Yes!  They thrived!

There's a bottom feeder/thriving off scum/lawyer joke in there somewhere.

We have a large shower with "tumbled" marble tiles on the floor and walls and half of the shower is a glass wall and glass door. Well, it's not really a shower as much as it is a collection point for all things soap scum. bang head It's a constant effort to keep it semi clean. I use Softscrub liquid gel, a two sided sponge with one side like a Scotch Brite pad the other side normal sponge and a stiff bristle brush about the size of my palm. I use the Scotch Brite-type side of the sponge on the interior glass wall and door and the brush and sponge on the tiles and grout. It's a pain and a constant maintenance issue. Maybe we should bathe less... or get a bucket of snails. waytogo

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

clean it, dry it out for a few days and then seal it.  you would be surprised how different it behaves.

A small dehumidifier will do wonders for prevent spore growth. Less moisture = less growth = less work to keep it clean.

I don't how well they work on lawyers.

You're right there. waytogo I need to reseal the shower, bath and kitchen counter tops for sure. It's been a few years. The guy who remodeled our house before we bought it had a mad on for tumbled marble tiles. bang head Doing the showers and bath counter tops is one thing. Having that same shit for kitchen counter tops was a huge tactical error. Tongue Not the kind of surface you want to work off of in a kitchen. We have big glass and clear plastic cutting boards everywhere. I have nighmares of spilled spaghetti sauce and a permanent stain the size of the sink! If I ever do one mod to this house it would be to ditch the tile kitchen top and go with something (anything!!) else.

In the mean time I need to get off my ass, clean it all up and reseal.

I remember seeing an infomercial on power steamers cleaning bathroom scum.  This isn't the exact same tool, but comparable.
