Cleaning the Bathtub
Try cleaning your bathtub area right after a hot shower or bath. The steam will have loosened any dirt or soap scum. Alternatively, run the shower on hot for a couple of minutes before cleaning.
Treat stubborn bathtub stains with a mixture of cream of tartar and hydrogen peroxide. By the time the paste dries, the stain should be gone. Alternatively apply the mixture and rub gently with a damp cloth. If the stain is still there, cover with more paste and then the damp cloth. Let stand over night.
A paste of borax and lemon juice can be used to rub away rust stains from the bathtub.
Rust stains may also be removed by taking a lemon dipped in salt, rubbing it in and rinsing it off.
Soap scum build up can be removed with vinegar.
Rubbing alcohol will clean the caulking around bathtubs. It also shines chrome and glass.
To remove mildew from the corners of the tub, dip cotton balls in bleach and let them sit. When you finish cleaning the bathroom, remove cotton and rinse bath tub thoroughly . The mildew should be gone.
To freshen or even unclog your drain, pour 1/4 to 1/2 box of baking soda down the drain, and add 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Cover drain tightly for a few minutes and flush with cold water.
Cleaning Bathtub Toys
Use a plastic colander to hold your child's bathtub toys. Scoop them out of the water, rinse them clean and then just leave in tub to drain.
Faucets & Fixtures
Wipe your chrome or stainless steel faucets and fixtures with rubbing alcohol to remove water spots and leave a wonderful shine.
Mild stains and film around faucets can be removed with baking soda.
