I can't seem to get the mildew off our shower door and chalked areas.
Looking for ideas.

Mildew should be taken care of with a solution of 50% chlorine bleach and
water. If it is really bad, you can spray the area, apply paper towels
(like wallpaper) and spray again. Let that sit for several hours and then
scrub. You can treat the mineral build-up with a product like CLR -
something with phosphoric acid designed to removed mineral build-up. For
soap scum, try using a Scotchbright pad or similar plastic scrubber with
some mild cleanser like Bon Ami.

I put the kibbosh on mildew by spraying the shower after every use with
hydrogen peroxide. Simply get a quart bottle of the stuff (I get mine at
Walgreen's) and attach a sprayer top from another bottle of something (they
all seem to fit). Spray after every shower and voila! No more mildew...

I keep another bottle of this in the kitchen to spray cutting boards,
counters, etc. Works like a charm....

Try a hot stem cleaner. I think Wal Mart or Target have the Scunci brand.
