Try these  people, I did their course and it was pretty good. They also supply special cleaning solutions. You will need the alkali cleaner for body fats etc and acid for limescale.

Its a lot of work so about twice the price of carpet cleaning.

We were asked to go and clean our local hockey club showers last year.

Evidently the girls were complaining about the state of them!

We used a product by a firm called Clover and its called Breaker. Comes in 5l or 1l. Its brilliant, sticks to the walls as its quite thick so you can scrub all the cr@p off,or you can dilute it as required.

For the floor we used a polyprop scrubbing brush on a long aluminium pole that really gets into the grout (get 1 from janitorial supplier) and then a floor scrubber with a green pad on to agitate.

Remember to use a circuit breaker on the machine as you are in a wet area, mask and gloves because its an acid (hydrofloric/chloric).

And just rinse it down the drain.

Re the sx12 on the link I am looking to get 1 imported from the States at the moment but no real success, any ideas any one?
