My concern with the spraying, but not rinsing the shower, is that you are breathing all the chemicals every time you use it. And aerosols are absorbed very easily by the body, both through the mucous membranes of your nose but also through the pores of your skin. Given that most household cleaners contain toxic ingredients (yes, including some homemade ones), I am thinking this is not such a good idea.

I have known people who swear by using car wax on the walls of the shower and I would never do that for the same toxicity concerns.

I keep a tinted spray bottled filled with 1/2 hydrogen peroxide and 1/2 water to spray and clean… In the kitchen, I clean down my countertops, cutting boards and stove; it’s a great grease cutter and leaves your stove nice and shiny… In the bathroom; I spray with the solution and wipe it down, it does not leave a residue and afterwards it’s germ free… It’s great on windows and glass also, does not streak and kills germs… No smell… It does not damage septic tanks… This solution will also clean blood stains… If you have blood on cloth you can spray it and then wash as normal without clorox it comes out…. Also cost effective….

Consider this thought about bathroom sinks: majority of stains result from toothpaste, which is water soluble.

After you get out of the shower and dry off, take your bath towel and soak a corner or so of it with water, a large enough corner to cover the stains. Lay the towel over the toothpaste stains and leave it there for awhile. The water softens the toothpaste. The toothpaste, in turn helps make the sink shiny!

I leave mine there all day while the kids are at school. When they come home and see it, they know to use the towel to finish wiping the toothpaste stains, then the towel gets put in the wash.
