Get you a good scraper with extra blades and a good putty knife.
I spray goo gone or goof off on the residue left on the windows from sticker's.let it work in a bit ,then use your scraper with a new blade in it and carefully scrape with the scraper. Then use window cleaner of your choice and wash the window .

Grout and drywall mud/compund on tubs and showers,i use a putty knife to knock it loose if i can't do it with my hands.
I also have a pot and pan scraper i use for scraping mud off tubs.
Its a hard plastic scraper i got at Walmart and its supposed to be for scraping food off pots and pans, but it works great for scraping things that will scratch easily. It was like $1.00 for a pack of 2 .
I also used it for scraping some paint off of linoleum too.

Drywall mud in bathrooms--I would knock off as much as possible with the tool suggested above and then use orange tuff. I get it concentrated in the gallon at the janitorial store. mix it a little strong, spray on, let it set a few minutes then wipe and rinse. In my opinion this stuff works very well for a lot of diff. things. smells good to.

Construction: From past experience I think the quickest and best way to handle drywall dust and mud is to perfom as much as you can in a dry setting. Great advice from Amity (AmOhio) use a plastic scraper first on as much of the area as possible, then brush down or hepa vac the walls and areas first to eliminate the dust and debris. Then a standard washing of the area with a mild chemical or detergent.

I have found that white vinegar help to break down the drywall from the tubs. I put it into a spray bottle at full strength, spray the tub, let it work for a while then it tends to just pop off. I sweep up all the loose stuff, then use water to wash the tub. The vinegar really helps and it is inexpensive also. Sure hope this helps.

Drywall mud what a pain. Let me tell you the best way to clean it scrape as much as possible out with a plastic putty Knife. Then take a peice of old carpet shag preferible and clean the rest works great. toilet bowl cleaner eats the mud and stucco off the windows or tubs. Have Fun!!!
