    I gently scrub mine with an SOS pad or a Brillo pad. Again, gently is the key. However, it gets that soap scum better than anything.

    I use a product called The Works (it's like CLR) but test it in an inconspicuous area first. Let it set a bit, then a Mr. Clean magic sponge thingie!!

    once you get the soap scum off it you can spray everything down with rubbing alcohol and wipe..This puts a shine to things. I use it everytime I clean. Mine isn't white white it is an off white. In my sink after it is all cleaned I spray with a dust spray and wipe. Toothpaste don't stick.

    I use Scrub Free, which I started using when I was cleaning a beauty shop briefly. You think you have a lot of soap scum, beauty shops have a LOT! I figured if it worked there, it'd work here, and it does.

    IHTH!
