish detergent and oil.
