Also hes paying me for it lol

Answer 1

I would use either Ajax,Comet or soft scrub with bleach...

Answer 2

My favorite way is to use a Black & Decker Scum Buster with the blue bathroom cleaning pad and Soft Scrub cleanser. Also had good luck with the Mr. Clean magic erasers...would use the one for textured surfaces since they are a bit tougher.

I would avoid using bleach (or very much of it) on any kind of regular basis as it will eventually pit and damage the finish of your shower...especially if it's a cast iron tub with porcelin coating a glazing.

Once it's all clean, let the shower/tub COMPLETELY dry and then wax it with Nu Finish car wax (just follow the directions). If you will repeat this process about once a year the shower will wipe clean very quickly and easily. However, the surfaces will be extra slippery when wet, so you might not want to do the very bottom/floor of the tub or shower.

I have also used the automatic shower cleaners that spray down the shower after every use. It worked pretty well and limited my scrubbing to about once every six weeks or so. You just can't use those if there are brass (gold colored) plumbing fixtures...I miss that thing!

Answer 3

I use 50/50 bleach and water... It disenfects deodorizes and it's cheap ! Just be sure to open a window or turn on the fan in the bath.. Spray it on and let it sit for 10 min-1/2 hour.. You can also turn off toilet water valve and pour 1-2 cups of bleach into the toilet bowl let that sit and swirl/flush.. Spray the bowl/seat(s) w/ bleach.. That will KILL everything that may be on the toilet/sink.. It also might be a good idea to run the toothbrushes/cup through the dishwasher or remove from the bathroom or replace all together.. GROSS ! If that still doesn't work.. Get a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and charge double... Good luck
