A contract cleaner's trick!

Reply:For Soap Scum: Add about 1/4 cup of dawn (one squirt all the way around) and about 1/2 cup of bleach to about a gallon's worth of pre-drawn hot water in the bathtub. Use a bath brush or (green or blue- NOT STEEL WOOL) scouring pad to clean the tub with- it will MELT the soap scum off the tub/ shower walls.



**remember to keep the room well vetilated, wear gloves, and rinse the tub well when you are done. NEVER EVER MIX this with Ammonia or any chemical containing ammonia.
Reply:Spray bleach solution in the shower all over after every shower. The chlorine breaks down the organic deposits and the shower is ALWAYS clean. No need for those silly and expensive shower cleaning sprays.
