How can I make my shower floor tiles scum / soap residue resistant?

Question

How can I make my shower floor tiles scum / soap residue resistant? I just bought brand new tiles, and made a mistake of choosing a dark brownish/redish/orangeish tile for my shower floor. it looks awesome, except after anyone takes a shower, it dries up with whitish residue mostly around the sides. What can I do (besides cleaning it after every shower) to make the tile resistant to the white stuff?

Answer 1

sorry, don't know about making it resistant... but scrubbing bubbles foaming soap scum remover works well.  it's in a spray bottle.  leave it on for 20 minutes & the scum rinses away.  good luck

Answer 2

obviously wiping down with a towel or squeegie is best betyou could also try those spray cleaners meant for afterward or those new shower cleaners that you push a button and does it by itself.I'll give you another hot tip..magic erasers do an awesome job on soap scum and you don't have the fumes!!!
