My dad came up with a good trick to make the scrubbing easier. He uses his spin mop to scrub with it isn't as good as scrubbing by hand but it makes it easier for him (he just turned 86).
I use 4-6 os of blue dawn dish soap in a 32 oz empty water bottle, fill to the top with vinegar. Replace the cap and cut slits or poke holes in the cap, Give it a mix and them spray it all over the areas to clean, let it hang out for about 1/2 hr. Use a dollar store broom (keep it dedicated to this project so you don't scratch the walls/tub) and brush it clean. Rinse well with water. Repeat as needed.
