How to Clean Shower Floor Scum

After multiple showers the flooring can get rather scummy, especially if you have a job that requires you to work outside. The dirt from your body can sit on the floor of your shower and remain there and accumulate with all of the soap's residue. Eventually you will need to clean the shower floor since it will get dirty and scummy. There are several items you can use to clean the scum from the floor of your shower, some of which are standard household items.

Instructions

1

Sprinkle baking soda onto a wet sponge. Scrub with the sponge In the areas that have scum on the floor of the shower. Then rinse the flooring.

2

Spray mold and mildew remover for heavier scummy shower floors. Use the Tilex brand, which will need to sit on the scum for at least 10 minutes. Get a scrub brush and scrub the entire flooring. You may also be able to use a rag to remove the scum by wiping down the shower floor. Mold and mildew remover is capable of removing much of the scum without much scrubbing.

3

Rinse down the mold and mildew remover from the shower floor. You should see a lot of dirt flowing down toward the drain as well as a scum-free shower floor.

4

Spray mold and mildew remover into the corners of the shower floor. These can be very hard-to-reach areas and simply spraying the remover can clean off the scum. If you still see or feel scum then use an old toothbrush to clean the shower floor corners of scum.

5

Repeat as needed. If you used baking soda or mold and mildew remover and you see that there are still scummy areas, then target those specific areas and repeat the task. With baking soda make sure to put a little more on the sponge to clean the areas and with the remover let it sit for a few minutes longer. Then rinse down the shower floor and wait for it to dry.
