FWIW, here's the lazy guy's solution to shower care used both at home and in the RV. Depending on shower use etc., your mileage may vary.
I read somewhere on the net that most bar soap has talc as an ingredient and that the talc is a major ingredient in "soap scum". This old dog switched to "body wash" that has no talc and noticed a difference. Traumatic switch for an old dog, but seemed to work.
Having made the switch, tried the "daily shower cleaner" products that are promoted by most of the major companies and available at the Dollar stores (both seem to work well). They promote them as if they are going to clean your shower, but they won't. You have to start with a clean shower!
Starting with a clean shower: Rinse down the walls after showering to get rid of any "products" you may have splashed on the walls etc. then spray the shower cleaner on all the surfaces. It breaks down the bubbles and stops whatever contaminants are left from drying on the surface. End of the day, a clean shower! Depending on use, once a week/fortnight/month you will want to go in with a manual cleaner to deal with the nooks and crannies, but day-to-day the best solution I've found. No daily cleaning, no squeegying, even glass shower doors show up as clean at the end of the day.
