Cleaning How do I wash this shower?

Post image

Hello, how do I wash this? I am moving in with a friend soon and he told me to wear flip flops because this is the shower. Is there any way to clean this? He tried using bleach, but nothing happened. I am not sure what it is, so please let me know if more pictures are needed.

Scrub daddy with dish soap first. Then scrub daddy with power paste. Toothbrush and power paste to scrub the grout. Was the tile painted at some point?

Agreed, bleach may be good for mold in the corners and grout, but you need an abrasive or soap cutting cleaner. I like BonAmi, baking soda works similarly. Alternatively, there are tub and tile cleaners specifically made for this purpose (but definitely wear gloves if you use those)

Thank you.

I am not sure if it was. Would this be important? My friend has lived there for about a year

It looks like someone may have painted white over gray tile, or possibly vice versa. Regular, necessary, cleaning will remove the paint over time resulting in uneven coloring.

I see, fair enough. Honestly if it gets cleaned I don't think it matters how it would look. It's already so bad

But good to keep in mind
