Tell me about it! My boyfriend had a nasty shower situation going on. He would try to clean it, even going so far as using Ajax / Comet type stuff, nothing would touch it.

After researching and stumbling across vingegar:Dawn and baking soda idea, I tried it on his tub. Honest to god, the grime came off like a banana being peeled. At this point, I stopped using commercially available house cleaners. They don't work as well, and are chemically more hazardous. One year later, I still have a cleaning boner from that cleaning session.

Apparently there is something called cleaning vinegar that has 10% acetic acid. Food grade vinegar is only 5%. I only can dream of the grime removal the 10% strength vinegar can accomplish.

My girlfriend and I purchase the 10% vinegar. It’s available in large jugs, too. Can confirm. It, baking soda, and sometimes a little table salt if you need abrasion, works wonders.
