Here's an alternative to the expensive daily shower cleaners. I am a Tilex user and this idea seems much better to me. Plus, it's a whole lot cheaper.
Daily Shower Cleaner
In a 32 oz. spray bottle, pour in 8 oz. of rubbing alcohol then 24 oz. of water. After each shower, spray the walls and shower curtain. You won't have to rinse. For general shower cleaning, here's a good idea
Shower Cleaner
Mix equal parts-
water
vinegar
rubbing alcohol
Add a drop or two of liquid dishwashing liquid.
Pour into a spray bottle.

DAILY SHOWER SPRAY (makes 1/2 gal.)
Use an empty 1 gallon container to mix the solution. Use:
1/2 cup "Arm & Hammer Washing Soda" (find in store by laundry soaps) - put in empty gallon container
1 quart hot (from tap) water - add to A&H Washing Soda; shake to disolve
1 quart cold (from tap) water - add to mixture (in gallon container)
1/2 cup white (clear) vinegar - add to mix (in gallon container)
Give a few last shakes to combine. Pour into spray bottle for use in the shower.

Bryan's recipe works great. If you want to make it up ahead of time, leave out the hydrogen peroxide and make a gallon of base solution from:
3 C rubbing alcohol
1 Tbsp dish detergent
4 Tbsp rinse agent (e.g. Jet Dry)
3 Qt water
To fill a 32 oz. spray bottle add 2/3 C hydrogen peroxide and fill with base solution. For a 24 oz. bottle use 1/2 C peroxide and top off.

I've used this on our new shower for years: works great!
for a 24-oz spray bottle:
1/2 c rubbing alcohol
1/2 c hydrogen peroxide
6 drops Dawn dish detergent
1 capful (about 2 tsp) Jet Dry
fill to 24-oz with water (distilled or purified if you have it)
Don't make up a big batch to refill because the H2O2 doesn't last very long and turns into good-old H2O. The H2O2 dissolves proteins (like sloughed skin and body fluids - yeech!), the alcohol and Dawn dissolve oils, the Jet Dry suspends the minerals.
