Should you wash your shower before or after use: the experts' answer

When it comes to cleaning, efficiency always comes first. Of course, everyone wants perfect results, but you want to use methods that also save time and don't require too much effort.

If not cleaned regularly, a shower stall can become a hotbed of fungal spores, mold, and limescale. Experts told us how to properly clean the shower - before or after use.

The debate over whether to clean the shower before or after use touches on important aspects such as convenience, hygiene, and safety.

If you shower before you clean, there are a few things to consider. The steam and heat from the water can help soften dirt and soap scum, making it easier to clean the surface without having to scrub too vigorously. Additionally, removing excess moisture and soap scum immediately after showering helps prevent mold and fungal spores from growing.

But depending on what products you use, it's impossible to avoid exposure to chemical fumes. Of course, you may sweat during the cleaning process, and sweating right after a shower is not a good idea.

Cleaning your shower before you use it will make for a great climax - what better way to get tired and sweaty and plunge into a refreshing stream of water. If your shower stall has accumulated a lot of dirt or mold, you may not want to step in without cleaning it first. And if you get sweaty or a little dirty during the cleaning process, you can rinse it off immediately without worrying about ruining your perfectly washed hair.

On the other hand, you run the risk of not completely washing away the chemical residues from cleaning, which can mix with the heat and steam from the shower, and you will start inhaling toxic fumes.

Ultimately, there is no definitive answer to the question of when to shower. The choice should be made depending on personal preferences, cleaning habits and other nuances, such as plans for the day.
