Shower cleaning need help!

[Living The Dream]

@Mikey P what's that grout sealer you used on a post awhile back? I'm thinking of using bar keepers friend followed by alkaline. Any other suggestions? All the edges and corners are siliconed and that's where the mold is growing.

Do you mean Super Grout Additive ?looks like a perfect fix for those open gaps

Do those professional grade steam machines do a good job cleaning shower t&g?

[Mikey P]

Yes


But at a Ron Werner pace...

 

[hogjowl]

I’m getting calls for it.
I’m turning them down because mthe impression you’ve given me is it’s 8 hours with a razor blade.

 

[Mikey P]

It certainly can be.


And the next call can be cleaned with just your hydraforce gun.

 

[Mikey P]

It's disgusting work and will make you pissy.

 

[hogjowl]

Like that’s going to be noticed

My oldest granddaughter (7 years old) came over to spend the night with me tonight. My wife commented that she wished she could live with us permanently cuz I go from grumpy to happy whenever she’s here.

I stay grumpy if her brothers come.

 

[Mikey P]

this makes me happy.

 

[hogjowl]

Yeah, that would work for me too.

Especially if my grandkids were there!

Yes, but I don’t recommend you get one. The pressure washing tools you have will do very well and are useable in conjunction with your truckmount.

How? Nothing stays on the walls long enough to remove the mold and the grout never whitens up like the floor.

 

[Old Coastie]

Well, I’ve had success with bleach and detergent, Barkeeper’s friend for lime deposits and Venom peroxibright. There are liquid oven cleaners which are not lye based and cut crud really well.

In general, I’d suggest spritzing the wall from down to up, then lathering it up with a soft brush. Rinse with your gekko or whatever you have, then if there are any discolored spots, spritz bleach to lighten them.

I just can’t see laying out a few thousand for vapor steam equipment when you already have heat and pressure.

I would be glad to loan you mine if you want to mess with one, though.

 

[hogjowl]

I’d probably Damon it

I'm hoping we can get to use plenty of the SGA at the RMH in Florida

you havn't used the nanno yet...have ya?

The commercial vapor steam machines are only worth it if you get the really expensive ones that go above 300-330f

most of the moderately priced ones only do about 230/240 degrees and low pressure so not really any better than a lot of truckmounts

Great video! I think this will handle the job nicely!
