Funny you should ask....I had to deal with this problem about a week ago.
I found that a product called "CLR" worked best. Of course before I tried that I tried about 5 other "Miracle" cleansers and scrubbed like crazy. You should be able to pick it up at Home Depot for about $5.00.

Hi, I am a fanatic about my laundry. What I do is wash everything in cold water. I rinse everything twice. Now for soap scum, white vinegar will cut the soap scum. Also fabric softener, but you don't want to add too much because eventually your clothing will get limp because of over fabric softening. Other things that may cause soap scum, is that you have very soft water, which doesn't require as much soap. Some soap even is just more sudsy than others. Another thing that may cause soap scum is filling your machine too full of clothing. Hope this helps.

There are many commercial cleaners available for shower scum. The secret is to apply and give the product time to dissolve scum. Reapplications may be necessary for severe buildup. Janitorial supply stores carry strong, alkaline degreasers for oily, soap scum removal. Automatic dishwasher detergent works well as a degreaser. Mix about ¾-cup in a bucker of water. Sponge solution on and let set 15 minutes. Keep applying to keep surfaces wet, in order to soak off scum. Scrub with a white nylon-backed scrubbie. Repeat applications may be necessary to removal all scum. Rinse and dry. Baking soda and water paste make an effective scum remover. Spraying hot white vinegar on walls is also effective on scum. For severe mineral deposits, there are products available to remove calcium, lime, or rust.
Whatever cleaner you decide to use, give the product or solution time to dissolve and degrease shower walls. Repeat applications and white scrubbie may be necessary. Daily maintenance and a weekly cleaning should minimize problems with soap scum and mineral deposits.
