It is really none of your business. You don't have to live in it and getting involved will just cause major problems. That is a good rule of thumb with everything in their marriage. Stay out of it!
It is a little strange that one of your other questions says you are only 21...... how do you have a daughter-in-law????

Why are you cleaning their shower? This should be none of your business if she cleans every minute of every day or once a month. Does she work outside the home? Does she have kids? Maybe she is exhausted instead of lazy. Plus, some people (not me) enjoy cleaning while others do not - maybe she is like me and hates to clean and so chooses to do it once a week. And what some people consider clean may be dirty to other more picky people.
Stay out of it.

This could be a toss-up?
First, maybe no one showed/taught her how to clean. Then maybe suggesting a different product to clean the shower may open the door to allow her to ask how do you clean the shower.
BUT...
Second, she may not want your suggestion and she will have to learn on her own.
Once they get their own home, they may keep it much more clean then where they are now because it is theirs. Only time will tell.

You cannot make her better at cleaning! You can encourage her to take pride in her home, show her understanding and love without being judgmental. I'm sure that your son and his wife will not have health problems from a little soap scum, but your love and guidance will help them get through the rough patches better than a scrub pad.

What were you doing cleaning your son and daughter in law's shower? Spying on them? You need to mind your own business. Whether or not their shower gets cleaned is NOT your problem- it's THEIR house, not YOURS, and you need to butt out !!! The last thing I am sure your son wants right now is to have his mother standing over him and telling him how to run his life. Go out and get a life, and find something else to do !!!

Lazy is such a judgmental word ... I assume she and son live in the same abode and if so, there are two people who can do the cleaning.
If you are still determined that your son live in a cleaner house, perhaps you should set a date with him to give him remedial lessons on basic cleaning ... if you ever gave him any lessons to start with.
If it takes two people to begrime a house, it takes two people to clean it ...

I would say , leave your son and his wife to lead their own life. If your son his happy with his wife that´s what matters . Not how she cleans the bathroom. and more than likely it´s your son´s mess. Stay out of their lives and they will be happy together

I'm afraid I have to agree with the other answerers who said to butt out. When my son married, their house was not clean. I kept my mouth shut. Magically, when they bought a new home, they kept it clean from day one. Who knew?

you shouldnt really care much if you dont live with her. but if it bothers you THAT MUCH set a cleaning date with her. or tell her interesting facts about mildew or something, but no matter what don't tell her she sucks at cleaning.
