Natural Tile Cleaner Collage Soap scum
Looking for a healthier way to clean your shower tile?
Conventional products promise the task will be easy.
Tile Cleaner with chemicals - promises

My kids were even involved! They enjoyed the challenge, and I enjoyed knowing they weren’t breathing in harmful vapors.

For added scrubbing power, try a copper scrubbing pad. Wipe down with white vinegar or a natural soft scrubber.  My favorite soft scrubber uses liquid castile soap along with baking soda. If surface mold is an issue try a more targeted approach using one of the suggestions outlined in the post-Got Surface Mold? Ten Natural Solutions.
