As I have mentioned, I clean houses for a living. I have used every cleaner imaginable to clean a shower and get the dreaded soap scum off. Commercial products do not work. What's even more frustrating is the advertising that says it works and the fake proof. Well this recipe works! I've been exclusively using this for a few years now and IT WORKS!
Recipe:
In a spray bottle( recycle from a cleaning product that did not work or get a cheap one from Dollar Tree), mix one part blue liquid dawn with 3 parts white vinegar. It doesn't have to be measured precisely. I usually eyeball it.
Use:
Shake up the bottle (dawn has a tendency to sink to the bottom). Spray, generously, the shower and tub. If the soap scum is bad, let it sit while you clean the rest of the bathroom. I usually let it sit for a few minutes then I get to it. If the soap scum is built up, use a scrub brush to scrub the bad areas. This will loosen the scum and make rinsing easier. Usually a towel or sponge is adequate for general cleaning. Rinse well after scrubbing.
Note: Not all of the soap scum will come off if there is a bad build up. This will remove a significant amount of the scum each time. I don't want you to think that it will dissolve to soap scum at one time. If this is the only cleaner you use, after 3-4 uses you should be rid of the scum all together.
Tip:
Once all of the scum is gone, treat the walls of the shower with rain-x to help prevent the problem. If you have a glass shower door, do the same.
