How to Prevent Mold and Scale from Forming on a Shower Stall?

The shower, especially in small apartments, is often the place where mold appears. On top of that, there's still that scale! I was sick of scrubbing tiles and glass, so I looked for a way to save the time I was spending cleaning the shower. This method for mold in the shower works best. It also works on limescale from the water!

• 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide
• 1/2 cup denatured alcohol
• 1 teaspoon dishwashing liquid
• 1 teaspoon dishwasher rinse aid
• 3 cups of water

Mix all the ingredients, pour into a container with a sprayer and regularly spray the entire shower stall. There is no need to rinse it or wipe it down. Just spray the tiles, fixtures and glass from the cabin and leave it like that.
