What do you use to clean your tub and toilet?

So now that we're going to be moving out soon (our loan was approved today, yea!), I think it's time to make a dent in the disgusting black mold/mildew/grossness in our shower. Toilet could use some help too. I don't know why, but it never seems to get completely clean. What do you recommend that's in the big guns category?
My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.

Re: What do you use to clean your tub and toilet?

  • I use Soft Scrub for the shower and Comet for the toilet.

  • Plain old toilet bowl cleaner with a rough toilet brush seems to do the trick for us. As for the tub - I use some kind of Comet-like product. I use the Mrs. Meyer brand for both and it works well, without all the nasty chemicals. I hate breathing that stuff.
  • For heavy duty grime like that I use Lime Away. They make a toilet bowl cleaner that's great. It's what we used in the dining commons to get heavy duty grime off. It's very strong so I'd wear something to cover your eyes and gloves. For heavy duty shower drain (esp to dissolve hair) I use this crystal stuff, not gel or liquid. I can't find the name though. It's also incredibly strong and you have to wear protective eye covering and gloves.
  • Hydrogen peroxide. Pour it on and let it sit. It works miracles. Baking soda is good for light cleaning.

    Great chemically product: Comet. It is amazing, as long as you have a well ventilated room.

    Great non-toxic: Mrs. Meyers toilet cleaner and her powder scrub both have nicer scents to them too.

  • We use Comet for the shower and on occasion something with bleach/mildew remover, or CLR. For the toilet, I think we use Lysol toilet cleaner? I don't remember, it's just whatever the normal toilet bowl cleaner is. I'm not at home so I can't go check.
  • When I had serious black stuff in our old place, I used Lysol shower and tile cleaner.  There might be a more green way to kill mold that's as effective, but I just wanted it gone.  

    Definitely get the fan going and open a window if you have one, though.  That stuff releases serious fumes.
