My friend suggested using a high pH enzymatic cleaner for cleaning showers.
I know he likes and uses Grout Master, but I don't want to go to the dark side.

I have worked with him and he does a great job, so that I can duplicate the process I learned working with him, what high pH enzymatic cleaner would you recommend?

I'd say Cobbs Powermax, but I've already gotten one thumbs down from Mikey today. At 10.5 pH cleaner that barely qualifies as a high pH cleaner though.

I’ve noticed that enzymatic cleaners require more dwell time.
So…
Is it the enzymes or the dwell time?

I'm not sure, just what he uses, I'm wondering if it helps on the funky stuff that can grow in a shower.

I use GM from time to time and it always seems to work great when I need it. However like Damon mentioned Prochem Ultra Pac Extreme is always money! It's great on carpets and tile.

Are you guys talking about Groot Master? Tsunami is just as good. I don't think either one is enzyme, though.
Mark is one of the coolest and nicest guy in the industry, but GM is pretty damn good and seldom needs a grout brush. Where Tsunami does need to be scrubbed. Marks fragrances are second to non though.

I don’t have any scrubbing needs with either one

I'm not sure what value an enzyme adds to shower cleaning. They break down protein greases - slowly - but shower goo is mostly soap residue.

Maybe a chemist can enlighten me, but high pH/enzyme cleaning combos seem to work just as well when you leave out the enzyme.

I thought you should be using acids like CLR to cut through soap scum
