A professional cleaner has revealed how to get sparkly clean showers using a $4 Kmart dish scrubber.
Sharing her nifty cleaning trick with her almost 500,000 followers on TikTok, Kacie Stephens, from The Big Cleaning Co, said there was no need to “get fancy”.
Instead, the Melbourne-based cleaner says using expensive equipment or harsh chemicals is a waste of time.
Her go-to products are the $4, 2-in-1 Anko branded Dish Brush from Kmart for the scrubbing, teamed with one simple cleaning product.
"Fill it with dishwashing liquid," she said.
"[There’s] no need to get fancy and add anything else."

Kacie's technique
She uses the scourer to clean the grout before switching to the sponge to clean the glass.
She also advised that keeping the scrubber in the shower helps to keep cleaning fuss-free.
Her handy video was so impressive, it racked up more than 351,000 views, with hundreds of cleaning fanatics loving her simple idea.
"Omg I need one," one said.
"Great idea," added another.
"I WANT THIS," commented a third.
Meanwhile, others said they’d already caught on to the shower trick, saying they’d been “doing it for years”, and agreeing dishwashing liquid absolutely worked.
“Isn't it the best? I use it too,” one commented.
“The dishwashing liquid is made for grease and oils," said another.
"It cleans your bathroom amazingly and the floors.
"I will never go back to normal bathroom cleaner."
Does it really work?
While some loved the idea, others questioned whether it was enough for a deep clean.
One person asked whether adding vinegar would give it an extra cleaning boost.
However, Kacie advised against it, saying that dishwashing liquid would do the job just fine.
She said the 2-in-1 brush had a button to release the detergent, which could be watered down if needed.
More top shower cleaning tips
In a separate shower cleaning video, Kacie added her tips for keeping soap scum to a minimum.
“Using a squeegee after you shower will help to keep your shower clean,” she suggested.
“So does using liquid soap, instead of bar soap.
“It’s water-based, not oil-based, so doesn’t stick to every surface.
"Water washes it off easily.”
She added another handy shower cleaning tool was a microfibre cloth to dry everything off.
