We clean ourselves in the bathtub, which gets dirty and needs to be cleaned to remove soap scum, limescale, mineral deposits, body oil, dust, and grime. It's difficult to clean ourselves or the kids in a dirty bath, so we need to maintain it clean. Ignoring a dirty tub makes cleaning it even more difficult. A regular bathtub cleaning routine can turn a semiannual one-hour job into a quick and simple 10-minute job every month. Cleaning your tub's soap scum will also help your grout and glass stay cleaner for longer.

Cleaning a Bathtub Step-by-Step
1. Fill up a bucket with hot water, and pour the water all over the tub. 2. Sprinkle baking soda on all tub surfaces. For extra-dirty tubs, use tub-and-tile cleaner instead. 3. Fill your bucket with a half-gallon of hot water and two tablespoons of dish soap. 4. Dip a scrub sponge or a stiff nylon brush into the bucket, and scrub all bathtub surfaces. 5. Use the bucket to periodically rinse out the sponge or brush and to transfer soapy water into the tub. 6. When cleaning especially dirty tubs or stains, sprinkle baking soda directly onto the sponge or brush after dipping it in your bucket solution, and scrub hard. 7. Once you’re satisfied and the tub looks clean, use the bathtub hand sprayer or the bucket to rinse the tub. 8. Finish up by polishing the tub faucet, drain and handles with a clean, dry cloth.
Is There Mold or Mildew in Your Tub?
Start the bathtub cleaning process by filling a spray bottle with hot water and four tablespoons of bleach if your tub has mold or mildew. Spray the damaged regions with this solution and let it soak in. Sprinkle baking soda throughout the tub while the bleach is soaking. Assume you've completed step one and are ready to move on to step three.

Bathtub Cleaning Tips
- If you’re also cleaning the shower wall tiles, save the tub for last. - Cleaning a tub shouldn’t be painful. Create a pad for your knees by folding a towel lengthwise several times. - Slow drain? Sprinkle four tablespoons of baking soda into the drain, followed by two cups of vinegar. Once the bubbling stops, flush the drain with boiling water. - Stubborn stain? Make a paste out of baking soda and water. Apply this to the stain, and let it set for a few hours. Wipe away the paste once it’s dry. - Keep your bathtub drain clean and clear with a mesh drain catcher.
