I live in south louisiana and I've noticed that mildew is a big problem in the shower/tub. I've tried scrubbing and bleaching, but it doesn't seem to help. Any products ya'll have used that work well?

    Really? Hot water and bleach didnt work? Oxyclean!

    A little bit of oxyclean in a gallon of water and a good scrub brush.

    This: http://www.scrubbingbubbles.com/Products/Pages/foaming-bathroom-cleaner.aspx

    I let it sit for 10 minutes before I scrub. I also use a steel wool to scrub. My shower is plastic or something though, I wouldn't use a steel wool on a porcelain tub or anything.

    Edit: I live in South GA. Humidity today is 76%.

    I think they're a pain, but my sister had good luck with the Scrubbing Bubbles thing where it sprays your shower out when you get out. Tilex Fresh Shower is nice too. Both of these products are used to maintain a clean shower though, not clean the mildew... Also, maybe use a fan during and after your showers to remove any excess moisture from the room.
