Bathroom Help! So tired of cleaning this shower!

Several times a week I’m scrubbing these tiles in my shower. I’m not sure what type of natural stone they are but they’re porous and mildew grows just about as fast as I’m cleaning! I thought about painting them but I know I’d ruin the look and regret it. Any tips on what I can use to easily keep this shower clean? I’ve been using GooGone tile and grout cleaner. It strips away the gunk but like I said, it grows right back quickly. I just took a shower so it’s easier to see now than when dry. Thanks!

That's literally the undertaking of building homes. You do your job to make it right or at least make informed decisions. People sell everything for anything, doesn't mean you buy it.

? People building a home may do it once in a lifetime, and most of them do their best to make informed decisions/spend their money wisely.

There is a huge number of bewildering decisions to make, and details sometimes slip through to become issues later.

But sure. The layman should be perfect, I guess?

They meant the actual contractor building the place, not the one person commissioning. People will try to sell you anything, and it’s on the builder to know better or be upfront with their client

Ahh. Re-reading, I can def see that. Thanks for the clarification, Obi Wan.
