LOL, can I borrow him? Because my Bruce is broken.

Please do not use TSP with pets in the home!

I refuse to let it get so bad that I have to use the ole toothbrush; that is just TOO much work, lol.

I have the greatest shower cleaner ever - I use it all of the time and also use it on my kitchen sink as well. (I have an old house and it works great.)

It is called Shower Power. You used to be able to buy it at the grocery store and I am not sure why they don't sell it anymore.

It has a wonderful fragrance and the spray bottle is easy to use.

I highly recommend this product (and I am not selling it myself - ha ha!)

Scrub Free It comes in an Oxy version and also one with bleach. It used to be made by one company but I think Arm and Hammer may have purchased it now. It is in a yellow bottle. It works well on soap scum.

Not sure what to tell you for long time soap scum build up short of Soft Scrub and good old fashioned Elbow Grease!

However for mold, mildew and keeping your shower clean with minimal work, try Clorox Clean Up and a squeege.

I HATE scrubbing my tub/shower too!

Once you get your shower clean it's easy to keep it that way though.

After every shower: rinse down ALL the soap residue, and use the squeege to get the worst of the water off the walls and sides of tub. Trust me, those extra 2-3 minutes pay off big time later. Using a fan, opening a window or turning on your vent for about 20 minutes helps speed drying time and thus prevents ALOT of the mold from forming. Keep your shower curtain pulled across and as least folds in it as possible, gives less places for mold/mildew to form.

Once every week or two (depending on how much mold you get) just spray the Clorox 2 on everything, even your shower curtain on the inside, open a window or turn on your vent, close the door (you want to keep the pets out and the bleach smell is a bit powerful), and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. Go back in, rinse down everything with hot water, squeegee it down the drain. Again keep your shower curtain pulled across and as least folds in it as possible. Keep fan/vent going or leave window open until totally dry then you can open the door again without fear of pets drinking any standing water left and your tub/shower is now clean as a whistle with NO scrubbing.

I don't have a vent in my bathroom, but I do have a window in the shower itself and I put a fan on top of a cabinet so it blows over the curtain rod and out the window to make drying time faster. About once every few months I do take Soft scrub to the tub only but I don't have to scrub, more like a quick wipe down and rinse.

I am going to make a list of all of these things and take it with me to the store.

I have doors, not a curtain. And there isn't mold on that, just soap scum. The drying it out part would be the hardest. I take showers at night and Bruce takes them in the morning. And there is only a small window, not in the shower. That's probably why it does get so moldy. And we always keep the doors closed so the animals don't get it.......ALWAYS.

This is our only shower and right now our only toilet. We do have another toilet but you have to make sure you hang around after flushing so you can make the water stop running into it. I guess I'm going to have to figure out how to fix that, since he won't.

But I will definitely try one, or more (maybe all) of these ideas.

Even easier! Shower doors dry better and are easier to squeege than a curtain.

Do you have a vent in the bathroom? If not put a fan in there somewhere like I had to. Anything for air circulation. Keeping the bathroom door closed all the time probably isn't helping if you're not doing something else for ventilation too. Just means you'll have to clean more often because you'll have more mold.

I know getting a hubby to squeege and turn a fan on is like pulling teeth, but if nothing else when you get up after he showers you can always squeege then and turn fan on for awhile, it will help. I have to do that with my own hubby.
