HollyDay Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 We moved a year ago to an area that must really have some interesting water. I cannot keep the soap scum and hard water stains off my shower tile or door. I've tried tilex, kaboom, scrubbing bubbles, comet, cornstarch paste, and a bunch of others. Any secrets here??? I really want to get this cleaner.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLisa Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 The only thing I like for the shower is Soft Scrub WITH bleach. I do it while taking a shower. IT doesn't really have fumes. I just squirts some on a sponge and scrub. It works SO good. It's like a cream thing you squirt out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri in MI Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 You can't get it clean? Or you can't keep it clean? I would have tried things you've already mentioned to get it clean: Comet or Scrubbing Bubbles. Once it is clean, I heard car wax on the doors and tile walls helps repel the water & thus the stains. Never tried it, but heard about it lots! Just don't get it on the floor of the shower or someone may fall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkermamaof4 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 there was a recent thread on here about this. It said to heat vinegar, mix it 1:1 with blue dawn dish detergent in a spray bottle, spray it on, let it sit for hours, then brush while rinsing. I tried it and it works wonders. However, my dawn is concentrated and was crazy bubbly! So get regular, not concentrated. Since then or maybe in the same thread I read to use a Magic Eraser. Sure enough, I bought the heavy duty version and I wipe the shower down when done showering. That keeps it clean. Now I have one in the tub too. Before that I always squeegeed the shower. Now I just "dry" it with the Magic Eraser and squeeze and rinse the eraser as needed. My shower is white tile with white grout and a plastic pan.

Susann Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 :iagree: The vinegar/Dawn solution works wonders on hard water scum. I just use the clear Dawn.

QueenCat Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Scrubbing Bubbles Mega Shower... spray it on, come back in 15 minutes & wipe the grime away with a quick, gentle wipe of the cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabeline Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Yup, the Dwan and vinegar work great. If you need a little extra scrubbing power you can sprinkle a little borax and baking or washing soda. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
