    Have you tried a paste of baking soda and water?

    Cut a grapefruit in half, cover with kosher salt and use as a scrubber.

    Lysol Power Scum cleaner in the blue trigger spray bottle with a Magic Eraser or a scrub brush.

    Wet & forget shower for a slower, no scrub solution. You can use 2x a week to accelerate the cleaning process then once a week to keep it clean.

    I use a bunch of used fabric softener sheets saturated with vinegar. I have also used canola vegetable spray and a green kitchen scrubby. Leaves a thin film slows down build up.

    Have you tried soaking rags in vinegar and sitting it on the track? I seem to remember someone talking about that once in the forum.

    When we had hard water I found a product called Kaboom was great. It turns white when it's been on long enough. Then a little scrubbing and rinse. Hope it works for you!

    Get as much off as you can with a razor blade glass scraper. Then use the other methods. We just regrouted our shower and I was using denatured alcohol to clean up the silicon caulk. I wiped the door with it and it cleaned the soap scum right off. But we didn't have much build up.

    CLR it gets rid of lime scale and mineral deposits--at grocery or Walmart
