WIFE (got that out of the way for you)

have recently redone my shower with 'river rocks' for the floor and having a hard time keeping the black mildew off.

i use tilex, comet & elbow grease but its a constant battle.

anyone have a miracle product they use that makes the job a bit easier?

TIA

(sorry no wife photos)

Get a maid. I have a maid come once a week only to clean bathroom and kitchen. $40 a week. Well worth it.

the rocks are uneven which adds to the problem. getting into the grout around them requires a good stiff-bristle brush.

Will bleach and water make tiles cloudy? I had a cleaner that did this. Just wondering.

For that price you could almost get a haircut at the Boardroom.

Try massive amounts of semen. That stuff cuts through even the toughest shower stains. It'll also kill those worms that come up through the drain.

When the surfaces are dry. Let it sit. Done.

Really?

So when dry, coat with the 80/20 solution, and let that sit until dry? No wiping?

is the grout sealed? there's a sealer that you can buy at lowe's/home depot and pretty easily seal the grout. this is also great for changing the color or refreshing the color of the grout on on older stuff. we had our master bath remodeled about 2 years ago and i sealed all of it myself and have barely needed tilex or anything like that.

ETA:it's a small bottle of sealer and you choose the color and use this applicator thingy

probably not. the rocks themselves get little black mildew spots as well so are you saying the sealer would take care of that too?

maybe you could get some kind of clear sealer for the bubbles/holes in the rocks themselves, not sure. but the sealer for the grout is amaaaaazing.
