1. Put on old clothes and shoes.

2. 

   Fill a spray bottle with a solution of half liquid household bleach and half warm water.

3. 

   Turn the bottle nozzle to get a stream instead of a mist.

   Allow saturated grout to sit for 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips & Warnings

• This solution will bleach most stains, including mildew, but it won't remove crud - for that you've got to scrub.
• Household bleach is caustic at this concentration; you may want to wear gloves. A shower cap won't hurt either.
• Don't use this on cement grout, which is porous and can be broken down by repeated contact with bleach.

on 6/24/2008 I tried Mr. Clean Magic erasers, the Kaboom, and the easy off spray, none of them works. The easyest and cheapest way to do is with bleach and toile paper. I wet the shower wall first, then put toile paper all over the wall, then spray them with bleach. I wait 15 minutes, and rinse off with warm water. But the bleach will make you sick, so watch out.

on 9/15/2006 I own my own cleaning business, and the two things I've found that work the best without having to scrub are Mr. Clean Magic erasers or Kaboom for bathrooms. With the Kaboom spray on, wait about two - three minutes, then just wipe away. Easy as pie!

on 11/22/2005 I've used Easy-Off liquid or spray oven cleaner. Use gloves, and face protection. Apply oven cleaner. Allow to soak for 20 minutes. Rinse with sponge and 2 tablespoons of vinegar in a cup of warm water.

on 11/22/2005 When mold and mildew collect where the shower walls meet the floor or where the tub meets the wall, cut rolled cotton into long strips, place around the perimeter, soak cotton with undiluted bleach, let stand a few hours, remove and discard. It's gone!!!
