I have also tried just about everything...bleach, Dawn, Scrubbing Bubbles....all getting on my hands and knees scrubbing with a stiff brush for what seemed like forever. I have a huge container of Kirkland Bathroom and Toilet Bowl Cleaner that I got from Costco. It probably worked the best but I wasn't overly impressed with the results. That's why I'm asking about the exact brand that worked for you. And how long you left it on.
Another issue I'm having is that my shower enclosure seems to have been installed in sections. And where the sections meet, there is black algae or mold growing. Its impossible to reach even using a brush. I'm trying to spray chemicals (bleach products) into the cracks but this seems like a design flaw. Wondering if anyone else is noticing that issue.

Anywhere there is a join in these older fiberglass shower units you will get some build up. Thankfully, mine is not black mildew, mine seems to go pink. I have a small brush shaped like a one knuckle knuckle duster (is that what they are called?), there is room to put your fingers through the opening, it has the name Lysol and it's called "Grab Me I Scrub & Scrape". I have no idea where I picked it up, but I usually only shop at Publix, Lowes or Home Depot, so you might try them.
Nothing really works, and I suppose at some time I will break down and put the new acrylic shower in, but I hate to spend $4 - 6,000 on a shower enclosure. I'm hoping some resourceful person will realize how much money they could make if the price was more affordable.
