unused shower

alissa2128

We don't really use the shower in our downstairs bathroom. We recently remodeled our upstairs bath, and we have been using that shower instead. I did give the downstairs one a good scrubbing a couple of weeks ago once we began using the upstairs one. So my question is, if you have a shower that you don't use, how often do you clean it? Just after you use it, once a month, only before guests come?

TIA!

Hmm... I think whenever you have guests sounds good... but if there is a long gap between guests you will probably have to give it a once-over anyway.

I clean the unused bathrooms before having guests over, but use the scrubbing bubbles automatic toilet bowl cleaners once a week to prevent grime build up.

I'd go with whenever guests come AND/OR when it looks visibly dirty/dusty. It probably won't get very dirty, since there won't be soap scum, but there still might be some water, and obviously dust and whatnot, and I would worry that you might get stains, especially if you have hard water, if you NEVER clean it.

Thanks ladies! My thoughts were to just clean it before guests come and also after it gets used if it does, I just wanted another opinion to make sure I wasn't being "gross" by not cleaning it, LOL. And I definitely plan to take a glance in there every so often to see if it's dusty or dirty in anyway and then I would definitely give it a cleaning!

We never use the shower near our spare bedrooms. I only clean it when we're having overnight guests. And maybe a quick wipe down if we're having company, in case they're nosy & peek behind the shower curtain.

That's always my fear when we have company! LOL.

We have a tub in the guest bath, that I use in the mornings to wash my hair, if I had showered the night before (like after a workout), I dry it out after each use, but don't scrub it usually unless someone is visiting or unless it really looks crummy.
