Scrub the Entire Tub Each Month
About every month (or every couple of weeks if you’re a
frequent bather), you’ll need to use some good old-fash-
ioned elbow grease to give your bathtub a thorough
scrub.
You can purchase a commercial bathtub scrubbing solu-
tion, or you can make your own.
Simply mix about a cup of baking soda with two three
tablespoons each of liquid Castile soap and hydrogen
peroxide. For extra scrubbing power, add a half cup of salt
or cornstarch.
Then, use a washcloth or scrubbing brush to work your
chosen scrubbing solution into all your bathtub’s surfaces,
paying extra attention to its grout, drain, faucet and jet
covers.
You’ll be left with a sparkling tub that’s completely free
from any mold, mildew, scum or mineral buildup.
Remove Stains as Necessary to Keep Your
Tub Clean
Even with regular cleaning and maintenance, your bath-
tub may start to develop some unsightly stains and discol-
oration over time.
To fight stains the natural way, simply spray down the stain
with a water-vinegar mixture (or undiluted vinegar if the
stain is particularly severe), then sprinkle baking soda on
top.
Once
the area has foamed for a few minutes, use a wash-
cloth or scrubbing brush to work the mixture into a paste.
Allow the paste to sit for about 15 minutes, wash it away
with water and repeat as necessary.
Alternatively, you can purchase a commercial stain remov-
er. To use it, just follow the instructions on the packaging.
While almost everyone dislikes cleaning their bathtub,
performing proper maintenance can reduce overall
cleaning time in the long-run and help your bathtub stay
spotless and beautiful for many years to come.
