How do you eliminate stains in a shower stall?

Answer 1

Most shower stains are either mildew or soap scum (which is a combination of product and lime build up). If I start getting stains in the shower, I use comet to scrub the tub down. Let it sit for a while, and then rinse it out very thoroughly. When you are finished, if the stains are still there, try Lime-A-Way. It also works on your shower head! Black stains on tile are typically caused by mildew, an air-borne fungus that thrives in humid locations. Use a weak concentration of chlorine bleach in a spray bottle, but make sure the shower gets plenty of air when you do that, the chlorine can cause you somee problems if it gets too strong. Use 5% to 10% chlorine bleach in water and spray it directly on the mildew. If it dries out too quickly, you may need to use some tissue to keep it wet longer. Spray the mixture on the tissue and bunch up the wet tissue over the stains. If the stains are white, brown or green or basically any color except black, it might be mineral stains and you'll need to use something like CLR to get the stuff off.

Answer 2

To eliminate stains in a shower stall, you can create a DIY cleaning solution using vinegar and water or use a commercial bathroom cleaner. Apply the solution to the stained areas, let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub with a sponge or brush. Rinse thoroughly with water to remove the cleaner and stains.
