Introduction

Keeping your bathtub spotless can sometimes feel like a daunting chore, especially if you want to avoid harsh chemicals like bleach. But what if I told you that you can get your tub gleaming clean in just 5 minutes using only one simple, natural ingredient? This quick and easy method is safe, eco-friendly, and incredibly effective — perfect for a fast weekend refresh or a quick touch-up before guests arrive.


Ingredients:

  • Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) — just one ingredient!


Preparation:

  1. Wet the Bathtub Surface:
    Start by wetting the entire bathtub surface with warm water. This helps the baking soda stick and activate on the grime and soap scum.

  2. Sprinkle Baking Soda:
    Generously sprinkle baking soda all over the tub, focusing on areas with visible stains, soap scum, or discoloration.

  3. Scrub Gently:
    Using a damp sponge, cloth, or soft brush, scrub the baking soda into the tub surface in circular motions. Baking soda acts as a mild abrasive that loosens grime without scratching your tub.

  4. Let It Sit for a Minute:
    Allow the baking soda to sit for about 1-2 minutes to break down dirt and mineral buildup.

  5. Rinse Thoroughly:
    Rinse the tub thoroughly with warm water to wash away loosened dirt and excess baking soda, revealing a fresh and sparkling surface.


Serving and Storage Tips:

  • No special storage is needed since you’re only using baking soda. Keep a box handy in your bathroom for quick cleaning sessions.

  • After cleaning, dry the tub with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots and keep your tub shiny longer.

  • For regular upkeep, repeat this process weekly or biweekly.
