SunFan Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 I searched the topics on Chapala.com but couldn't find anything relevant. I want to clean the scum that has built up on our tiled shower walls. I've tried he commercial sprays at Costco and Home Depot but nothing really seems to do the job well. I believe the tiles are either granite or marble. Any suggestions please? TIA SunFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortstop Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Try "Bring It On Cleaner". Got mine at the Hardware Store next to Farmacia Guadalajara corner of Encarnacion Rosas & the Carretara. South West corner. My shower tiles are the common clay ones found here.

canmex87 Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 We use a mixture of water, liquid soap and vinegar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 If your tiles are marble be very careful. Marble stains easily 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 If your tiles are granite or marble, they may need to be cleaned by something made especially for cleaning stone. I would check with one of the granite/marble specialty stores and ask what they recommend. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cricket Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I too had this problem. Master shower was like that when we purchased our home 10 years ago. I tried everything under the sun including all of the above recommendations. One day I tried Goo be Gone, or Goo Off, (found at Walmart), rough scrubber and a lot of muscle. What was is going to hurt? It worked! I then used granite cleaner, polish and sealer. No more problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha1 Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Be sure to rinse well and keep the kids away from the ammonia while you're working. Mix 1/2 cup of ammonia to a gallon of water. Spray on the stain. Let the ammonia work on the stain for 5 minutes. Scrub, and rinse well to wipe away the soap scum. http://www.housecleaningcentral.com/en/cleaning-tips/bathrooms/soap-scum.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 LIMPIAZULEJO...... bright pink liquid I bought many years ago at the hardware store just west of Telmex in Ajijic (Jara). Spray on... only as much area as you can scrub at a time. Let stand a bit. Scrub with a brush (amount of elbow grease determined by how bad the scum!). Use rubber gloves and don't get on bare skin. Rinse off well. Then buy yourself a shower cleaning "blade"..... bought one at Walmart that's meant for glass shower stalls.... and "blade" off the water (walls and floor) after every shower. By doing this, I've not had to use the product since we moved into this last house 9 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
