How to clean this shower?

It looks as if the chrome has discoloured but it seems to be within the frame.

Is there any way to clean this?

Napalm

Or cif, cif cleans everything and anything (excluding stainless steel/brushed metals)

I'll give it a go. The problem is getting it in there. It's kind of closed but clearly not enough to not allow water in.

steam cleaner if you got one.

Take the panel off?

Feel sorry for people that find life this complicated, remove the panel if it's worrying you that much, and give a good clean out

How would these people make through life if there was no Internet? Use their own brain and work it out maybe?

i'd cheap bleach from aldi. put it in a spray bottle. dilute with maybe 25% water to make it more runny.

then just spray it everywhere. repeat this spraying process once every hour for 4-6 hours. if it's not gone by then buy a new shower.

Cillit Bang Black Mould Remover spray

it really does clear everything. Mould gone within seconds.

you do know it's just bleach right? with some foamy stuff so it clings better

they like to call it this though

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hypochlorite

so it sounds fancy.

it's just bleach. which is like 45p for 2 litres in aldi.

You're absolutely right! Fancy asking questions on an internet forum, the ruddy cheek of it!

Anything bleach based and something to get in there with. Old toothbrushes are great.

Have you seen the amount of different fans and types? Not quite the same as cleaning something

Mustard will have that nice and shiny in no time.

I wonder if it's the foamy stuff then, as I find it works so much better than bleach.
Maybe that's because I spent more. My brain is telling me it was a good purchase.

Cheap bleach from home bargains

Personally I would take it off, assuming you can, clean it up.
Physical removal is better than trying to chemically clean first

Then run a very small bead of clear silicon round the top to stop any chance of moisture ingress.

I'd go with the bleach option too. Its worth trying before you start to dismantle anything.
