OK - don't laugh! (LOL). Single guy here! Never cleaned the tub or shower walls (10 months). What is the recommended type of product to use? I figure a soft-scrub product and nothing abrasive? I did not see a manual or guide in the HUG or HOM sections. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Soft scrub works well in the shower and I have used Ducky for water spotting. Most of the time dry camping, I fill the tanks with soft water from the house which helps avoid spotting but when using city water I try to wipe the shower down after use to help with the hard water issues. I think I recall someone here suggesting softener cloths (clothes drying) but then my memory is suspect sometimes.

We've used a variety of non scrub products and they are all about the same. We maintain it daily with a squeegee after each shower then use one of those after shower sprays. I also wipe down the frame of the shower stall after each use. After 8 years it looks as good as new. Different soaps make it hard to keep your shower clean. The commercial for Dove soap led us to believe the soap scum rinsed off better than others so we use Dove. I think they're right!

DocFather,
If you've got a lot of scum built up on the walls, and it's not coming off, try bounce dryer sheets. Dampen and wipe. Then rinse and clean with conventional cleaners. I've also had great success with Dawn mixed with vinegar and sometimes add hydrogen peroxide.

Kevlar undies might be a good thing, too.

DW read somewhere that bar soap = more soap scum, because of the binders they use. So we switched to body wash, which believe or not actually helped. Here on the forum someone suggested Clean Shower. Works like a charm and even easy enough for me to remember to do.

Run your fingers over the dry surface, particularly near the bottom. If it feels smooth and slick, it's working. If it feels gritty and your finger drags, not so much.
