Citric acid powder works well too. Its a mild, gentle acid and its non toxic. Edit: It is also a natural sanitizer

Thanks for all your vids Melissa, they have made a huge difference to my cleaning attitude! Do you have a system for cleaning an Airbnb rental top to bottom (as a host)? And How do you choose a cleaner when you are ready to hire for the job (home or rental unit). Thanks so much!

I bought your cloths and they’re great!!!

Thank you for this! I am a professional interior designer and I'm amazed at how many people think that bleach is the answer. Bleach for soap scum will damage grout and make it more susceptible to soap scum build up! Always use a soap scum cleaner instead!!!

I’m super tired and now I just have the bathtub thank you so much for the help I will make the mix now so exhausting but worth it

Good information, thanks.🛁

Do you have one for a really dirty oven? Yes I have done baking soda and vinegar, and dawn and elbow grease.

I wasn’t sure if this would work but I tried it and cleaned my bathtub a moment ago, it wasn’t cleaned in 1.5 years and had hard soap scum all over 😮 . . . Lo and behold my bathtub is freakin shiny and white now. It took about 30 minutes of good scrubbing and a lot of the vinegar / soap but it works. No bleach!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Thanks. I was just looking to try a different soap scum. I'll give it a try.

I've been using this recipe from Melissa for a while now and I love it. No store bought product will do.

I just don't get it that tub was already clean....

Do you have to use this cleaner all in one day or will it last weeks? How long will it be good for?

Been watching a number of these videos. So far the basic trick is liquid soap & vinegar. I hope it works bc I don't like using commercial soap scum cleaners------too many fumes.

Worked amazingly well for my dirty shower

How Many channels do you have??

There’s only synthetic vinegar available where I live. Is that the same or will it work the same?

A stainless steel cleaner please!

Hi, I have a travertine shower. Do you have any recommendations?

I don’t have essential oils. Any other ideas for the smell?

what escential oils do you suggest please? x

Where do you get those bottles??

What is the shelf life of this solution?

I tried this and it doesn’t work

I haven't cleaned my tub or shower in years! And they look like new! How often do you clean soap scum from the inside of your dish washer? How about from inside your washing machine? Correct, never. The best way to clean soap scum is never get it in the first place. Chunk all your bath soap and only use liquid soap. The main ingredient in bar soap is Sodium tallowate. Sodium tallowate is a true soap made by combining the fatty tissue (or tallow) of animals, such as cattle and sheep, with lye, typically sodium hydroxide". It's pure white animal fat that holds the soap in a clump. It sticks to the tile or tub and water will not run over it. Sits there and the water evaporates and leaves mineral deposits on the fat. Repeat a few times and you have "soap scum". Liquid soap or "detergent" holds oily skin residue in suspension and it washes everything away when you rinse. Just like your clothes or dish washer. Also an added benefit is that your drains will never clog up!!

For heavier soap scum buildup on shower tile should it be allowed to sit for a while before rinsing it off? I imagine that it may also be the case that more than one application might be needed?

Tried this and let it sit for 2 hours. Didn't remove any of the caked on soap scum.

I am sure I have seen a DIY electronics cleaner - TV, Monitor & Cell Screens, But I can't find it! Anyone remember it?

What DIY Cleaning Recipe should we do next?

I thought on Clean My Space she said to use baking soda and dish soap for soap scum 🤔 Now I'm confused 😭

Didn’t even touch the scum in our kids’ bathtub. Next!
