To prevent soap scum build-up, you’ll need:

Use a squeegee to wipe down the shower glass after every shower. For particularly stubborn water spots, use a dryer sheet to wipe them clean. Use them on the regular; soap scum is a terrible time.

Fill your sink with enough warm water to cover your glassware and add two cups of white vinegar and let them soak for 10 minutes. Then, wipe them dry with a microfibre cloth.

Using all these tips should equip you with everything you need to keep your glass looking clear and streak-free going forward. You’re welcome!
