While a dirty shower caddy may seem like nothing more than a minor inconvenience, the particles found on it can transfer onto and stain items resting in the caddy. Luckily, a homemade solution can be used to thoroughly remove these particles as well as odors found on the caddy.
Things You Will Need
-
Remove all soaps, shampoos and other items from the metal shower caddy.
-
Place the shower caddy inside a clean, empty, stoppered tub or sink.
-
Pour ½ cup baking soda and approximately 2 to 3 cups of vinegar into the tub or sink.
-
Fill the sink or tub with enough water that the shower caddy is submerged. Soak the caddy in the water, vinegar and baking soda solution for roughly 30 minutes.
-
Remove the caddy from the solution and dip the sponge into the solution to saturate it.
-
Wipe the caddy thoroughly with the sponge to remove any remaining dirt and particles and rinse it in clear, warm water.
-
Dry the caddy thoroughly with a soft cloth to avoid the development of rust.

- However, rust, fingerprints and other particles can appear on these caddies due to everyday use.
