First clean the shower walls around the tub—at least the areas
that get wet when the shower is on. Wet the walls using a
rinsing cup or a shower wand if available. Then use tile cleaner
and the tile brush. (You have two brushes—-one for the toilet
and the other for the tub/shower and sink.) Although these are
not in your apron, they are in your tray. And your tray (thanks
to your observation of Clean Team Rule 1) is right at your feet.

Most people's arms are long enough to reach into the tub
enclosure to clean - and remember the brush adds more length
too. So we recommend that you stand outside the tub to clean.
An effective tile cleaner liberates an extremely slippery layer of
soap onto the tub floor. You can reach the shower doors in the
inside by moving the doors back and forth to expose the areas
that need to be cleaned. Don't squirt tile cleaner in the areas that
are already clean. (The higher part of the shower wall doesn't
normally get wet during a shower and therefore doesn't need
cleaning very often.)

Start by squirting some tile cleaner on the wall of the shower that
is farthest from the drain, and use your brush to spread it
around evenly. Don't scrub. Continue around the shower,
squirting tile Juice and spreading it around with circular
movements of the brush. Just distribute cleaner with the brush
until you've covered the area of the shower
wall that needs cleaning. Tile cleaner works mainly by chemical
action, so it needs to sit there for a couple of minutes to loosen
up the soap scum and hard water deposits.

If there are shower doors, continue applying tile cleaner on the
inside of the doors after you've finished coating the walls.
Replace the tile cleaner in your tray. Now start scrubbing the
shower wall where you first applied the tile cleaner. The brush
works much better than your white pad here because it digs into
the grout between the tiles as well as the tiles themselves. Be
prepared to shift to a white pad in some smooth showers,
however. Scrub in circles from top to bottom. Clean the
plumbing fixtures as you come to them, using the tile brush (and
toothbrush) as needed. You'll be making a bubbly mess on the
