Why Do I have To Clean The Shower

Preston, England
July 5, 2018 3:10am CST
Showers should not need so much cleaning. As I do about every three months I just ended up scrubbing down my bathroom shower booth. The plug area blocks up with hair and the walls & floor get sticky from the soap. I would have thought with so much water sluicing through it daily it would be the cleanest part of the house but it seems to be the worst. Given that the only one using my shower is me I feel as if I'm scrubbing me off the unit which makes me feel filthy and horrible. Youtube Mel Brooks parody of the Psycho shower scene Arthur Chappell

This reminds me of the Dilbert cartoon where his colleague says he shouldn't need to change his bath towels because "When I get out of the shower I'm the cleanest thing in my house".

Every time I take a shower, I will clean the bathroom. Because there is a lot of hair.

Not as bad as getting marks off a bath, though.

This is my most hated job. I absolutely loath cleaning the shower recess.

I scrub our shower out every week but have found that if you spray it after each shower with Daily Shower, it helps keep some of the soap scum down on it. Its an ugly job but someone has to do it. lol

That has been my observation - that bath soaps nowadays easily clog up the floor drain so we shifted to liquid body wash and it help a lot. I wonder what ingredient they are presently using on bath soaps that causes the clogging of the floor drain.

@arthurchappell The soap combines with hair falling off from the head and clogs the floor drain. Or it could be that our soap here has a different composition than what you have there in England.

We have 5 people that use the shower (even if technically the baby / almost 2 year old still prefers the bath over a shower)... so I need to clean it every week! a little vinegar helps for a quick in between clean!

And I thought it is only me?!? I clean the whole toilet and bath every other day. The most 2-3x a week. If I am really lazy maybe 2x but I cannot take it

I just put Comet on the shower floor and then do the Chicken Dance while I shower.
