Dirty grout in shower
 

It keeps getting dirty. Bathroom only has a vent fan.
Stuff to clean both dirt and some mold?
Saw a guy in Costco selling a kit for $50 that he claims cleans
anything. Did not buy, but may since Costco will take it back.

First effort should be directed to removing plain dirt and soap scum. I
have used 3M scrubber and Dawn for
soap scum. Scrubbing Bubbles is very good for regular cleaning. Razor
blade scraper, with caution, is good
for heavy soap scum. Once rid of soap and dirt, regular cleaning with a
little bleach will take care of mold. I
leave my shower curtain open and stacked in the middle of the rod to
promote air circ. If you have grout or
caulk lines that trap water, you might want to repair or replace them.

Thats why I mentioned the fan. I am afraid of fumes.

Chlorox makes a spray shower cleaner that does not fume too bad.
There is also a bleach type felt pen that works nicely.
I use a non-bleach containing shower spray every time I shower but use
the Chlorox products occasionally.

Household bleach will kill mold and mildew. Are you using an "after
shower" spray? Even with that, you may need to use a "foaming
bubbles" cleaner 2-3 times a month which will help soften and strip
the soap scum buildup. Both of these products can be had for $6.
Abrasive cleaners can scratch and that can make cleaning difficult.
