Default Cool shower/tub cleaning idea!

I have a fiberglass shower/tub. I really think a man designed fiberglass showers and tubs. No woman in her right mind would design a shower/tub with lots of groves that creates more work while cleaning. It also is that fake tile look so there is the grove between the tiles. We have hard water here and the stains are hard to remove.

I went to the dollar store to get some cleaning stuff and saw a dish scrubber that you put soap in. I bought it to use for cleaning the bathroom as the tub exhausted me. Oh, man, it was so much easier to use to clean with. I saved time and energy by using it.

New rule in my house - I am leaving it in the shower and everyone has to use it after they shower. It will save me so much time and energy.

buy a squeegy. in just a second most of the water will be wiped away. i trained hubby and the kids.

also if you use that clear shower spray...the type you are supposed to just spray and leave...but spray it on micro fiber cloth and give a light wipe down after each shower..it will stay sparking. awesome for the glass doors.

I never thought of trying a squeegy as it's that fake tile. That's a good idea. I'll have to back to the dollar store and get one.

This sounds really weird but it also works. You can take car polish and polish the fiberglass once you are done cleaning it. It helps with the hard water stains. Once I am fully recuped from this flare, I will be doing that again.

Used the shower spray last year and it made the bottom of my tub really slippery-- ended up falling and screwing up my knee. My new solution -- I have someone come in clean for two times a month.

yep barb, that stuff just sprayed, same with the scrubbing bubbles automatic sprayer...very slick and dangerous. but since i had stuff leftover, i thought i'd see if it worked with a light rub down. yup. plus i LOVE micro fiber cloths.

boy howdy would i love to have someone clean. but since i'm a clean freak, i'd probably clean first.
