S/O shower cleanings - textured shower floors

is_it_over_yet?

We have a shower stall with a textured, anti-slip floor. Unfortunately the texture consists of tiny bumps, creating a ton of tiny crevices for soap scum build-up. I have to use a hard-bristled brush and a lot of Soft Scrub to get it clean. The elbow grease required to clean out the soap scum is huge, to the point that it causes me a great deal of wrist pain.

Aside from getting a brand new shower stall, any suggestions for keeping soap scum to a minimum in between cleanings? I've tried using daily shower spray but it doesn't seem to help.  Thanks!

Buy the cheapest bottle of shampoo you can, think Suave or V05, pour the entire bottle on the floor of your shower (cover the drain with a rag to keep it in) and let it sit for a couple of hours, go back and give it a quick scrub and rinse. I swear your shower will look like new!

I have a similar problem, so I'll be watching this post for more answers! Our shower drains so slowly, no matter what I do to it. I've used dranos and snakes and all sorts of things, but it still drains slowly. So, our soap scum build-up is constant! Drives me crazy.

Just an update that I've been researching this on Google and experimenting a bit.  One interesting method I found was to spray Easy Off Oven Cleaner (blue can only) on the soap scum, leave it there for a couple hours (with ventilation), and then scrub.  I'm seeing a difference with this and wish I had tried this before I gave my shower floor a really good cleaning because I suspect it would have saved me some time and effort.
