Cleaning Your Tub

Picture
Although you may think you bathroom tub is clean and soap scum-free, sometimes  rinsing out your tub after each use just doesn't cut it. Bleach and scrub your  tub with hot water at least every other week or every three weeks, depending how frequently the tub is used, to prevent scum and bacteria growth. First, remove all products, soaps and razors from the tub. Begin to rinse down your tub down  with hot water to help remove any stuck-on soap or shampoo. Spray the tub with  bleach, or any heavy bathroom detergent found in your local grocery store, and  let the chemical sit for 10 minutes.

Scrub all surfaces with an abrasive pad or  wash cloth. If necessary, rinse down the tub and repeat to remove stuck-on grime. For hard-to-remove soap scum, simply apply some dishwasher detergent to the area, let it sit, scrub, then rise.

Be Careful
When cleaning you bathroom tub, it is important to have proper ventilation. If  available, turn on your bathroom exhaust fan to help with air flow so the  cleaning chemical gases aren't concentrated in the room. If your bathroom lacks  ventilation, open a window nearby and place a fan in front of the window to help  air flow out. If necessary, leave the room every few minutes to get some fresh  air. Don't clean your bathroom without proper gear. You'll need rubber gloves,  an apron to protect your clothes from harsh chemicals and possibly a  handkerchief or mask to prevent inhalation of chemicals.
