How to clean bathtubs

 

Caulking

  • To clean the caulking around the rim of a bathtub, fill a trigger spray bottle with a solution of one cup bleach in a bucket of water, spray the caulking, wait 5 minutes, and wash clean. The bleach kills mold and mildew.
  • Clean the caulking around bathtubs by filling a spray bottle with Vodka, spray the caulking, wait 5 minutes, and wash clean. The alcohol in the vodka kills the mold and mildew.

 

Cleaning

  • To clean a bathtub, sprinkle baking soda on a damp sponge, scrub and rinse clean
  • To clean grease, grime and rust stains from the bath tub, fill the tub with hot water, add two tablespoons of dishwashing liquid, and let stand for about 10 minutes. Use an abrasive sponge to scrub any stains and then rinse clean with water. The phosphates in most dishwashing liquid will whiten even the dirtiest of baths.
  • For really tough grease stains or mineral deposits, put on protective gloves and spray stubborn spots on your bath with Oven Cleaner. Let set for 30 minutes, making sure the room is well ventilated. Scrub gently with an abrasive sponge and clean with warm water.
  • To clean the bathtub and let your kids have a blast at the same time, give your kids shaving cream to entertain themselves in the bath. They can use the shaving cream to draw on the tile walls, and when you wash the condensed soap off with water, the bathtub will be super clean.
  • To make cleaning mineral deposits from hard water from your bathtub easier, fill the bathtub with hot water, pour in four cups of white vinegar, and let sit overnight. The acid in vinegar breaks up the mineral deposits, making them easier to scrub off with an abrasive sponge.

 

Mildew

  • To remove mildew from walls, scrub with equal parts ammonia and water. Make sure the water is well venitlated and rinse clean with water.
  • To prevent mildew in a bathtub when you leave your home for a long time, pour unused cat litter in a flat box and place it in your bathtub.

 

Polishing

  • After cleaning your bathtub, rub Turtle Wax into the tub, tiles, and faucets with a soft cloth, buffing as you go along.

 

Rust Stains

  • To clean rust stains from a bathtub, cover the stains with Coca- Cola, let sit for one hour, and rinse clean. The phosphoric acid in the Coke removes the rust.

 

Spa Baths

  • To clean pipes and tubes in a whirlpool bath, fill the bathtub with enough warm water to run the whirlpool.Add 2 cups dishwashing liquid and run the system for 15 minutes, then drain the water. Refill with fresh water and run the system for 1 minute to rinse it clean.
