I have a slate shower (never again), and with the hard water in Dallas, TX I find I soon have build up of a white mineral deposit in not only the grout lines of the slate tiles (bottom of the shower), but even the tiles themselves soon begin accumulating this white mineral build-up. I have tried 'everything' including wire brushes. Then I thought of using my muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid) used for adjusting pH of pools. Of course one needs adequate ventilation!!! But the mineral deposits foam away instantly and I simply turn the shower on and wash copious amounts of water for about 10 minutes to wash everything away.
