Daily Shower Cleaner

April 28, 2016 Updated on July 28, 2019 By Beth K 11 Comments This post contains affiliate links.

Remember those weird spray contraptions that would automatically spray down your shower daily so you never had to clean it again? They were crazy expensive and the smell was disgusting, but I thought the idea of never cleaning again was pretty great. So I played around and crafted this Daily Shower Cleaner recipe, and I’m pretty sure it’s just as good.

I’m sure you’ve noticed my new love affair with Sal Suds. It’s a really versatile cleaner that rinses clean even in hard water. We use it all over our home in our:

  • laundry detergent
  • dish soap
  • tile floor cleaner

Sal Suds is all-natural and even more powerful than pure Castile soap (which you can use for household cleaning, but we love it more for our beauty recipes like foaming hand soap and foaming face wash).

If you’re looking for more ideas on how to use Sal Suds in your home, check out this great resource to get ideas on other ways you might use Sal Suds in your cleaning routine.

This recipe also relies heavily on the cleaning power of vinegar. Distilled white vinegar has a long history of being an inexpensive, non-toxic, and effective multipurpose household cleaner. You’ll love the way it gets rid of any odors, too.

Tea Tree and Thieves essential oils combine to pack a cleaning punch in this Daily Shower Cleaner.

Tea Tree includes the naturally occurring constituents terpinene-4-ol, gamma-terpinene, and alpha-terpinene. Thieves essential oil delivers a warm and energizing scent, plus extra cleaning power.

Daily Shower Cleaner

Ingredients

  • 1 cup distilled water
  • 1 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dr. Bronner’s Sal Suds Organic Cleaner
  • 10 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil
  • 10 drops Thieves Essential Oil

Directions

  • Add the water and white vinegar to a 16 oz amber glass spray bottle. (The dark spray bottle keeps the oils from being altered by light.)
  • Pour in the Sal Suds Cleaner and the essential oils.
  • Replace the spray lid and swirl to combine.
  • To use: After you shower, spray this onto the walls and door of your shower. Allow spray to sit for 2 minutes before rinsing.
  • Store the Daily Shower Cleaner in a cool, dark place away from the heat of the shower.

Note: This spray should not be used on natural stone because the vinegar could harm the surface.

    Did you notice that Sale Suds has SLS as one of the first ingredients? That ingredient alone causes all kinds of issues and is one of the top ingredients listed as TOXIC on EWG.com website.
    I surely wouldn’t use it in my home let alone spraying it on food as recommended in the description of the link you shared.
    As a concerned mom I would not suggest using this salt suds product.

      Hi Karen,
      Thanks for sharing your concerns. We’re definitely not suggesting that anyone use this product on food.

      You also might be interested to note that Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is not the same ingredient as Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which is the second ingredient in Sal Suds, is rated 1 – 2 on the site you mentioned.

    I wonder how this recipe would do with thieves cleaner instead of the suds. Have you tried it? I only ask because I have the thieves.

      Give it a try and let us know how you like it! Sounds smart to me if you already have that on hand.

    I made this and my nose isn’t super fond of the heavy vinegar scent. Is there anything I can add to this to make it… less… vinegar-y?

      Hi Kelly! We used a cup of vinegar. You could try just a half a cup and see if that helps or maybe add additional water to dilute it. If you have Thieves cleaner you could also add a small capful to help with the vinegar smell. Hope that helps!
