A spray bottle filled with a 4 to 1 mix of water and white vinegar, with a couple of drops of DAWN dishwashing liquid once a week. Spray on, let it sit for a few minutes, and wash off with a Mr. Clean magic dirt eraser.

I use a deck brush, long handle you can get at Home Depot with Comet or Spic and span from Ace. Does a perfect job.

One thing you may want to consider is how to keep the area dry after showering. When we had tile in our Roman shower, the grout lines started turning color. The grout cleaning company we used suggested using a fan to dry the shower after use. We would put a small fan on the floor when done with showers and let it run so the interior would dry fairly quickly.

Ultimately we had the tiles removed and had Jetta stone installed. Still has to be cleaned and methods suggested in previous posts work well, it's just easier for me with a solid surface instead of tile and grout.

I use that "KaBOOM" shower cleaner and a soft brush, rinse with water.

No different cleaning a roman shower than it is any other, just use plenty of elbow grease

I have very little trouble cleaning my Roman Shower. We use body wash rather than bar SOAP SINCE BAR SOAP LEAVES residue and body soap does not. I also leave my fan run for at least 30 mins after each shower. When I need to clean it I just spray a bleach scrub on and if there are bad spots I used a deck scrubber. It takes no more than 5 mins.

We remove the standing water in ours with one of those 'Sham-wow' type cloths and then leave a fan running for a few minutes until dry. Removes any soap residue at the same time. No grout discoloration since we moved in two years ago.

Ka Boom really gets off the soap scum. I feel the tile after, and if feels real smooth, then all the soap is off.

Vinegar

We asked this very question of the builder .His response was make sure you rinse the walls thouroughly after each shower.We bought a nice shower head that has a hose so we can rinse the entire shower . Then he said once a week use scrubbing bubbles on it and rinse.We've been in our new house since june and haven't had any problems.

We use a squeegee on the vertical tiles/glass block and run the exhaust fan to help dry the floor after every shower. It only takes a couple of mins. Vinegar and water with a drop or two of Dawn for cleaning, so far so good!

I use rubbing alcohol and long brush if needed I always spray wax on walls and rub dry after cleaning make next cleaning easy. Alcohol is good for bathrooms and it sanitizes done out of there.

The soap scum is from cleaning products not body soap. You need a hand held shower head to properly rinse the walls and floor after cleaning. After showering squeegee the walls and dry with towel. I also run a fan as there is no window in the bathroom.

The guy who installed our tile told me to use water and vinegar to keep mold and mildew away. my wife ignores my suggestions and can spend one hour alone cleaning our master bath. She is careful not to damage the grout and yes she claims the secret is elbow grease
What you goin to do who you goin to complain to GEEEZZZZZ
