From the scientist who makes Scum Bum
I'm Amy. I have a PhD in astrophysics, and I make Scum Bum.
That haze is mineral buildup. It's not dirt, so scrubbing harder and switching cleaners never touched it. Minerals don't respond to force. They respond to the right chemistry and a little time.
Spray Scum Bum on DRY glass. Walk away about 15 minutes, or up to 20 for years of buildup. Then a light scrub and rinse. Really heavy buildup can take two rounds.
“I was ready to just replace it.”

Why it never comes clean
That cloudy film isn't dirt.
It's layer after layer of hard-water minerals and soap scum. Every shower leaves a little more behind, and it dries into a rock-hard crust.
Your regular cleaner slides right over it.
That's why you scrub like crazy and it still looks cloudy.
Tried vinegar?
Vinegar can't do it.
Vinegar only handles one kind of buildup. Your glass has several, stacked on top of each other. Scum Bum is made to break down all of them.

The method
Stop scrubbing harder. Start using the right cleaner.
Spray on dry glass
Water dilutes it. Dry glass lets it go to work at full strength.
Walk away 15 minutes
Let the cleaner do the heavy lifting while it dissolves the minerals.
Light scrub
Small circles with a scrub sponge, working top to bottom in an S pattern.
Feel the glide
When the sponge starts gliding smoothly, that's the moment the buildup is gone.
Rinse or wipe dry
So nothing re-hardens on your freshly cleaned glass.
Concentrate
One bottle. Eight refills.
=
Mix 1 part Scum Bum with 3 parts water in the included spray bottle. The 32 oz concentrate fills it eight times.

What customers say
Spot free in 15 minutes, customers say.
Tried it on the front storm door that was covered with hard water spots. I am no longer on my wife's "list". It worked better than I hoped.
Kyle J. · Scum Bum customer
A friend's old fiberglass shower, a discolored floor pan, and a 20 minute soak with Scum Bum. My friend couldn't believe it. The shower floor is no longer discolored and looks almost new.
Scum Bum customer
I just received this product; we have very hard water. My shower doors were spot free & gleaming within 15 minutes!

Questions
Will it scratch my glass?
No. Scum Bum dissolves the buildup so you only need a light scrub with a non-scratch scrub sponge. Skip steel wool and razor blades.
What can't I use it on?
Don't use it on unsealed natural stone like marble or travertine, or on dark colored grout. It's safe on glass, tile, light colored grout, tubs, sinks, chrome and toilets.
My buildup is really bad. Will it work?
Give heavy buildup the full 15 minutes, or up to 20, before you scrub. Really thick layers can take a second round.
How long does one bottle last?
The 32 oz concentrate makes 8 full spray bottles (mix 1 part Scum Bum to 3 parts water). How long that lasts depends on your home. The more bathrooms and shower glass you clean, the faster you'll go through it. That's why you can stock up on a 6 or 12 month supply and save.
What does it smell like?
A sweet lime scent. Every spray bottle now comes with our new foaming sprayer, which keeps more of the cleaner on the surface and less in the air.
