scrub the whole tub.

Use your white pad to scrub the tub, starting at the end away
from the drain. Use the same "see through" method so you know
when the porcelain under the foam and powder is clean. As
necessary, use your toothbrush at the top of the tub where the
tile meets the tub. This is often Mold Heaven (or Hell). It comes
off rather easily if you can get at it with your toothbrush. The
problem arises when it is found growing in the tiny cracks in the
grout and can't be removed with your toothbrush. Remove what
you can. Later you can use bleach on the rest, but not until you
are just about to leave the bathroom, since chlorine bleach is
obnoxious and you don't want to breathe it if you can help it.

Rinsing the Shower and Tub
Now everything inside the tub/shower area is a clean but foamy
mess, and you are ready to rinse. Put your unrinsed tile brush and
white pad in the sink, and leave them there while you rinse the
tub/shower area.

Turn on the shower to rinse. Use cold water so you don't fog
everything up. If there is a detachable shower head on a hose,
rinsing is a pleasure. Completely rinse the walls and doors
before you rinse the tub. Rinse the shower walls from front
(starting above the drain end) to back and from top to bottom. If
there are areas that you can't reach with the shower spray, first
try using your hand to deflect the spray to the area you need to
rinse. If you still can't get it all rinsed, then use the plastic
container that was over the top of the cleanser to catch water and
throw it to those last nasty unrinsed spots.

After the walls are rinsed clean, rinse the tub—this time back to
front toward the drain. Use your fingers to feel the bottom of the
tub to know when all the cleanser is rinsed out. Don't depend on
sight alone, as it is impossible to see a little leftover cleanser in a
wet tub. The reverse, of course, is also true: If you leave a tiny bit
of cleanser in the tub and wait for it to dry, it makes a powdery
film that will cause the customer to complain.
After you have rinsed the tub and there is no leftover cleanser or
tile cleaner, turn off the water. Don't replace the items from
