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:
-
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. -
Sprinkle Baking Soda:
Generously sprinkle baking soda all over the tub, focusing on areas with visible stains, soap scum, or discoloration. -
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. -
Let It Sit for a Minute:
Allow the baking soda to sit for about 1-2 minutes to break down dirt and mineral buildup. -
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.
