What can I do about Soap scum in my tile shower?

Question

My tile shower shower soap scum has hard water minerals in it. I’ve tried the Dawn/vinegar mix, worked great on the chrome fixtures but the stuff in the tile is still like gummy glue. I can almost get it off ONE tile with a magic eraser and lots of elbow grease. Suggestions?

Lime a way!! This stuff works great!! Put it on and leave it for a while when you come back you clean it right off. Good luck!

Krud Kutter. Yes, that's really the name, it's the best cleaner on the planet. I use it for virtually everything. If it's really bad, you will probably have to use a brush or some kind of light scrubby thing the first time. It comes in all kinds of formulas, mold and mildew, tough stuff, window cleaner,and more. I found it at WalMart but you can get it on Amazon.com as well.

Try a razor blade

Krud Kutter or Greased Lightning with a brush attachment in a drill. Sounds like this is a build up problem. Once you get it clean keep spraying daily.

I use Awesome from the Dollar Tree Store plus a little baking soda for grit.

It works for me. Good luck.

Barkeeper's friend. It's a cleanser for aluminum, Stainless steel and other surfaces that can be scratched. I tried everything then after cleaning my kitchen sink I decided to try it and worked great. No hard scrubbing. I used the liquid form, it's creamy, the other is a powder and more work to use. You can find it with the cleansing powders, Ajax, Comet etc.
