When you’ve got a tile shower stall, the gap between the walls & pan should always have a bead of silicone. If it doesn’t, or it gets moldy or cracked, the pan has absorbed some water. This one had about 2 quarts of water that I had to blow out of the seam.

Polyclean to the rescue! I never recommend anyone to glaze a tub unless it’s absolutely necessary. This one is in a rental & wasn’t terrible… I mean, it definitely has seen some better days, but it’s clean now.
