Community showers pose a challenge for daily washing, especially in municipal and school showers. In this article, we'll look at the proposed method as well as the equipment, accessories, and products needed.
Daily washing frequency
First, showers are a common breeding ground for athlete's foot, a fungal infection of the feet. This infection is contracted where many athletes gather, namely in communal showers in swimming pool and gym locker rooms. Participants frequently step on their feet in these showers.
Showers should therefore be cleaned daily, even several times during busy times. Furthermore, using the method below should prevent limescale buildup and make cleaning much easier on a daily basis.
Shower washing product, accessory and equipment
I notice that very often, housekeeping staff neglect to wash them daily. This is simply because the facilities, accessories, and washing equipment do not facilitate proper washing.

Safe for septic tanks and phosphate-free, but not ecological or biological. This product can be found at any good hardware store.
- Scouring cream If you have a good scouring cream such as Sani Clean by Sani Marc or even Emeriel de Diversey, you can use my little trick that has worked for me more than once in this kind of situation. You apply a thin line of the scouring cream on a window sheep and scrub the surface with a brush. Then, rinse and dry with a window scraper.
Shower washing accessories
Atlas Graham Rectangular Utility Brush
I like this solidly constructed brush. It's sold by several distributors of household cleaning products, accessories, and equipment. It's formulated for general use and swivels. It's made of very strong synthetic plastic fiber. You can easily attach this brush to a regular handle.
This brush is also very effective at effectively cleaning the space behind the toilet. It's as if it was formulated for this space! You can also use it to scrub the shower if it has a lot of buildup. Otherwise, you can use the flat mopping system.
Flat wash system.It is worth choosing your flat wash system. We also have
wrote a comprehensive article about this very effective equipment in any building. If you clean your shower very regularly, you can use a simple bathroom cleaning product. Then, you can spray the ceramic surface and even the shower with your product already diluted to the right dosage.
Hydro Foamer: I highly recommend using the Hydro Foamer. It's the best I've ever used. Add your detergent to the container and the dosage will be done using the chosen dilution nozzle and water connected to a hose. The product will then be propelled into foam. The product will therefore have a longer contact time since the product will be foamed and will stick to the surface.
This method is suitable for spraying the product on ceramic walls and floors as well as bathroom fixtures. You can also use this sprayer whenever you need a product to adhere to a vertical surface for a longer contact time.
Working method
PPE required: Nitrile goggles and gloves
Regular washing product: We suggest an eco-friendly bathroom detergent (if your water is hard, don't use a bio-based one) or even a bio-based one if your water is regular.
Product for the first wash in the presence of limescale deposits, rust, scale and limescale deposits. See the recommendations described above.
Spray the surface using the foaming spray containing the chosen washing product. This will also allow you to respect the necessary contact time.
Brush the surface with a flat washing system (regular method) or with a medium-bristled brush for heavy deposits.
Rinse the surface using a hose.
Wipe the surface using a window scraper
Revel in a job well done!
