Tilex is so disgusting, but what else works? Clorox Cleanup? The grout in my shower is hard to keep up with.

Anyone find grout cleaner that isn't so toxic? One of those vinegar solutions?

Thanks!

Hello, I have MCS so I know what you are talking about. I found a product about 8 years ago on a MCS website. Everyone raved about it. My whole family has been using it the past 7 years and really like it.

You can use it on just about anything anything

Non toxic soap.

website for product information:

http://www.nontoxicsoap.com/index.html

Product guide:

http://www.nontoxicsoap.com/101uses.html


Order from this site. the this site is closed. It's under household products. This company bought the other one out.

IF you decide to try it let me know what you think of it. It really is great for MCS people and everybody.

Good Luck
Fancy

Oh yea, Baking soda is good too.!! Haven't tried with Vinegar, I'll have to do that. I use it when I want a little extra punch with the Botanic Gold.

Baking soda is better & easier than any cleaning product I've ever bought. It makes my white tiles sparkle like nothing else.

It takes a brush or scrub pad. Leave on for 15 minutes then rinse.

Cheap too. 2 lb box @ Wally World $1.06.

Thanks for all the ideas. I'll start with the baking soda.

Map, thanks for the instructions. I wouldn't have known to let it sit 15 min.

Baking soda is great, as others have said. Another great product is Bon Ami.

But the best tip I have for shower cleaning is to buy one of those handheld showerheads. Then you can much more easily wash/rinse the walls of the shower.

This is especially good if you have mobility/pain issues.

And you can then use the handheld showerhead to wash things in your bath tub, like cat litter boxes, dirty trash cans, mini blinds, etc.

For those of you that have those 'plastic' tub surrounds. Careful what you use.

Nothing abrasive,,just soft scrub etc.

'some' cleaners make it brittle,,,actually MOST cleaners do,,and leads to premature cracking.

for SURE not those things that spray the shower clean after use!!!

Ceramic tile and grout is the BEST surround,,prettiest too,,,lots of neat combos to use as a pattern,but it CANT leak.

And seeing those idiots on TV placing tile over sheetrock of ANY kind is a sure fire way to do over.

there is a whole process to installing tile and here is not the place, IF you need that info PM me!!

As for cleaning it,,,I defer to the great advice above form the EXPERT domestic engineers!!!being--just don-

My cat used to jump in with me when cleaning the shower, so I started using Rose's Sweetened Lime Juice to remove limescale and mineral deposits. It got his paws sticky, but he could lick it off no harm done. If we can drink it, it sure is safe.

Lyme is like the flu. You can get it and recover, but you can always get it again.
