    Hmm, that sounds easy... I HATE scrubbing the shower with a brush to get the scum off.

    NEVER buying shower cleaner again.
    I did have to scrub but that's due to the state our shower was in, I also did 2 lots as our grout was HORRID and no matter what I had tried it hadn't worked.

    This cleaned the grout AND the tiles, doing this once a week would mean no scrubbing, just spray, leave, rinse & wipe!

    The tiles look white not off white/grey!

    Do you think this would work for normal floor tiles (living room)?

    I just did the stove top (only left it 15min while i did the dishes) and it wiped off brilliantly.
    So much so i just took the oven door off, took it outside and sprayed both inside & out and aimed it between the THREE pieces of glass (i HATE this oven door) i willhose it off outside then wipe it down and see how i go.
    Aldos sprayed the base of the oven to see how we go there.

    Think this is going to be my new all purpose cleaner

    I love that so many people are having fun with it. Saw another great tip for this one. Use a dishwashing scrubber (you know the scourers that can dispense dishwashing liquid. But fill the handle with this concoction and go over it when you are in the shower. Brilliant.

    Just in time, I have had enough of cleaning today so the bathrooms are being done tomorrow. I will be trying this as I noticed when I let sun into the bathroom yesterday that the girls bath has ring that needs scrubbing, or shall I say no scrubbing now

    Just cleaned my microwave with this (you know when you forget to look at the roof of the microwave ) and it's sparkling.
    Just sprayed a couple of shelves in the fridge going to leave them then rinse them off so my nice glass shelves sparkle again... seems someone spilt cordial and hid it
    Even worse is we haven't had cordial in the house in over a month... how did i not see it ???

    This stuff rocks! Just cleaned the shower and it's looking beautiful again My only regret is deciding to rinse it while I was actually having a shower - I froze my little tooshie off while squirting the shower instead of myself. Tomorrow I shall tackle the tub and the oven, because you don't need to be naked to clean those (unless DD is napping and DH is watching ).

    PS. ZF you've just reminded me to check the roof of the microwave!

    The vinegar helps bind it, but soap scum is deposits of fats and oils from the soap, your hair, your skin and what does dish detergent do? Breaks down fats and oils. I used to just wash my shower and bath with plain detergent.

    Another trick I found for getting off stubborn build up on glass (in your husbands shower that you've ignored for 2 years but have to clean now you're moving house) is to use a glass or ceramic scraper (a razor blade) flat against the glass with detergent and it slides right off.

    The vinegar is an acid that breaks down any dirt. So it comes off easy. The soap makes the vinegar stick to surfaces so after the two hour "soak" it wipes off easy. And I mean real easy.

    Dishwashing detergent is good, even shampoo works a treat but this is a lot easier. And if you choose wisely with detergents its not harmful for the environment either.

    Going to give this a go this weekend. I found an old, old bottle of shampoo in the cupboard so will use that.

    I gave it a shot in in my microwave. I sprayed it on and left it for about half an hour. By the time I got back to it the dirt was practically dropping off! It wiped off so easily and it all looked sparkly with no scrubbing at all - woohoo! Worked fantastically for my oven too. It's the first time I've been able to see through my oven door since we moved in almost 10 years ago . No oven cleaner has been able to do that!!
