[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 545665, member: 6705"] Sounds like too much dishwashing liquid. Honestly I hate the stuff, even for washing dishes. If you have a Lowe's Home Improvement near you, they carry this stuff called Krud Kutter. A gallon jug lasts me a couple of years. It's expensive but worth it - because it is cut about 1/9 with water. Second to that would be Dollar Tree - they have this stuff called Awesome, and it is. (Hound Dog told me about this stuff and it ROCKS!) Does your shower have a showerhead with a hose? If not - worth the $15. Here's how I do it, but it will depend on your shower. This works on our plastic one downstairs and tile-and-tub upstairs. 1. Wipe tile walls with Soft Scrub. Use a plastic scrubbie pad (the flat green kind) on tough stuff. 2. Still with the Soft Scrub, use a toilet brush on the tub/shower pan (I discovered this while trying to clean the toilet brush, hee hee). 3. Rinse with detachable shower head with lukewarm water. 4. Spray nasty stains with a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and bleach - works especially well on stained grout between tiles. Let sit for 10 minutes while you take a break. 5. Rinse walls again with detachable showerhead only this time with OMG HOT. After the whole thing dries REALLY WELL, if you have grouted tile you need to seal the grout if it wasn't done. They sell spray-on grout seal at Lowe's and Home Depot and probably Ace Hardware. Spray on well, let dry for 24 hours. This will help with staining AND mildew!!! [/QUOTE]
