You do have to use a cleaner that isn't too harsh since you are with it in the shower. I use Kaboom.
You don't have to scrub too hard the first time since you will be back to that section in 5 days. Viola! A clean shower in 10 days. If there are other people who use the shower, you could assign each person a section to clean once a week.

I too, am one of the shower dryers, after every shower, or after the last shower of the morning. Keeps it clean. I clean the tub every couple of weeks. I use Mr Clean &/or Magic Eraser on it. A squeegee is an alternative to a towel, if you prefer.

Sounds like a lot of cleaning to me. All I do is wipe the shower and faucet down with a small towel following a shower. This eliminates mold and water spots because the walls are dry, and the grout and caulk stay stain-free - even with my hard water. It takes about a minute, depending on the size of the shower. This eliminates spraying with harmful chemicals. I live alone, but if a family uses showers, the wipe-down can be handled in whatever way works best. My shower is above the tub, and I clean the tub whenever necessary.

Good tip!
My husband and I have started keeping a spray bottle of half water, half vinegar in the shower stall, and spray it completely (including the shower curtain) after we finish showering.
We started with a clean shower stall-using very much the same cleaning plan you outline in your post-and are managing to keep it clean and mildew free with the homemade spray now.

Now that our kids are grown and gone, my husband and I dry the shower down every time we use it. It isn't any fun, but if you actually time yourself, it only takes about 2 minutes. I think of it as a little exercise - stretch, bend - move. You will never have a dirty shower. I do like your idea, and it is a good way to get started, then after that, dry it each time. (thumbs up to you.)
