These natural cleaning agents are both effective and safe for your shower floor, and they won't leave any harsh chemical residue.
Here's how to clean your shower floor using baking soda and vinegar:
Step 1: Gather your supplies

- For a deeper clean, you can repeat the cleaning process every few weeks or as needed.
By using this simple method, you can keep your shower floor clean and fresh without harsh chemicals. Enjoy your sparkling clean shower!
