I didn't even think about the hot water bicarb vinegar combo for drains. Should have seeing as that's all I use here (with the exception of the odd gumption application when necessary). Thanks girls.
As for soap scum build up. I used gumption (not chemical free I know) because my usual bag of tricks didn't work. After that I stopped using soap and now exclusively use shower gel. It is a little more exxy but I buy large 1L containers when on special or online from grocery run etc. I also use cheap shower puff thingys from the reject shop/red dot so literally one pump is plenty for an adult (and my DH is very tall lol). If you had kids i guess you could teach them only 1 squirt and have a different coloured puff for each member of the family. Since changing to shower gel, i don't get the build up and just spray and wipe with vinegar and water in my usual clean. My mum doesn't use soap either and doesn't get the build up.
