Pretty straightforward. I’ve never had a problem keeping my shower clean in my life until I began living with my husband. I always cleaned the shower regularly (1x week) and almost never had to go out of my way to clean the decorative shower curtain other than spring cleaning time.

Now that pink bacteria scum loves to live on the base of the shower and even our decorative (outer) shower curtain.

I am the one who does all of the laundry and 90% of the household cleaning and I have asked my husband to stop peeing in the shower because I think it is part of what causes the build up. We also have a stall shower with a curtain, so I know it’s likely spraying outside of the shower. I don’t think I’d care as much if it was in our shower/tub combo.

To be clear, I do not think anything is inherently wrong with peeing in the shower. I’ve just asked my husband politely several times now not to do it unless he wants to be the one to clean up all the pink scum. He gets really defensive every time. I just thought it was a really simple request that would make a difference to me, so why is it such a big deal?

My husband says that he would rather stop peeing in the shower than be the one to clean it. So take that for what it is worth. If nothing else, he is going to stop so that we can see if it contributes to the film— although we both know now that it is probably just poor ventilation or our hygiene products.
