Things You Will Need
-
Put on your rubber gloves and wet your shower walls.
-
Apply an acid-free soap like MB-3 Soap Film Remover (see Resources) to your marble shower walls. Dilute the soap with 2 parts water and sponge over the surface.
-
Let the cleaning solution sit for about 10 minutes to allow it to break up the soap scum. You should be able to see it working.
-
Scrub the surface in a circular motion to remove the soap scum. After a few minutes, you should see the clean surface of the tile when you wipe away the soap.
-
Rinse the marble with warm water. If you still see areas with soap scum, reapply the soap in the same way.
-
Use a squeegee to wipe the water from the shower walls to prevent the buildup of minerals. You can polish the marble with a dry microfiber cloth (do not use window cleaner) until it has a high sheen again.
