Is the best and easiest way to clean hard water spots and soap scum in my shower with black ceramic tile?

The Magic Eraser worked great on my water spots/hard water stains (Target also makes a store brand version that works fine). To keep them at bay, I like Method brand daily shower spray. It's non-toxic and biodegradable, and it really works! I have VERY hard water, and this absolutely prevents water spots when used daily.
Well they say "CILLIT BANG"(detergent) but I tried it & found that good old fashioned elbow grease is better!!
Start off by cleaning it with a soap and scum remover, then spray daily with diluted vinegar or one of the products they make for daily cleaning (some smell better than plain old vinegar...).
Get the cheapest shampoo you can and clean away with a textured cloth or sponge. Make sure it doesn't scratch the surface. For sure it will remove soap scum. Not sure about hard water spots. For that you may need C.L.R. (calcium, lime, rust) - find it at Wal-Mart or similar.
those mr clean magic erasers work GREAT for me so maybe you will have some luck with that too also if you clean your bathtub with clorox bleach and cascade complete crystals that should help out a lot too just be careful not to get the bleach on you or any clothes that you dont want to be messy!
I do not have black tile, but I do have a beige colored tile, and Mr. Clean Magic Eraser worked really good for me. I went through a few of them but it honestly was the easiest and ther ewere no bad fumes from cleaning sprays.
I use a scum remover called The Works (in spray form for showers and tubs). All you have to do is spray.. let set for 30 seconds them wipe away the icky stuff.
It's the only thing I have found that works in my shower without having to scrub like a crazy person lol.
