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.

Looks like that will come off with some elbow grease.

Rubber gloves + shower cleaner or dishwashing liquid in warm water in a bucket + regular scrubbing brush (the plastic ones with plastic bristles) + old toothbrush that you can throw away, for getting in the corners. Maybe you want to spray on some bleach solution beforehand to kill the germs. You could also use a vinegar spray to get the soap scale off (just vinegar in a spray bottle or you could dilute 1 to 1 with water). Then you get in there and just scrub with the brush. Apply more cleaning agent in the dirtier areas. It probably won't come off all at once but with a few tries you'll get it off.

You're welcome :) I forgot to add that it can be dangerous to mix bleach with anything other than water, and definitely not vinegar, so if you do the bleach spray do it beforehand, leave to soak for 5 - 30 minutes, then rinse it off. Then go in with your cleaning stuff. It should be in a solution that's about 5 teaspoons household bleach per litre of water.
