So What Happened?

Thanks to everyone for your answers! I was expecting to read a lot of answers suggesting Clorox/bleach, tilex, etc. I wasn't expecting the vinegar & blue Dawn, so I tried it because the strong smell of heavy duty cleaners gets to me. The vinegar & Dawn works pretty well! Of course, I am not against using Clorox & other cleaners, but I am glad that I can use vinegar/Dawn. I know that Ajax or Comet & other cleaners can work well, too, & of course bleach.
Thanks again to all!!!

Equal parts Dawn and white vinegar in a spray bottle (you can dilute it with water). Spray on (leave on for 15 minutes or more for stubborn areas), wipe and rinse away.

Ditto on the Dawn and white vinegar.

Instead of a spray bottle, I use a dish scrubber-the kind that has a sponge on the end of a hollow tube. I fill it up with the dawn and vinegar, and every time I shower I wash down one wall while I'm in there. It only takes a minute, and my shower always looks clean. :)

I use a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and blue Dawn dishsoap in a spray bottle. Spray it on, let it sit for a few minutes and wipe off all the buildup with a cloth. If you have a lot of buildup, it might take some scrubbing to get back to a clean start, but after that it doesn't take work.

White vinegar for shower doors. Baking soda, vinegar, and elbow grease for tub.

I find the best cleaner for the tub is cheap shampoo. Smear it on. Let it sit overnight. Wet it and lightly scrub. My tub sparkles with little effort.

I asked recently and among the products recommended, besides elbow grease were scrubbing bubbles, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, something called Tub & Tile, and a number of DEP products.

Best,
