Homeowner Forum / Cleaning / August 2003Pink stuff build-up on shower floor
On my shower floor, I seem to get a strange pink build-up over time that I have to constantly scrub away. There are certain areas on the shower floor where water sits after a shower, and those areas seem to have the most pink build-up, so I'm assuming it's something in the water that's left over when the water evaporates. Has anyone heard of something like this? What is this pink stuff? There are a few spots where I cannot get the pink stuff off no matter how hard I scrub... (The shower floor/walls are not made of tile, but... eh, some kind of hard plastic? That's my best guess.) Thanks!

Start with a clean shower, then use the spray everyday. You will have to clean your shower less often and it will be easy. > On my shower floor, I seem to get a strange pink build-up over time that I > have to constantly scrub away.

I get this in my shower too, mostly in the summer. Definitely a form of mold. Bleach works, or use a mildewcide. >On my shower floor, I seem to get a strange pink build-up over time that I >have to constantly scrub away.

Can't do much more than you are doing except maybe use a squeegee and dry it off. Dave in Columbus There is no fluoride in the water where I live - not yet at least. The pink stuff appears to be some form of mold. I get it where water has collected in the bathroom around the tub area or sink where it's dripped...in the bath that doesn't get lots of use, it is sometimes around the water's edge in the commode. Bleach takes care of it. Dorothy |
