I’ve been using the stuff daily for several years, but I still clean the shower and tub at least once a month anyway. So, it’s difficult for me to judge if the Tilex actually meets its claims of reducing the need for cleaning.
And what’s in that bottle anyway? There’s no list of ingredients, and I could be sparying water for all I know.
I have no idea if those things work because I have never used them but I just wanted to say that brix11 = 1.0443 specific gravity and may be considered one of the causes of obesity. I am sure not many people around here knew that 
OK, I’m totally letting you hijack my post because I need an explanation of what the hell you’re talking about.
Well, I guess your screen name does not mean what I thought it might.
Brix is a scale for measuring sugar content of water solutions and is used in the manufacture of wine, beer and soft drinks. A beverage with Brix = 11 has 11% sugar which is on the high side for soft drinks.
Plenty of further info online by googling. So now that we’ve cleared that up I am curious as to what your screen name refers to.
Brix is a scale used to measure the concentrations of solutions, particularly the concentrations of sugar solutions, particularly in the food/candy/wine industry. sailor is joking with you, that’s all.
My Mom uses one of those daily shower sprays and has apparently been able to avoid scrubbing the shower at all for some time. Her housekeeping standards may not be as high as yours, however.
Oh, right. I had heard that about “brix” before from my boss who was a McDonald’s manager in a former life. I’d never seen a brix equation, however.
My brother’s high school friends used to call him Brix, a shortened form of our last name, Brixius. I always liked the nickname, although, much to my chagrin, no one actually called (or calls) me that.
For no other reason than having been born on the eleventh of September, I began considering 11 my lucky number when I was younger.
My mom uses it and seems to work ok for her. I don’t see the point in spending 5 minutes spraying every day versus spending maybe 20 minutes every 2-3 months cleaning the shower. YMMV.
Every 2-3 months??? Ewwwwwwwww!!!
I used this at my old apartment and it seemed to work quite well.
We don’t use it now as our kitten has a penchant for sitting in the tub after we shower and meowing at the water going down the drain.
2-3 months seems rather often to me… after all, you’re constantly soaping and rinsing the shower…
How often do you clean your shower, Rex?
Weekly, usually on Saturday afternoon.
We use this.
I was skeptical at first when my wife bought it, but I’ve become a convert. Our shower stall is now alway sparkly clean.
We don’t however, use it every day. Every other day or so, whoever showers last spritzes a few times on the glass door and the plastic enclosure that makes up the stall.
Now I have to confess that I never cleaned the shower stall before she bought this stuff. I have to take her word for it that it’s much easier than how she cleaned it before (about every other week).
Maybe you’re scummy enough to require frequent cleaning, but I am sleek and satiny. Dirt just glides off my supple flesh…
Well, I’m a good data point, because I pretty much never cleaned my shower. Mold just continued to grow, spreading its tendrils all the way outside the shower and climbing the bathroom walls. I threw out several shower curtains when they became too disgusting. Once in a great while, if someone was going to be staying with me, I made the long, tedious effort to clean up the shower.
Then I discovered Tilex. I still don’t ever clean my shower, but I do spray it daily after I shower. There is no mold at all. Yay! As far as household products go, I rank Tilex just behind the Roomba vacuum in cleaning value for the effort required.
Well, you have been purchasing this product for ‘several years’, and you still don’t know if it works. I’m thinking that it sure works for the Tilex people, everytime you buy a new bottle.
Closer to 5 seconds of spraying actually.
You’re a guy and your surprised that he only cleans his shower every 2-3 months? You’re lucky it’s not once every six months.
I moved into my current place in December and haven’t cleaned the shower once. I’m sure my roommate hasn’t either.
Look people, nothing in that bottle of Tilex is gonna kill mold better than a home-made solution I’ve been using for years.
1 part Chlorine bleach (like in laundry bleach)
to 9 parts tap water.
This can be used to sterilize an operating table–it will kill your mold.
Got this formula from a nurse, works great.
Doctors/Nurses/Biologists, please chime in here.
Yup. I use chlorine bleach to kill everything and, believe me, on a boat you get mold and fungus everywhere. I just go around spraying.
OTOH, at home I do not feel the need to clean the shower often, simply because it is well ventilated and does not grow anything. If you use soap, like I do, rather than body liquid detergent (or whatever it’s called) then it is possible that some soap deposits will accumulate on the tile wall. This does not bother me at all as I do not rub against the walls anyway. But it only takes a few minutes to clean with a pad and detergent. I see no use for those shower cleaners and IMHO the are sold based on people’s ignorance and insecurities more than on a real need.
I like the bleach spray idea. I’d just wear some ratty clothes while doing it.
Does it stink pretty badly from all the bleach?
