Cleaning the shower can be a literal pain. If you have mobility challenges, shower sanitization can prove even more difficult, especially if you struggle with reaching or bending. Of course, we found the solution to your shower cleaning problems — for a reasonable $20. Enter: the Wet & Forget shower cleaner spray, a weekly shower treatment that disappears mildew and scum — no scrubbing needed. Loved by folks who simply hate cleaning their shower but also those with chronic pain or other mobility challenges, the handy spray transforms baked-on build-up to ensure your shower stays sparkling between cleanings. “...It sounded too good to be true. It wasn’t,” a reviewer in their 80s wrote, calling the spray “a remarkable cleaning product for an old-timer.”
This cleaner epitomizes the phrase “work smarter, not harder.” It’s designed to dissolve soap scum, debris and body oils over 8-12 hours. “Easy as pie, yes — spray and walk away,” one wrote.
According to the brand, the “magic” is in the customized combination of cleaning agents that work in tandem to target soap-related buildup, along with the oils that accumulate from the human body. All you need to do is spray it, let the cleaning agents marinate for 8-12 hours, then wash it away with hot water. For more serious messes, you may need to spray, wait and wash a couple of times.
Bleach- and ammonia-free, the cleaner is said to have no noxious smells, whether you grab it in vanilla or fresh clean scent, meaning it’s safe to use without extra ventilation. The solution comes in a 64-ounce jug and a little goes a long way — so long in fact that you really don’t even have to buy it on repeat throughout the year.
Whether you use it on metal, glass or tile, the spray takes the rubbing and scrubbing out of shower cleaning, loosening up stains and build-up, allow you to simply flush it away with shower water. In large, reviewers say it makes an unrewarding job so much easier, especially for those living with “debilitating pain.” ”...I don’t have to push myself to clean my shower because this does all the work for me,” a reviewer with chronic pain wrote. “I love it so much and will forever be repurchasing.”
“Definitely the easiest way I’ve found to clean my shower,” another wrote. “Second application I saw the best result all the deep grime had broke apart and chunks of build up were coming off as well as all floor stains had been completely removed.”
If you’ve been “pulling your hair out” trying everything to nix the mildew, this may be the answer to your prayers.
″...This product has saved my LIFE and kept my sanity back down on earth,” another said. “The appearance of our glass is crystal clear now!”
A reviewer in their 80s whose “tub and tiled shower walls were pretty nasty after months of neglect,” said after just three applications of the spray, “there remain a few light stains in a corner joint, but the rest of the tub and shower are clean as a whistle.”
Another deems the spray “liquid sorcery” that “couldn’t be easier to use.” “This magic in a bottle cleaned everything without scrubbing of any kind - including the stubborn spots that build up on the glass doors,” they wrote. ”...It beats the heck out of scrubbing weekly & drying the glass doors daily.”

“It actually works! I ordered this over a year ago but just now used it for the first time. My shower had gotten really rusty but it had crept up on me and I am a master procrastinator so if has to reach the point of A: I can’t stand this anymore and B: family is coming for Thanksgiving and I’d be embarrassed. I sprayed it on a dry shower enclosure last night. This morning I started rinsing it off. No serious scrubbing needed, just a good wipe down with a cloth. There are a few spots that will need an additional treatment tonight but mostly my shower stall is stain free and beautiful. I am truly impressed and thrilled. With previous products I had to scrub endlessly with a netted sponge to make any progress. It was very time consuming and unhealthy too bee in the enclosure with fumes all that time. This truly was a spray it down and forget it overnight. I rarely write reviews and usually assume the positive ones are fake but I hope anyone who is considering this product will appreciate my review.” — Flower Girl
“Cleaning when you are in debilitating pain is awful. Cleaning your bathroom while you are in debilitating pain, horrifying. This helps so much. Like my shower is clean, I don’t have to push myself to clean my shower because this does all the work for me. I love it so much and will forever be repurchasing it. I low key wish that it came in a lavender scent though.” — Sophie Milagros
“This worked much better than expected. I had buildup from a while back since I broke my back and was not able to clean my shower. Well, it looked pretty good after one application. I will do one more to get off any residue I missed, but can live with the way it did the first time. I am very pleased with the way it took off the built-up soap scum.” — Bonnie Long
“If I could give this product 100 stars, I would! I’m embarrassed to say that my shower is absolutely gross. I have tried everything to get the grime and stains out, spending hours scrubbing it with anything I could find that promised results. I came across the product and figured, what’s one more thing to try? I sprayed it down really well before I went to bed and let it sit overnight. The smell is actually nice, like a boozy vanilla scent. Definitely not overwhelming at all. The next morning, when I sprayed it with the shower head, all the gunk started coming off so easily! It was almost 100% funk free AFTER ONE APPLICATION!!! I had to use it a couple of times, but I’m happy to say that it looks like I spent money on a whole new shower. This stuff works miracles!!! I did have to scrub a few difficult spots, but it was still the easiest time I’ve ever had cleaning the shower. I cannot recommend this product enough!!” — Jennifer Simon
“...Scrub no more! This magic in a bottle cleaned everything without scrubbing of any kind - including the stubborn spots that build up on the glass doors. I sprayed the whole shower, did a few things around the house, and returned 15 mins later to rinse. Everything looks like new! Zero harsh chemical smell, though I had the window cracked since it’s still warm outside. Product couldn’t be easier to use. Spray, walk away, return a bit later, rinse, and voila! It beats the heck out of scrubbing weekly & drying the glass doors daily. Buy it this stuff! It’s worth every penny! I will still do weekly spraying with bleach, but will add this to the monthly routine for a deeper (easier clean). Great product. Great company. Couldn’t recommend more highly!” —Jules [This review has been condesnsed for length, read the whole thing here.]
