I haven't had cleaning help in 16 months, and I can't keep up anymore. My upstairs bathroom has taken me over. Can someone please recommend what products to use for the following? Please be kind, I know it's gross, I work FT, and I just can't manage to keep up..

Shower/bathroom wall tiles feel slimy, and white grout is now pink. It's horrible. What's the easiest way to clean both the tiles and grout? I can't use a very strong products, its not good for me to inhale them ( strong ones like bleach)

The ceiling of the bathroom with shower and tub is also tiles. I can't reach them. I see like mildew spots. How do I clean, and with what? It's so high up!!

My tub is a stupid jacuzzi, super deep, with those stupid holes that get all full of black gook and disgusting and gross. I've tried using a toothbrush, but it's super hard to reach as it's deep and is killing my back. How do I clean those stupid holes? And the bathtub in general, when it's so deep?

Any assistance, and links for products would be so graciously appreciated. Ty!

I know this sounds odd, but a barely damp mop or a squeegee cleaning thing could work for the high up tiles and ceiling.

I've used Scrubbing bubbles stuff before - just spritz it, wait a bit and wipe. Someone may know something better though. https://www.scrubbingbubbles.c.....ducts

In terms of the tub, I haven't tried this myself, but I saw someone on youtube suggest using the powdered soap you use for a dishwasher (though a number of people in the comments suggested removing the jets, cleaning them, and going from there).

Can you afford to save up enough money to hire a professional cleaning service? Just have them do a deep clean on all the bathrooms. I think it would be worth it.

(Your average cleaning lady will not do a good job, not as clean as you need it. She's just for maintenance.)

Work on giving everything a quick swipe once a week to maintain it. The wet wipes that come in packets are really easy.

Might not be the smartest but if you spray bleach on all these places, leave for a few minutes then come back a wipe...its a miracle.
After that then you can purchase some cleaning products to use every day to keep it fresh.
Clean shower or just spray and go is good for bath or shower.
