I use a three step cleaning system to clean tube and shower enclosures.

This takes the longest in cleaning due to drying time in between chemicals.

1st step:

Zep Shower, Tub & Tile Cleaner



2nd step:

Lime-A-Away

This takes care of all the rust and hard water spots






3rd step:

Bar Keepers Friend
  
Liquid type - NOT THE POWDER TYPE - USE CAUTION AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY - a little bit of this goes a log way.glass shower doors sparkle after using this.

Toilet Before and After Cleaning

                                                           Toilet Before Cleaning

Toilet After Cleaning
 
 
      
Zep    Acidic Toilet Bowl Cleaner
   
       This is the best cleaner, I have found for this type of job.


 
 
I pour it straight into the toilet and let it sit for 5 mins. Scrub and  repeat if nessesary.  I also use this in a spray bottle to get under the rim of the bowl.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
For hard water rings around the toilet bowl nothing bets a Pumi stick
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If you toilet just need a touch up
 
None of us likes to do it, but we all appreciate the results of having a clean toilet in the bathroom.

Though it may seem like a simple task, scrubbing the toilet actually should be done in several steps. Omitting even one of them can detract from the odor- and germ-free bathroom environment everyone prefers and guests will notice.

Remove bathroom rugs and the toilet seat cover, if you have one. Wearing rubber or plastic gloves to protect your hands is a must.

Start by scrubbing inside of the toilet bowl. Raise the seat. Add a small amount of bathroom cleaner, perhaps the size of a quarter. Swish the cleaner through the water with the toilet cleaning brush to make foaming suds. Then gently brush water against the sides of the bowl and under the lip of the seat. Scrub away stains, spots, and debris, concentrating the brush activity at the bottom of the bowl.

After scrubbing, flush the toilet and wait to see if most of the grime is removed. If not, repeat the process.

Next, use a small bucket with warm water and cleaner ( perferably a cleaner with a desinfected) to dampen a clean scrub cloth. Wipe the top and bottom of the toilet seat and rinse the cloth. Then wash the water tank behind the toilet, including front and sides, and as much of the back area as you can reach. Finally, wipe all sides of the pedestal bowl and the adjacent floor and wall areas.

You can either wipe off extra moisture or allow it to air dry. If possible, open the bathroom windows or door or turn on exhaust fan to vent the area well. Fresh air adds a secondary enhancement in purifying the toxic air.

You may want to place a toilet bowl deodorizer on the lip of the pedestal. These devices can remove scented cleaning product with each flush to keep the bowl clean and fresh. Or you can place a plug-in deodorizer in a wall socket to freshen the entire room.

Put down clean rugs, and you're done! Stock antibacterial soap at the sink and tub areas so all bathroom users can wash their hands after each visit to prevent the spread of germs. Change towels every few days for the same reason. Don't let your toilets become permanently stained or foul-smelling. Take a few minutes each week to maintain their appearance, scent, and function
