Switched from scrubbing my shower with bleach to using a $3 dish soap and vinegar mix... way less work

I was spending like 20 minutes every weekend scrubbing the soap scum off my shower door with bleach spray and a scrub brush. My neighbor told me to try mixing blue Dawn dish soap with white vinegar in a spray bottle and just let it sit for 10 minutes. Tried it last Saturday and the grime basically slid off with a sponge. No harsh smell either. Has anyone else found a cheaper cleaning mix that beats the store bought stuff?

Heard somewhere that baking soda mixed with hydrogen peroxide works better than most tub and tile sprays for the price. Sprinkle it on, let it fizz for a bit, then scrub with a wet sponge. Cheap as hell and it gets rid of that yellow buildup around drains too.

I had a buddy who tried this on his shower floor last summer. He left the paste on for like an hour because he got distracted watching a game, then scrubbed it off. Said it looked almost brand new, even got the dark grime out from between the tiles where nothing else would touch it. He was bragging about it for weeks. Only downside was his bathroom smelled like a weird science experiment for a day but he said it was worth it.
