My local public water plant says that a pink slime/stain on my plastic
shower surface is from bacteria in the surrounding environment that like
plastic and the nutrients in water. I use scrubbing bubbles every day
but it doesn't seem to help much with this build up. Anyone know the
low-down on this issue and if my water plant is correct?

TIA,
Dan

While taking appropriate safety precautions, get some cheap laundry
bleach and apply to the affected areas, typically the floor. Let it
work for a while, then rinse. Follow the dilution directions for
sanitizing.
We get the same buildup periodically in our marble shower. Bleach
kills the bacteria and sanitizes it for a while. Then the shower gets
used and more stuff arrives.

why do you say cheap bleach? or you just mean it's cheap.

yeah, bleach is cheap.

you know bleach does not remove the mass, it just bleaches it to where
you can't see it.
it removes the color, then the bulk becomes transparent..

juss means it doesn't remove the "stuff", it just turns the "stuff"
clear...
it appears to be gone..

now Im not saying that a super fantastic water softener like bleach
will not remove the "stuff".. it certainly could... butcha see... you
got to scrub that stuff off

it's not like bleach is going to dissolve the "stuff"

we only think it's gone because we don't see it

for example, you can't see me right now, but I'm still here!

YES! THANK GOD! I AM STIIIIILLLL HERE

HALLELUYAH!

WOOOOOOOOOOO


CAN I GET AN AMEN?

CAN I BUY AN AMEN?

I can't get no help UP IN HERE!

AIN'T NOBODY HEARING ME!!

I shoulda been dead by now, I should been long gone asta lavista, frank
sinatra, bin laden..

but i am still here
