Buy a spray can of Bang at Dollar tree for cleaning grout and just about anything. It's an amazing cleaner and definitely the best Bang for your buck! I also run my floor steam mop over my shower and even bathtub which definitely makes them sanitized and a lot cleaner.

sometimes the daily sprays can build up, so i got a scrubber attached to a very long adjustable handle/pole that i use sort of like a mop to get the floors & areas i cant reach. (they had them @ walgreens, Libman was the brand i think.) it's great for all kinds of household jobs

Default Cleaning Service

I would suggest getting a cleaning service. My wife and I retired to The Villages and have decided to get "services" to do the work around the home - lawn mowing, lawn fertilization, etc. I have found that there are "reasonable" services for about everything. We have a cleaning service come in about every two weeks - partially for the reason you mention.

Hi, I need someone to come clean. Can you give me a contact number, how much & how often?

Default Shower floors

We bought a "scrub brush" with a long handle at Lowe's (or Home Depot). It looks similar to a push broom. I can still scrub the floors, but I don't have to get down on my hands and knees anymore. We also use Tilex where the floor and walls meet. Finally, we squeegie the tile walls after every shower, which allows us to not have to scrub the tile quite so often. I hope this helps.

Squeegee the glass after each shower. Other than that it never seems to get dirty which is hard to believe. So I spray wet-n-forget once a week and let it do its job. Occasionally wipe down the walls and floor with a non-scratch sponge. Only been in the house since March but so far the shower looks new.

I totally agree. I told the wife that part of our bargain on moving to TV was that I wasn't going to be a field hand for the yard. With our arthritis, hard cleaning of the house wasn't in the cards either. The cost for these services isn't much at all considering the freedom it gives us.

Mold Armor is great stuff. Absolutely try it. I'm the shower cleaner in this house and I give it 10 stars.
