Re: How do we keep the tiles in the shower free from grime ?
Just put bleach in a spray bottle, spray from top to bottom, leave for about an hour, then rinse off, use it everyday until grout is clean, shouldn`t take too long, then use Shower Sparkle if your in Australia,the last one in the shower sprays the shower. The shower should then stay clean, if not then your dirty bug----

Re: How do we keep the tiles in the shower free from grime ?
A problem that many have I am sure, but is there a specific product that any of you have used that will keep the tiles, and more to the point the grout completely free from grime, in the shower, its starting to look a little brown, despite constant cleaning. People have said pool acid does a good job, but that seems a little dangerous as it is so strong. I appreciate we could use shower gel instead of soap and this would almost cure the problem, but we prefer soap.
Cheers if you have any advice

ok tried and tested yesterday,
I was using that clit bang stuff or whatever it's called here, you know orange and purple bottle...the phone rang as I was in the middle of cleaning, when I returned it had lifted all the grime, off wall and floor tiles!!!
Too easy

thanks for the replies, only tried the bi-carb and white vinegar so far, with mixed results, it has worked to some extent, but hasnt restored grout to the colour it was at first. Any more replies more than welcome.

I found the Ajax Professional mould remover is brilliant in the shower, especially on the grout when it starts to go a bit brown and it really did clean the mould off too.
Have found all the Ajax Professional products (in the purple trigger spray bottles) really good, their kitchen degreaser works well too

To get the scum off the tiles themselves a paste made of salt and white vinegar scrubbed in til the surface feels smooth.

Works a treat on floor tiles as well. Our tenancy agreement actually specifies that we clean the floor tiles with methylated spirit. I had never heard of it and was sceptical. But really works a treat.

As Poppett said in post #5: buy a bottle of methylated spirit (in Woollies in the same aisle as domestos, harpic and all other domestic cleaning products). Then use a sponge for the tiles and a toothbrush for the grouting.

Cloudy Ammonia from Coles $1.54. Also the only thing to get the smoke off the inside of a Slow combustion heater window.
