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

Scrub the grout with an old toothbrush dipped in meths, leave for a few minutes and then rinse,,viola! works a treat on all grout and has brought our rental floor tiles up a treat, the grout looks brand new!

WOW, I was about to ask this, as we've got 18 bathrooms to look after...
However it says mold......and I think the OP and myself want to know if it's good for grime?

yes, lemon juice if that doesnt work. Gets rid of all the soap scum and water marks on the glass too.

Seal the grout before using for the first time, if you can. It takes ages, painting round each tile, but it does work.

Exit mould is good for mould and grime. You don't have to scrub either, but it is a bit toxic - so open the windows.

Mine stay pretty damn clean with a spray of that shower clean after each shower. Whilst it's all wet, spray it all over, the water is pulled away and any soap scum slides happily down the drain.

Otherwise use Magic Sponges ($2.00 for a pack of 4) from Bunnings. They happily clean grout.

As for cleaning already dirty tiles & mouldy grout the best product for all round use is white vinegar. DON'T add bicarb as it's an alkali & only neutralise's the acetic acid properties of the vinegar. If that won't shift the mould or soap scum we use a product available from builders merchants called TR40 it's a professional grout & tile cleaner, strong acid so be careful & make sure the room is well ventilated if you use it.
