I have a swifter dust mopit can pivot , and I use it. I can stand up while cleaning it...I spray the whole shower down and wait 15-20 minutes and then go back with the swifter and wipe down and then rinse using the handheld shower head...I find I can use my swifter for a few things and saves my back ...

The easiest way I have found to clean the tub and shower is, after showering, spray Tilex in the tub and shower. Shut the door and leave the room, then go back within 15 - 30 minutes. Rinse the tub and shower using the showerhead and I don't even have to scrub or bend. I do this a couple of times a week.

I suffer from back pain daily and have found the best way to scrub the bathtub is to use Dow scrubbing bubbles or even better yet for my hubby to scrub the tub for me. That is more effective than anything I have tried before, LOL.
