Last weekend I had my shower re-grouted. I have heard rumors that using a squeegee routinely after taking a shower will help tremendously in keeping the shower and grout clean. Anyone have experience or feelings on whether or not this is true?
First, one must have the self discipline to use said squeegee routinely. Thats not me. Yes, it'll help.
We towel it dry after every use. Our shower has 2 glass walls and a glass door, so if I don't do something it looks terrible.
It for sure helps. We had a mold problem but now do not. Also this is a great mold cleaner, best I have ever used bar none! We tried everything under the sun to get rid of mold. using this stuff then keeping it wiped off with a squeegee did the trick
I figure I can add a few more steps to my morning routine. I am going to try both squeegeeing and then drying with the towel. When I had the bathroom re-grouted, I also had an exhaust fan added to the bathroom. Frankly, I was amazed when I moved here to learn that bathrooms were not required to have an exhaust fan. Thanks, guys.
My experience with a squeegee and grout is that you cannot remove all of the water. I do it, but it's not ideal.
I incorporated both the squeegee and wiping down the shower into my daily routine. It only takes about 1 minute, so I figure that it is worth the try. Unfortunately, I won't really know if it works for a few months, but it is worth the effort.
Well, after about 2 months I can say without a doubt that squeegeeing the shower and spraying with a cleanser afterwards makes a world of difference. I was very surprised at how much water a vertical wall will hold. I have been not been wiping down the shower with a cloth because I was running through too many towels doing it that way. But, a quick squeegee and some spray really makes a difference. Thanks for the help guys.
