Problem: Article: Wet a clean, soft cloth, like one made of microfiber, in warm water. Firmly wipe down all of your shower's stone tiles and the grout in between. This will make it easier for you to find and target more severe buildup and hidden stains. Soft clothes will be the gentlest on the finish of your stone. Rough fabric, over time, could cause the surface of your stone to pit or cloud. The narrow crevices between tiles and filled with grout are a prime location for buildup. Use a mild detergent, like dish soap, warm water, and a toothbrush to scrub the grouted cracks between tiles. Rinse the area thoroughly afterwards and repeat as necessary until the grout is clean. Because grout is often dirtier than the tile itself, clean the grout first to prevent it from spreading to the tile. Avoid using general grout cleaners when cleaning the grout of natural stone tile. These often have ingredients that can damage your stone. Stiff bristle brushes can harm the finish of your stone and cause scratches. Only use soft bristle brushes and soft cloths when cleaning. Mix together warm water and a couple drops of mild detergent, like dish soap. Stir the solution to distribute the soap. Dip a soft rag into the solution, wring excess liquid from it, and use it to wipe down the tiles. Rinse the tiles frequently as you do so. Soaps that are formulated for the natural stone used in your shower can be found at most hardware stores. Cleaners that are acidic can damage your stone tile. Only use cleaners that are pH neutral (a 7 pH rating), which should be indicated on the cleaner's label information. Using more soap isn't always better. Too much soap in your solution could result in streaks or a film remaining on the tiles after cleaning. Soap scum is a common problem and it can be difficult to remove. Cut through it with a solution of a half cup (237 ml) ammonia and a gallon (3.8 L) of water. Apply the solution to the tile with a clean, soft cloth. Using ammonia to clean your stone too frequently can negatively impact its appearance, causing it to dull. Stay on top of general cleaning to prevent soap scum from building up. This way, you'll only have to infrequently use ammonia. Avoid leaving cleaners on your stone for long periods of time, especially ones that can cause dulling or fading, like ammonia or hydrogen peroxide. Rinse the tiles thoroughly and then wipe them dry with a clean, soft towel.
Summary: Wipe away loose buildup and grime. Scrub grout with a toothbrush and a mild detergent. Clean the stone with a mild detergent or stone soap. Cut through soap scum with an ammonia and water solution. Dry the stone after cleaning.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you haven't already, take some time to study the basic structure and rules of the show you want to try out for. Having a working knowledge of how the game is played will make you more likely to emerge victorious. It will also allow you to focus on the task at hand without having to stop and think about what you're doing. For example, "Mental Samurai" is a hybrid trivia-physical challenge show that gives contestants 5 minutes to answer a dozen increasingly-difficult questions while being rotated 360-degrees at high speeds in a specially-designed capsule. Newer game shows sometimes put out open calls for contestants for their first broadcasts. In this case, it may be impossible to acquaint yourself with the rules or put together a sound strategy before your appearance. Game shows often use auditions or interviews to identify potential contestants who have what they're looking for. For competitive shows, your audition may take the form of a short test or mock round of gameplay. In other cases, you may simply be asked a few questions designed to make you think on your feet. Do your best to be ready for whatever the show's producers throw at you. Many game shows that choose their contestants from the audience "at random" actually conduct brief interviews with each member of the audience prior to taping. Auditions usually take place well before taping begins, and may be held somewhere other than where the show is taped. You'll learn more about the audition process if and when you receive a callback for your contestant application. Ratings are a game show's bread and butter, and producers are always looking for the most interesting, entertaining, or outlandish contestants. Whether you sport a funny costume, sing and dance in the line to get into the venue, or tell jokes that crack up the show's crew and audience members, being as entertaining as possible will help you make more of an impression on the people in charge of selecting participants. Think on your feet and do your best to offer witty, humorous, or amusing responses during your audition. If you can catch your interviewer off guard, you're as good as in. If your application is approved and you pass your audition, you'll have the chance to be featured as a contestant on your show of choice. The time between the final phase of your audition and your televised appearance could be anywhere from a few weeks to over a year, depending on the show's popularity and the number of other people who qualify. You're not guaranteed a callback, even if you successfully make it through your audition. It's not uncommon for game shows to recruit more contestants than they actually use in case of casting disputes, scheduling conflicts, or cancellations. Be sure to bring a book with you on the day of your taping. You could end up waiting 8-10 hours to be called onto set.
Summary:
Familiarize yourself with the format of the show. Make it through one or more rounds of auditions. Do something to make yourself stand out from other contestants. Be prepared to wait up to 18 months for a callback.
