Cleaning Shower Floor

Submitted by: The Dollar Stretcher  04/13/2009 10:55 AM
 
I struggled for years with a textured fiberglass shower floor. Here's the two-step solution that worked for me:

Step 1: Get a box of Mule Team Borax and a plastic dish scrubber (the mesh ball kind). Shake a layer of Borax across the shower floor, sprinkle with enough water to make a paste, and scrub with the dish scrubber. If it's really bad, let the paste sit for 10 minutes first. Once done scrubbing, rinse and repeat as needed.

Step 2: Stop using bar soap! Switch to a liquid and you will never have a soap scum problem again. I didn't believe it until I tried it, and it works!

I have found that if I cover the drain and fill the shower with water to the lip of the shower door, just before it runs over and add Greased Lightening liquid to the water while your filling it. Let it sit for a short while. Take a toilet brush to scrub it. It will come clean and you don't have to usee a lot of elbow grease to do it. It cleans up pretty easy.

Also apple cider vinegar. Fill tub with hot water and a little apple cider vinegar and it will help keep it clean. Also if you bath in it, it helps keep your skin soft.
