Cleaning soap scum w/o harsh chemicals....

[jgreco]

I need ideas on how to clean soap scum off of tiles in my bathroom without using harsh chemicals. Any suggestions?

[juliachilds]

Baking soda should work with a bit of elbow grease. Have you also tried Norwex cloths? They have a great bathroom mit that has a scrub side to it. It just might work. Let me know if you would like to borrow mine to try it before you buy one yourself.

I see they are selling Norwex products at the Home Show this weekend in Calgary. Stop by and see the abodebook site if you go. Booth 411. Just sayin.

OK - may not meet your no harsh chemicals criteria but Zep soap scum cleaner from Home Depot very good. You do need to work in a ventilated area though. Otherwise, I agree with baking soda, elbow grease and vinegar.

Agreed, Zep 'tub and tile' removes everything with little or no effort. Ventilation a must and never mix with other chemicals. This is a staple at our house, reserved only for the most stubborn of stains.

Check this website out for a homemade, eco friendly way to clean soap scum in your shower: http://www.simpleorganizedliving.com...hower-cleaner/

Step #1: Pour any amount of white vinegar into a plastic spray bottle {I started with about 6 oz.}

Step #2: Heat it up in the microwave until very warm. {you do NOT need to reheat it every time you want to clean your showers}

Step #3: Pour the same amount of Dawn dish soap into the spray bottle.

Step #4: Put the top of the spray bottle on and gently shake until they are combined.

That’s it!!

Just 2 simple ingredients and about 5 minutes of your time and you have a very inexpensive, homemade shower cleaner that works wonders on soap scum and smells great too!

NOTE: This cleaner is also great for removing greasy buildup in the kitchen!
