Removing Soap Scum from Shower?

We have a tile shower, with colored epoxy grout. I am not really sure what to use to clean the tile due to that type of grout. Can anyone help me?

With colored grout you do not want to use bleach. Try the same recipe as for taking stains out of carpet. Make a paste of baking soda and scrub with a brush. Then put some vinegar in a spray bottle and it will fizz and wash away. Scrub a bit as you spray. Both stains and soap will wash away.

Baking soda is very gentle and will not scratch. The scrub brush does not need to be all that stiff so as not to scratch the grout or tiles. Remember to open the window and door and put a fan to make the vinegar smell go out the window.

There are mild vinegars out there. You may have to buy a more expensive one go get a milder smell, but for me it's worth it. (I can't stand the scent of apple cider vinegar!) The kinds that are infused with herbs are usually so mild in scent that one could drink it straight and not feel as if they are drinking vinegar.
