I should have taken pictures and I thought about it, but then you would have seen my dirty secret behind the shower curtain.
Enjoy the cleaning tip:
Clean the
BathTub
The first step
to cleaning a bath tub is to remove all the toiletries and give it a good
rinse. This will get the surface wet while rinsing some of the hair and
things down the drain. If you have any deposits of soap or shampoo, try to get
rid of them with water. If you have a shower curtain, remove it and wash it
separately. If you have a cloth shower curtain and liner, wash it in a machine
on the delicate cycle. Dry it on low or no heat. Plastic shower curtain liners
have a tendency to disintegrate in the washing machine
The next step
is to sprinkle baking soda over the wet surface of the tub. The moisture from the rinse helps the baking
soda stick to the tub. Baking soda is an amazing cleaner, but it won't do much
of anything on its own. Use a stiff scrub brush to scrub the tub. The baking
soda will form a paste with the water and act as an abrasive to remove mildew
and stains. Use your elbow grease and scrub the dickens out of the tub.
After you have
thoroughly scrubbed the tub, dip a sponge with a green scrubby attached into
some vinegar and continue scrubbing the tub. The vinegar is a disinfectant, and it will
activate the baking soda to help remove stains even more. Thoroughly scrub the
whole tub, concentrating on any heavy build-up areas. You may want to use
gloves for this. Vinegar has a way of sticking with you.
Now give the
tub another rinse and look for any spots that you may have missed. Rinse the baking soda and vinegar off the tub
and see what sort of stains, if any, are left. Make sure to look closely around
the drain, faucet, and shelf areas were you store your shampoo and conditioner.
Filling a bucket with water to rinse the tub will be the quickest way to rinse
everything down the drain.
