The shower door often looks messy, and there's not a lot you can do to prevent it.
The water we use often leaves hard limescale stains on the glass while soap scum from scrubbing our bodies sticks on too.
Fortunately, one cleaning whiz has shared the cheap hack that will get your shower doors squeaky clean in seconds.
Taking to social media, they shared a clip of their shower door which was covered in stubborn water stains.
But instead of spending hours scrubbing at it, they shared the hack to get it off in seconds.
The best part is that you definitely already have the product in your bathroom.
The cleaning pro took a tube of toothpaste and applied a pea-size amount to the shower door.
They then took a regular washing up sponge that was damp and began to rub the toothpaste on the glass.
Once done, they turned the shower on and rinsed off the toothpaste.
In just a few seconds, the glass had become squeaky clean once again.
I'm a cleaning whizz, using a 15p household item will make your tap shine in minutes
You can buy a tube of toothpaste for 75p from Waitrose making the hack cost just 5p a time.
The clip posted to their TikTok account @ heyyy.j7 went viral with over 10 million views and 118k likes.
People were quick to try it themselves while others shared their own cleaning hacks.
