It just occurred to me that my hubs has been using a new concoction for a few months now that may not have been posted here before--if it has, please forgive me.
Hubs is the designated tub and shower cleaner at our place. He read online about a mixture of 1 part vinegar to 1 part Dawn dish soap being an excellent soap scum and hard water stain remover, but we don't buy Dawn. So he tried it with Sunlight instead, and being the cheapskate (er, frugal guy) he is, he went with 2 parts vinegar to 1 part Sunlight dish soap. The original instructions also said to heat the vinegar first, but this he also ignored.
He was very pleased with his first use of the new cleaner, as we have very hard water (our water source is a river that begins at a Rocky Mountain glacier so has a lot of minerals dissolved in it) and one spray-down plus gentle wipe-down about half an hour later made both our tub and our stand-up shower sparkly clean.
He has used it every couple of weeks for a couple of months now and still loves it. The smell after cleaning isn't objectionable, although the scent of lemony Sunlight and vinegar mixed together is a little unusual--more vinegary than soapy. No idea what the Dawn mixture would smell like.
So, if you have hard water or trouble with soap scum I recommend giving it a try
