doors. (If the white pad is too thick, use a cloth instead.) Now
move the scraper up and down to clean this area. Next, remove
the scraper and wrap a dry cloth around it for a final wipe. The
reason you use Red Juice here instead of tile cleaner is that it's a
difficult area to rinse, and Red Juice doesn't require rinsing the
way tile cleaner does.

It's still not time to rinse. Next, take care of the shower door tracks
(runners). Usually you can clean them with your toothbrush and
Red Juice. If this doesn't work, use your scraper wrapped with a
cloth. Move it back and forth inside the runner to clean it. Or
fold your white pad in half and push it into the runner and move
it back and forth. Again, don't rinse yet—unless the walls are starting
to get dry. It that’s the case, a quick rinse is called for. There will
probably be a lot of junk in the tracks, and the temptation to
rinse repeatedly will be strong. Cleaning the shower runners is
one of those jobs that's a mess the first time. It becomes less of a
chore each time you do it, eventually needing only a quick wipe.

The Tub
Rub a dub dub, it’s time to clean the tub—leaving the shower
runners, the shower doors, and the shower walls clean but
covered with tile cleaner and whatever else you have loosened
up—all unrinsed. We haven't forgotten. (NOTE: If the walls and
shower doors start to become dry, then you should rinse before
finishing the tub.)

Wet the sides and bottom of the tub if they need it. Get the liquid
or powdered cleanser out of the tray and apply it in the tub.
Don't apply it anywhere but in the
tub—not on the shower walls or
faucets or shower head—just in the
tub. Use the cleanser appropriately.
If the tub isn't very dirty, don't use
very much. While you are learning,
resist your impulse to bombard the
tub. Be conservative, since most
cleansers are abrasives and wear out
porcelain. Also, it can take as much
time to rinse it away as it does to
