Please do not buy this contraption. Its essentially useless. I am going to throw mine away. makes me mad every time I see it. It does not provide hot enough steam. I had several through t my life in several countries. Save your money.

the steam is very powerful, it will probably work, I've used it on my shower and it cleans great.

The steamer will certainly HELP break up the old mildew and guke but may NOT completely remove it. After steaming, I would go over the build up with a slightly scratchy pad and a product called "Eliminate" that you can get at Home Depot. Eliminate is similar to muriatic acid so use CAREFULLY - - - it is designed to cut through the white calcium build up that you sometimes see around pots on patios. It also works well to clean glass shower doors but - - - again - - - - wear gloves and don't get it in your eyes! Hope this helps - WO

Unfortunately No!I tried this model on mildew on ceramic tiles in a shower and it did little to help the problem.

My answer would be no though I would ask a plumber. It does not make a 100% seal so any places there is grout there would be a gap. it is made of compressed wood so it might swell in the shower too which would not make an effective seal.

This product has worked very well for us and is made for glass in and out. I will work great for your sliding glass doors. If you are doing only one sliding glass door you might be able to do it with one single kit it will be close. We removed out bath tube and put a full walk-in shower and did a full coating on the inside of the sliding shower doors and even a light coat on the outside. Probably would be the same on both sides the way it goes on. My glass surface was 2 sliding glass shower door 30"each by 68" tall (total 60"W x 68"H). Our shower doors were new so they were easy to prep with the cleaner in step one supplied. If the glass is already being in use the kit comes with a very fine steel wool to use with the cleaner to get the glass super clean before applying the Enduroshield coating. For me both the cleaner and coating were very easy to apply. If I remember right there is a curing time before you can get water on it. Don't remember if it was 12 or 24 hours? This kit is sold in a single bottle kit as well as a double battle kit and I believe they sell even larger quantity kits. I think you will like it. I would clean and coat the aluminum frame as well if I were you it would stop spotting as well. I added a YouTube video showing how to install it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRfvU-j67ww Bob

I have not tried it on the shower door. I did use it on the glass of my front door and it left it clean and streak free. It leaves the surface clean and helps repel water for less water spots.

I don't know why not, on a glass door. If you really want to try a product like this though.That will help clean and repel future soap & water. Just GET THE REAL THING! RainX! Not some silly pretend junk.Just trying to make a buck off the green craze like so many others.

I've tried it on my glass shower doors twice and the rain-x seems to work fine IF I squeegee the doors frequently after showers. Hard water and soap scum does not just run off but it does seem easier to get it off with the rain-x. A lot of work getting the doors clean enough for the rain-x application because if they aren't crystal clean you're wasting your time.

I did the same thing and it stick. It might unstick if that area is wet when in the shower

Mine went into rail. A high bond tape may work for some applications. Given the moisture and cleaning chemicals used in showers I doubt high bond tape would have lasted on my shower door.

Yes that's what I do. Make sure the surface is really flat though. I use the glass shower door. The wall seems to be textured enough that it will hold for awhile but then eventually it will pull down.

No. You would have to install the door without a seal to get it to swing both ways. To my knowledge, shower doors always open out. The door can be installed for left or right operation and could be installed to open in, if that's what you wanted to do. But, it you wanted it to swing in and out, you might have trouble getting it to keep the water from leaking through the space between the door and the opening where you install the door.

I'm not sure, It might, it is kind of like contact paper, but it peels off glass without residue, so maybe - It should work perfectly on the outside of the shower door since it won't get wet. :) Good luck!

My shower is glass with metal frame around it. The metal frame already had space for this magnetic strip. I just replace the old one with this new one. I don't know if this would work for you.

Don't know about on shower doors. Cleans mildew off stucco really well and stays gone. It would probably work. Spray on and leave for a little while, then use scrub brush. Good luck. Might also try CLR for the lime buildup.

As others have noted it does not remove soap scum so much as it prevents it from forming. Get the shower clean and then used once a week it will keep your shower clean. YES it DOES work on the glass and shower door. I use it on both every week and it keeps soap scum from forming there. Does the job VERY well - IF you read the directions and follow them accordingly.

I have very small (one inch) grouted tiles in my back bathroom and it works well on those, but they are very shallow grooves. The steam itself will only loosen surface dirt, and maybe lift some of the deeper stuff. If you have old mildew darkened grout, I'd suggest a foaming mildew cleaner, and bleach or a bleach like spray. Steam cleanings main advantages are a hot greasy dirt cutter, and a no chemical germ killer.

My shower has small ceramic tiles which make for an uneven surface. As a result, the squeegee will not adhere to it so I have it propped in the corner of the bench.

Donna I have used this on grout only...ceramic walls and floor. I've never used it on glass shower doors.
