Impossible Shower

I think you are correct that your problems start with not sealing the limestone. To get the best result, the stone would have to be professionally cleaned and then sealed. They would use a series of grinding to bring the stone to a fresh condition then polish it and seal it. Natural stone is like a sponge that soaks up everything and it is very hard to remove dirt from it's pores. You could try calling tile suppliers in your area for suggestions on cleaners to try or a company to clean and seal your shower. THe good news it that once it is sealed, it will be easier to maintain. Good luck.

I would call the (a) supplier of the limestone to figure out the best & safest way to clean it. You would not want to ruin you stone work.

1 month ago I was in your shoes!!! I found a wellness company called Melaleuca...purchased their tub and tile cleaner....my shower is clean!! I have spent hundreds of dollars on special cleaners. Now I have spent $7.59 on a bottle of cleaner that will mix up 4 bottles of shower cleaner because its super concentrated with no harsh chemicals!!! Melaleuca's Tub & Tile ...hope this helps!!

I've had problems in my shower...which is tile. The guy at Lowe's suggested Tilex Mildew Root. He said it works on everything in the shower and removes all kinds of stains. I tried it in my shower and it was fantastic. I didn't have to brush or wipe. I sprayed it on, left it, and then rinsed it off. I would check first to see if it's safe on limestone. Then get it sealed after you clean it. Good luck!

staright bleach. Put some in a squirt bottle and let set for just a bit... it should work. I have also heard, CLR is great for that. No personal experience with that. Good luck!

Have you tried Bleach, Limeaway, Vinegar and some of the other store cleaners, before buying a steamer? If so, I am not sure what advice I could give you at this time.

I will call my grandparents and ask around for more information.... Stay Tunned.
