Soaking yourself in the comfort of your bathtub is a wonderful way to get clean and relax after a long day. But you will need to get to cleaning your bathtub sooner or later.
Hard water stains, mildew, and soap scum can build up over time the more you use your bathtub. It’s up to you to keep it clean. After all, you can’t have a relaxing dip in a dirty bathtub.
Here are a few easy tips you can follow:
Wear gloves
It pays to wear some protection when it comes to cleaning your bathtubs.
Your tub could have a lot of bacteria and germs that would be dangerous to your health if you come into contact with them. Wear gloves to protect yourself as you get your hands dirty (but not really!).
Empty your tub
Get rid of any clutter that may be in your bathtub.
Bath toys, toiletries, or other objects such as loofahs should be out of your tub before you start cleaning it. They only get in the way of the more thorough work that needs to be done.
Prepare your bathtub for cleaning
Applying a bit of vinegar, baking soda, toilet cleaner, or bleach can bring the shine back to your bathtub. These items can help remove stains such as soap scum or dirt depending on what your bathtub is made of.
You just need to prepare a bucket of hot water nearby and a sponge to give your bathtub the total cleansing it deserves.
Scrub, rinse, and dry
Soak a sponge in hot water and use it to scrub your bathtub at every corner and side.
If you’ve done it right, your baking soda, vinegar, or cleaner should have settled by now and made it easier for you to remove all stains and odors from the tub.
Once you’ve thoroughly scrubbed the tub, rinse it with hot water and allow it to dry.
