Sometimes you end up making a decision which sounds (and looks) good at the time. Ten years later you're cursing. At least I am.
When we did a renovation to the ensuite bathroom, I chose to put tiles in the shower stall. Big mistake for someone who has trouble scrubbing a flat surface.
The grout, which looked so good in the beginning, is now proving to be a battleground. "Mildew and mold appear to be forever gaining," I exclaim, as I choke on the fumes of the latest and greatest cleaning product. Tools such as this help, but extra force is needed to keep the grout clean.
If I had it to do over again, I would choose a prefabricated shower stall. Either that or bring in daily staff. Yeah, wouldn't that be nice? 🙂
My Mom is having the same issues with her tiled shower.
Have you tried something like Scrubbing Bubbles as a maintenance alternative? Haven’t tried it myself but a thought.
Maybe a less toxic solution would be a homemade shower cleaner like this recipe? http://www.simpleorganizedliving.com/2012/02/01/homemade-shower-cleaner/
