Soap scum buildup in shower — Barcelona, Catalonia
A thick, hazy film of soap scum coats shower walls, doors, and fixtures when soap reacts with hard water minerals. Over time it hardens into a stubborn layer that traps mold and bacteria underneath. Household bathroom cleaners can slow the buildup but rarely remove established deposits. A professional deep cleaning service uses alkaline cleaners or steam to dissolve hardened scum, scrubs tile grout lines, and treats glass with a protective coating that resists future buildup.
