Advice for cleaning things like bath and tiles

Options
I assume its germs but my bath and tiles around it turn a orange colour which I keep wiping off but comes back so quickly.

A second thing is best thing to wipe off sticky marks where my body sweat goes into wall in bedroom where I lie.

    The orange is a build up of soap

    You need to get into the habit of washing down your bath after every use - just use a cloth and the bath water, then once a week use flash or similier to give it a good clean

    I take it you don't have a head board on your bed and are resting against the wall?

    I'm afraid it's a case of clean body and clean clothes for bed

    The marks that are there already will come off with sugar soap if the wall is painted, wallpaper will be a whole different matter

    I have a head board But I like on my side against a wall so where I lie against is sticky, did try wiping it down with cream cleaner before but did little but make it a little less sticky.

    Also forgot to mention theres black sticky stuff where I stand in shower, I can use force and get most of it off and not make it sticky but still has black mark there but not as bad.

    That I'm afraid to say is a build up of your dead shin cells, dirt and soap

    Get yourself a bathroom cleaner, and spray it, then hands and knees and scrub it off with a cloth

    You really do need to get into the habit of cleaning the bathroom every time you use it. I clean my shower before I step out of it

    Your previous posting history makes it sound like you are finding keeping your home and yourself clean difficult and things have got on top of you. Perhaps starting with the bathroom and clean body and clothes for bed will give you the impetuous to tackle other areas, slowly but surely.

    I do clean it often as in wipe it down most times I am in it, and very clean just cluttered i.e I used to hoover multiple times a day now its when needed so maybe more than once a day if I spill somethime or have crumbs just as I am ocd with showering and spent 35 minutes on average in shower each time used to be over a hour till a few years ago,

    And people say I am so tidy they think no one lives in flat lol.

    Its just I am a clammy person.

    And i wash before bed and dont sleep in clothes lol
