I’m 99.9% sure that the person who designed those fiberglass showers with the non-skid floors never had to clean them otherwise the design would be very different. And you know the builders who install them also never had to clean them or else they would not install them.
You are echoing the tirade in my thoughts every time I have to clean my tub LOL!
People who design things should be made to clean them for a month.
I just thought everyone else knew the secret of cleaning them and I was left out! I’ve been cleaning mine with a Mr. Clean “Magic Eraser” and that works pretty well. The first time the “eraser” was used up. And since it doesn’t involve a chemical, I clean the shower while I’m taking a shower.
But Kathy, the Mr. Clean eraser won’t work on that horrible non-skid floor because it can’t get into those teeny squares (I’ve tried). It seems like the only things that work on it are old-fashioned elbow grease or a highly toxic chemical that gives me a headache.
Mr. Clean WILL work on the walls. But I think the floor was designed by ol’ Lucifer himself.
Oh! I guess not all non-skid shower floors are equal. I know what you’re talking about, though. The “sketching” on our shower floor is quite fine and though the eraser wasn’t perfect, I was satisfied. Once I had it fairly clean, I commenced to use one of those daily shower sprays to keep it clean. That’s not perfect either, but it seems to help.
Did grandma have these problems?
Grandma had a ceramic bath/shower in their house and I think a porcelain on steel in their mobile home.
Until we moved back to Los Angeles, I always had a porcelain on steel tubs/showers. Those were such a dream to clean! Scrubbing Bubbles took care of most of the hard work. Vinegar and baking soda handled the occasional soapy build-up. Both the downtown loft we lived in for a year and our current house had been recently “updated” by the landlords with these dreadful fiberglass (or maybe acrylic?) monstrosities. I’m guessing they figured it was a cheap way to update the bathrooms.
Oh, wait, our house in Indiana had an acrylic shower that I forgot about. We never used it because it was in the basement laundry room next to the furnace (and had a crack in the floor of the shower).
I thought I’d just let you know that I have read all of your posts.
More, I want more!
More are coming, I promise! Just dealing with end of semester “drama” using up all of my time.

Dr. J, how dare you give me a D! I only missed half the classes and turned in half the assignments! This is _________ ! (Just fill in whatever ism the outraged student thinks applies in this case)
*stomps off in a huff*
Ah, Hairball…you’ve been spying on me again, haven’t you?? You know what your doctor said about that kind of behavior! *laugh*
