Desperate for a clean shower
So I fear everything that I use for my normal cleaning routines will not even touch the grime in my shower. FI comes home covered in carbon after work and leaves the showing black and there is nothing I can do with any natural or eco friendly alternatives. Please help before I find myself desperate enough to buy scrubbing bubbles. Much appreciated.

Re: Desperate for a clean shower
Try vinegar like the above poster suggested.
Or
You can also use the Descaler from Norwex - I use this on a regular basis and like it a lot!

My Blog
Carbon is a whole different ballgame. I've found the only way I can clean carbon off of anything is with a citrus cleaner and salt. I'm trying to remember what I used to use (haven't had a job where I get carbon everywhere for a while).
After some googling I can't remember what exactly I used but it was similar to this:
Mix these in a bowl:
Mix these in a spray bottle:
First use the salt / borax mixture. Just throw it on where ever the carbon is. Then spray a little from the bottle over that mixture. Wait only a couple of minutes (like, 2) and scrub off with a bristle brush. When you're done you should do a little maintenance on your drains to keep the carbon from building up and causing them to drain slowly. You can put a 1:1 mixture of washing soda and baking soda down the drain and flushing with vinegar.
I'm having flashbacks of dirty carbon fingerprints all over everything in my house (and I couldn't even blame it on someone else! It was all me).
