Great Cleaning tip - UK product found!!!
We get this too at home in our shower, is it on the panels and tiles?Kipz wrote: I get the horrid orange stains in my shower.
If it is it is likely to be coming from all things used in the shower, shampoo, conditioner, soap etc. The way I get rid is using the 'starwax' shower spray. Spray and leave for an hour or so, wipe inside the cubicle with a green padded foam sponge and voila all gone.
Mould is another ballgame.

Well.... Actually I did take "before" and "after" photos but I didn't post them on here because I didn't want to admit, even to myself, what a saddo I seem to have become in my old age Fancy spending my time taking photos of mouldy showers. I REALLY do need to get out more....Rosbif wrote:Can anyone else trying it take some "before" and "after" pics for us all to see!!!
(Also, I was a bit embarrassed that I could have left my shower to get to such a disgusting state in the first place.....)
But, as you've asked, I suppose I may as well reveal them.
Before:
After:
(OK, a couple of bits still need to have another application).

Wow what a difference the cleaner has made NC.
Is this your shower in the Uk or France?
I ask as perhaps the heat may have make a difference to how mould grows. We do get it in France where the temperature and climate is warmer, 'starwax' shower spray gets rid of it.
Home in Scotland we don't seem to get mould, more yellow coloured scum, on the tiles and glass doors of the shower cubicle, accumulating from the products we use in the shower, good old 'tesco bathroom spray bleach' and a green spongie pad used all over will work wonders.

wow I'm really impressed. Glad I ordered some. I had thought that I should take photos but was embarrassed by the state my shower had got into and I wondered if the stuff would actually get rid of it. My shower has got about the same amount of black stuff...it's impossible to shift by ordinary means though, it's like it's embedded into the silicone seal.
Now that I have seen your pics, I have got really high hopes of a sparkling shower...
will let you know how i get on and may even treat you all to some pics...

Yes and No.
We have the clcv.org behind us, they've been brilliant in helping us to sort this out. (clcv being the French consumer association).
But it can't be done until the end of the season, as we have back-to-back bookings now all the way through to the autumn. But the tiles will be replaced on 12-13 November....
In the meantime we've left a dossier at the house documenting the whole sorry affair because we don't want all our renters to think we are cheapskates who had a go at doing our own botched tiling job!
