A really simple mold/soap scum killer without choking on tilex or clorox is

In any spray bottle mix 50% White Vinegar & 50% Water.
Spray on mold anywhere, spray on shower curtains tub sliding shower doors let sit for 1/2 to 1 hour and rinse all the crud away.

hello,
every once in awhile i use some of the really harsh cleaners, especially in the washroom, just to give it that "kill everything" freshness. it gives me peace of mind.

but for light cleaning i do use alot of vinegar. i use the vinegar and water for spraying down the shower and tub, for mirrors, and surface wiping of counter tops, desk, etc.

for washroom tiles, i use pure vinegar and a few drops of dish soap, spritz the tiles and leave... or spritz, let it sit or 10 minutes and scrub the grout.
