They told me that etching should have come up after a couple of months of using the product if it was their fault. The issue at hand is that the acid concentration is so low that I'm sure etching happens after repeated and continued use. It's infuriating to be told something is safe, be a good consumer, follow all directions and be a victim of people that although maybe didn't know it at first, just brush people off after hundreds of people have called to complain about the same issue.
I'm sure that the squeaky wheel gets the grease so I will complain to them until I drop as some people have done in this forum. I accept any suggestions you may have for following this complaint. While I haven't had mold or soap scum, the grout is beginning to crack in many areas. Has anyone else had a problem with this? Taylor says: Thanks for your question, which I've added to the cleaning help section of the site. Unfortunately, I don't have a particularly great answer for you in regard to grout.
I do know I would not recommend using this product on your glass shower doors over a long period of time from the numerous complaints I've received about it etching such surfaces. However, you are the first person I've heard complain about grout damage. If anyone else has experienced such a problem though, please report it to me, so I can add more information for others about this.

Teri says: Tilex had streaked my glass, but I did not know this was permanent until I read these comments. I was looking for a solution to clean it, but apparently there isn't one. I've tried all kinds of cleaners, using sponges, brushes, etc. Has anyone with this problem complained directly to the company? If so what results did you get? Taylor says: That's a really good point Teri -- a lot of people are having trouble with this product harming their shower glass.
Obviously, from the comments and experiences I've already received some people have contacted repair people, who have had to replace the glass in the showers.
But, what about a response from the company? I have not personally used this product but I know that if I used something that harmed something in my home that was expensive to fix, especially if it was advertised to be safe for that surface, I would want to contact the company and see what they have to say about it.
Perhaps they have a fix, or may even offer to compensate you for the loss. I haven't heard of anyone else contacting them either, so I would love for people to contact the company and report back what they've said here. You can share your experience here.

Dec It ruined my shower glass by: Anonymous I have been using Fresh Shower for about 7 years now. I kept thinking the streaks were soap scum and having been trying to find a solution. Well, I finally put my nail to the streaks and no soap scum, just total etching. Will Tilex ever own up to this and replace our glass?

So obvious I've been using this product for about 4 years and noticed a build up of what I thought was hard water minerals on my glass doors.
