Now let's get down to the nitty-gritty of cleaning your bathtub!
- Start by pouring hot water into the bathtub and filling it up.
- If your tub is especially dirty, use a tub-and-tile cleaner instead. Then, sprinkle baking soda on all surfaces of the tub.
- In a separate bucket, mix two tablespoons of dish soap with a half-gallon of hot water. This will be your cleaning solution.
- Use a scrub sponge or a nylon brush to scrub all the surfaces of the tub.
- Use the bucket to rinse your sponge or brush periodically, and to transfer the soapy water to the tub.
- To really get the dirt out, dip your sponge or brush in the bucket solution, sprinkle baking soda directly on it, and scrub hard.
- Once you're satisfied with the cleanliness of the tub, rinse it thoroughly with a bathtub hand sprayer or a bucket of water.
- Finally, use a clean, dry cloth to polish the tub faucet, drain, and handles.
