Get Rid of Shower Scum
Slice one lemon in half and dip it in a bowl of kosher salt, which adds an abrasive scrub to the already-powerful juices, to attack stubborn scum in the shower. Scrub the glass shower door and set it aside for a few minutes while the lemon works its magic. Say goodbye to scum by rinsing with water.
