What's the best method for cleaning the shower?
I don't know if this will sound strange, but I clean my shower in the nude prior to taking one. On a cleaning spree, I often leave this task to the end. After scrubbing out the tub, I strip down and wearing only gloves, spray the walls with cleaner and scrub them down. Then, I can direct the spray to rinse it all off. Then, I take a shower.

Viola! Clean house, clean self.

I've tried it other ways, but I always end up getting soaked. FWIW, I have bifold doors closing off the tub and one of those pre-fab enclosures on the walls.

So, what's your method?

4. I get the shower wet and then I spray my
clorox foam all over it. I let it sit for 30 minutes or so. I then go scrub the crap out of it (clothed might I add). Rinse and then spray clorox clean-up on it and rinse. It ensures my shower is totally clean.

7. I have asthma
and too much exposure to cleaning fumes really bothers me. I think your method would asphyxiate me as I don't have a window in the bathroom. I know there are alternative cleaners out there that are less toxic, but I'm not sure about their effectiveness and I know they cost a lot more.

10. It can certainly get to you if you don't have
adequate ventilation. I don't know about alternatives though. Surely there are some.

6. Hmm, I don't like harsh chemicals anywhere near my
delicate parts, if you will. :blush:

Might be why our shower could be cleaner.

13. I wear gloves.
:-)

And, I'm very careful to keep the cleaner off my delicate parts. Anyway, if you have a problem, you can just rinse off. You're naked and the water is right there.

16. Nope, you're not alone
Me too. :blush:

Sometimes I even clean the shower while I'm taking a shower. That's how much I multi-task! Cuts down on the nasty fumes too! ;-)

12. Vinegar in a spray bottle
might do the trick.

18. Wait until your girlfriend gets so disgusted that she has to clean it
because "its just gross. This is way too disgusting. I can't shower in here. Do you have any bleach?"
