This Dawn and vinegar homemade bath and shower cleaner is fantastic. The recipe has been floating around the web and so I had to give it a try for myself!
Couldn’t be more thrilled to have found an inexpensive powerful homemade bathroom cleaner. Once again vinegar proves to be a great household cleaner and you can even mix vinegar with baking soda for a great way to unclog a drain.

Ways to Use this Homemade Cleaner
This Dawn & vinegar cleaner will cut through soap scum, clean sinks, glass shower doors and also the toilet bowl. Just spritz it on, scrub and rinse. For tough soap scum build-up, spray the mixture on and allow it to sit for about 30 minutes. Scrub and rinse.
Do be careful, it does make a lot of bubbles, so the tub might be slippery. If there are too many bubbles adjust the ratio by mixing two parts vinegar to one part Dawn. Salt will also dissolve the bubbles.

For Laminate, linoleum, tile and hardwood use 1/3 c. water, 1/3c. white vinegar and 1/3 c. rubbing alcohol and a couple of drops of Dawn dish soap. Put it in a spray bottle. I love it. I used another brand cleaner with that same brand “mop” and it streaked and left a film on the floor. I love this cleaner!! Much less expensive too!!

Gail Murphy-Dawn is the washing up liquid they use here, it’s on par with fairy liquid
What can i use to clean my hardwood floor? I so tired to clean him, its always so stick when we walk! My sandals make a lot of noise e have a lot of fingertips. Thank you for the help and sorry for my english, its not very good.
Hello! I don’t live in the US, so I don’t have Dawn available. Will any dishwasher do?
I use 50/50 water and white vinegar. I dont heat up the vinegar. It works brilliant for everything – i dont buy any other cleaners. We also use it in the childcare centre I work at as its a great disinfectant without harsh fumes
Hi Gail, it is a liquid dish soap for washing dishes in the kitchen. I hope this helps.
Just the first time. However, I have made it many times and I often skip that step and it still works great.
I use this all the time and am a discusting slob so had scale on my tub from soap etc. started using it and scale gone with just this and a washcloth after a few showers.
Do you have to heat it up every time you use it? Or is that one time for vinegar?
Vinegar is too harsh. Don’t let it set too long.
Paula, my shower, in fact our whole master bath suite is natural stone, slate, marble and granite. I use a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water to clean all of it. I have a big spray bottle that I put 1/3 alcohol and fill up the rest with water then shake well. It cleans and disinfects beautifully! I use that same mixture to clean our mirrors and toilets. Been using it for years and have had excellent results.
Can anyone tell what is Dawn? I live in the United Kingdom and am not familiar with this product.
Thanks in advance
I use this recipe for shower buildup and dont need to srub off. Just let it sit for a couple minutes and everything rinses off easily! Love it 🙂
