    Just give it a good scrub with bleach remove all the hard stuff.

    Then on a regular basis spray it with bleach and water and just leave it to soak (i just used a 50/50 mix of thick bleach and water). Rinse it down before your next shower.

    I moved into a house before where the shower tiles were horrible. After a few weeks of spraying with bleach a few times a week the grouting was white and tiles clean.

    Just leave the spray bottle in the shower so you can spray it after your morning shower.

    Agreed - vinegar

    Is vinegar good for spraying on and leaving it

    I don't want to be scrubbing

    I just leave it. But I suppose the effectiveness also depends on how soft or hard your water is.

    Vinegar just runs down the wall,

    Your better off using a bleach foamer, you need some bleach to 'dwell' on the area. That means spraying it possibly daily for a week. It will eat through the stains but you need to keep at it over a sustained period of time.

    Its the dwell or the regular bleaching that kills the growth.

    I might go back to bleach /water so

    The bleach ,baking soda and water was good but sprayers constantly blocked

    Anything with the bleach?

    Just water.

    dont go mixing random cleaning chemicals with bleach.
    You can easily create chlorine gas or other harmful gas by mixing bleach with other cleaners and you dont want to go and kill yourself now.

    Every week, Vinegar & a good rub with a cloth removes all hard water stains from our shower doors. No other shop bought product does the same job, at least that I have discovered yet.
