DIY Automatic Shower Cleaner
Busy moms need great cleaning solutions, right? We need ways to keep our house clean that are quick and easy..oh and that won’t break the bank. I love Scrubbing Bubbles shower cleaner, however, buying those refills really adds up. So I went looking for a DIY Automatic Shower Cleaner replacement.
The other problem I have with my automatic cleaner is that it cleans the top half of my shower but not the tub area. Do you have that problem too? My tub is a whirlpool tub…sounds wonderful but it’s a PAIN to clean. Trying to keep those jets clean is terrible. So what I want is a replacement for my automatic cleaner and then the same thing but in a spray bottle so I can get my tub too. Here’s what I found.
Automatic Shower Cleaner
If you already have Scrubbing Bubbles bottle, you can re-use it. Take the bottle and carefully remove the cap using a small plyers.
Ingredients
- 1/2 C Hydrogen Peroxide
- 1/2 C Rubbing Alcohol
- 2 tsp Dish Soap
- 2 tsp Rinse Aid (such as Cascade)
- Water
Instructions
- Add Hydrogen Peroxide, Rubbing Alcohol, Dish Soap and Rinse Aid to the bottle. Fill with water. Replace the cap by twisting back on and gently shake. Put back in your automatic sprayer and use as normal.
Spray Bottle Shower Cleaner
Now here’s the same thing but I used this one in a spray bottle so it has the water measured out in ounces. The other thing I did was print out the instructions and taped it right to the bottle. That way, I have it and can refill when needed. I also used clear packing tape to cover the paper completely to water proof it a bit. 
Ingredients
- 24 oz. water
- ½ cup hydrogen peroxide
- ½ cup rubbing alcohol
- 2 tsp. dish soap
- 2 tsp. rinse aid
Instructions
- Pour water into a clean spray bottle
- Add hydrogen peroxide
- Add rubbing alcohol.
- Add dish soap
- Add rinse aid
- Shake gently to mix
Prior to first use, clean shower thoroughly. Then spray daily to maintain and/or use your DIY Automatic Shower Cleaner daily.

I love making my own cleaners. I’ve only been doing it for a short while but the savings really adds up quick plus I know what I’m putting in them! I’m gonna give this a try, thanks for the idea!
This is really good advice.
For those who like to use a ecofriendly and household safe ready to use shower cleaner, there is a new “green” cleaning chemical manufacturer that has an excellent shower cleaner that dissolves soap scum. The company is BioWorx.us They are coming out with a full line of household cleaners. Their goal is to have green cleaners outperform the best non-green cleaners. I tried just about every shower cleaner known to mankind trying to remove nasty soap scum buildup in my kids shower. With this, a corn based product, the heavy layer of soap scum dissolved like butter. I now use it on a regular basis not because it works, but because I have had skin cancer a couple times and I hate the thought of showering with toxic residue from regular cleaning chemicals.
