How To Maintain Your Bathtub The Right Way
It’s easy to maintain your bathtub but since bathtubs are
unlike hot tubs in that they’re located indoors and don’t
need chemical purification systems, it can be easy to
forget that bathtubs need some occasional TLC, too.
Here, we’ll show you how to properly maintain your bath-
tub so you can enjoy countless relaxing soaks for years to
come.
To take care of your bathtub, make sure to:
Give it a quick rinse after each use.
Spray it down with a gentle cleanser each week.
Flush out and clean its jets every month or so.
Scrub the entire tub each month.
Remove stains as necessary.
Let’s take a closer look at each of these steps so you
can learn how to keep your bathtub squeaky clean and
smelling fresh.
Rinse After Each Use
Although it may seem like you’re cleaning your bathtub
every time you use it, any soap, oils or bubble bath can
contribute to the nasty build-up of scum and slime in the
long run.
To avoid this, simply take a minute after each use to rinse
your bathtub with plain old water. It only takes seconds to
do, but it can save you a lot of cleaning time in the future.
If your bathtub is located underneath a shower, simply run
the shower for a few seconds. Or, if your bathtub is sepa-
rate from your shower, run the faucet and splash the water
around with your hands, or
use a spray bottle filled with
tap water.
No matter which rinsing method you choose, be sure to
get water on all of the bathtub’s exposed surfaces and
that will help maintain your bathtub for a long time.
