The most recurring theme around all of the cleaning remedies is that baking soda and white vinegar can be used in most of your house hold cleaning. On Saturday, I went to the store to do my bi-weekly grocery shopping and I loaded up on Baking Soda and Vinegar. How can you go wrong when a box of baking soda is .50?
On Monday I decided to give it a try. I mean seriously, if I attempt to clean my tub & shower with baking soda and it doesn't work I'm out a whopping 50 cents.
I covered the surface area with warm water.
Opened a box of baking soda.
Dumped baking soda all over the shower & tub.
Walked away & did something else for about 15-20 minutes.
Took a wet rag warmed it with water and proceeded to wipe.
Now here is a small disclaimer: I am embarrassed that my tub & shower have as much soap scum on it that it does. Cleaning it on a weekly basis kind of got left by the way side this past winter. I have since dug out my cleaning schedule and have started to get back on track. Each week I have been laboring over my tub/shower trying to get this dumb stuff off.
When I started to wipe off the baking soda all of that soap scum that has been built up for several months just wiped off clean! I couldn't believe my eyes. I sent my 6 year old to find my husband to show him how easy it was.
So there you have it...an overly long post on how baking soda removes soap scum and crud from your tub & shower. I would encourage each of you to give this a try. It is even safe for you to do. No more breathing in toxic fumes and hours of scrubbing & scraping.
What have you tried to make your cleaning a little easier?
Well, thanks for posting! My shower (which has not been scrubbed for several months also) will thank you after I try this out!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnother small disclaimer, you will need to use a little elbow grease, but it really does come off with a lot less effort than I have ever had rouse before. Let me know how it works for you when you try it! :)
