    I can't even picture what the shower might have even looked like!

      One cup Dawn, One Cup White Vinegar.

      Spray it on and let it set for 30 minutes. Repeat. Wait another 30 minutes.

      Take your extended scrub brush from Walmart and get after it. Use an extended scrub brush so you can get some leverage on the build-up.

      Best shower cleaner and glass cleaner I have ever tried.

        I just let my butler or maid do it if the butler is busy washing my monster truck.

          Make sure to do a test spot before using any acid based products. I cleaned the tub once with The Works toilet bowl cleaner and it melted the finish. We ended up having to replace it.

              I used some BIOERASE wet wipes last weekend to clean my shower. They actually did a really good job. You can only get them at HEB... I know this because I am the one selling them to HEB! This isn't a sales pitch, but seriously I'm gonna need all ya'll to go buy some at your friendly neighborhood HEB! lol

                We use to do this for a living. Get some detergent 600 and remove any metal drain cover you have. Mix it in a small bucket in about 25% solution 1:4 cleaner to water. Wear some heavy duty rubber gloves and scrub with a brush each grout joint and gently across the tile. If you have natural stone do not let it sit for long. Rinse very well and let dry completely. Do not shower in it for a day or 2 then get some grout sealer and seal every joint in the shower. Follow directions on sealer.

                After doing this cleaning will be much easier and do not use harsh cleaners like kaboom or clr. Just make a light cleaner of dish soap and water and rinse.

                Other caveats are, Do not get the detergent 600 on any metal surface, it will etch it. Do not let it sit in the grout joints for too long. Rinse extremely well. Also, don't forget if you're working on it with shoes on in the shower those shoes probably have acid on them, don't walk on the carpet with them.

                    Are you referring to something like distilled vinegar or is cleaning vinegar an altogether different kind of animal?

                      I use white vinegar from the cooking aisle at Walmart mixed with Dawn.

                      On the one suggestion above, be careful with the Sure Klean 600 - it is designed for brick and mortar.

                        What is your tile made of? Is it porcelain or a natural stone?

                          Just read this recipe for a shower cleaner but haven't tried it yet.
                          1 cup Epson salt
                          1/2 cup Baking Soda
                          1/4 cup Blue Dawn

                            I had to buy the brushes, so that I can try them out. Thanks for posting this.

                              I use barkeeper's friend. You can often use 0000 steel wool with it. Works great on glass. Should work on tile. I would not use it on natural stone.
