Bathtub, how to clean it effortlessly: with just a few drops it looks like new
Effortlessly Clean Your Bathtub: Just a Few Drops for a Like-New Shine!
A sparkling clean bathtub doesn’t have to involve hours of scrubbing. With a simple homemade solution using a few everyday ingredients, you can remove soap scum, stains, and grime effortlessly. Here’s the trick:
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons liquid dish soap (cuts through grease and grime)
- 1 cup white vinegar (disinfects and removes stains)
- 1/2 cup baking soda (for gentle scrubbing and deodorizing)
- 1 cup warm water
- Optional: A few drops of your favorite essential oil for a fresh scent
How to Prepare the Solution
- Heat the white vinegar slightly (don’t boil it). Warm vinegar works better on stubborn stains.
- Mix the warm vinegar with the dish soap in a spray bottle.
- Add the baking soda gradually to prevent fizzing overflow.
- Pour in the warm water and shake the bottle gently to combine.
How to Use It
- Spray the Tub: Generously spray the solution over the entire surface of the bathtub, focusing on stained or grimy areas.
- Let It Sit: Allow the solution to sit for 10–15 minutes. This gives it time to break down soap scum and loosen dirt.
- Wipe or Scrub: Use a soft sponge or cloth to wipe away the grime. For tougher spots, use a non-scratch scrub pad.
- Rinse: Rinse the tub thoroughly with warm water to remove any residue.
Why This Works
- Dish Soap: Cuts through grease and soap residue effectively.
- Vinegar: Natural disinfectant and stain remover that dissolves hard water deposits and soap scum.
- Baking Soda: Gentle abrasive that removes dirt without scratching surfaces.
Quick Maintenance Tip
To keep your tub looking new, use this solution once a week. For daily maintenance, wipe the tub dry after each use to prevent buildup.
With just a few drops of this homemade cleaner, your bathtub will shine like it’s brand new, saving you time, effort, and money!
