I have a shower in my apartment with a pretty dirty base. I'd love to give it a real good cleaning, I haven't tried much yet, but I think the best strategy would be to determine the material of the base and then learn about cleaning that material.
- What can I do to determine the material?
- Does it even matter, is there some kind of cleaning solution I can use no matter that material?

It looks like terrazzo, but it's really hard to tell the details. Stone chips are easy to identify, the material between them is tricky. It can be:
Terrazzo is known to be made with both of these, and it is not possible to tell them apart just by looking on photos. So you probably need to ask for cleaning fluid safe for both.
It's tempting to assume resin because it's shower, but I did see concrete-based terrazzo in bathrooms, too.
