My hubby is an after hours grease monkey so our shower can be a challenge to clean. After trying lots of different products I found the best cleaner is simply 1-1/2 cups of "hot" white vinegar, 1/4 cup of Dawn dish soap and some baking soda. A 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup makes heating the vinegar in the microwave for a few minutes a snap and then add the soap. Pour the mixed solution into a heavy duty spray bottle, wet the shower/tub with water, sprinkle baking soda on the floor and spray the mix onto the surface. Lightly scrub the floor first then walls (the baking soda will eventually get to the walls as you scrub) and let it set for about 30 minutes, scrub again as necessary. Rinse with cold water (to minimize suds) and it's sparkling clean! I also tried a few different brushes through the years and found an automotive brush that has nice bristle firmness, shaped head with rounded edges that have a bumper and length handles for me (of course, it's all trial and error). BTW, vinegar is acidic and should never be used on surfaces like marble or granite.

The shower looks great! I keep a dishwasher sponge filled with a couple drops of Dawn, a few tablespoons of peroxide, a few tablespoons of isopropyl alcohol, a teaspoon of Rinsaid, and water. It's amazing at cutting soap scum and hard water spots, but also leaves a nice shine. I have to say, you have the best intro music of any KZfaq tutorial I've ever seen. 🎉

@seriouslyreally5413 11 ай бұрын

👍its my old old granny trick. Its not "dirt," Its hard water residue, calcium and mineral deposits that build up on the fiberglass and acrylic shower pans. the Textured dots on the floor causes the water to cling to the floor where it evaporates slowly leaving the hard water scale. "CLR " cleaner ( not the bathroom foam spray but the hard water scale remover in the grey bottle) poured on the area full strength and allowed to remain for about 2 hrs will dissolve the build up. Or DISTILLED WHITE VINEGAR is cheapest, but takes longer. The secret is keeping the treated area wet with the cleaner while it's working to dissolve the build up. (The CLR is a gel and doesn't evaporate as quickly.) Or you can soak a dish towel dripping wet with the distilled white vinegar and cover it with plastic to keep it wet and let it soak over night. I use the vinegar to de-scale the showerhead too. Unscrew it and soak it in a bowl of straight vinegar overnight. Use a nylon brush to clean out the spray holes of the loosened crusty calcium, rinse and reattach.

@sherimowery3251 10 ай бұрын

That looks amazing! I will try this on my tub. Just in case anyone doesn’t know…I read not to use vinegar on tile grout because it dissolves the seal and then it will get dirty very quickly. But I use Hydrogen peroxide and a grout brush with good results. I need to reseal the grout as well.

@slab817 11 ай бұрын

The paper towel strategy works on caked up oven surface grease as well, but ammonia is the agent used instead of vinegar. Also putting saran wrap or some kind of thin plastic tarp over the paper towels keeps the liquid from evaporating so it dwells on the crud even longer.

$1.25 Store (formerly known as the $1 Store) has Lime Away toilet gel. That stuff works in minutes. Squirt some out on the tub. Use a scrub brush to scrub it in and spread it around. Wait 5 minutes. Get the scrub brush nice and wet and scrub over it again. Rinse. If the tub is heavily soiled let the second scrubbing soak for another 5 or so minutes. Scrub again and rinse if the tub is clean. If not, repeat the scrubbing. I do my tub once a week and it takes less than 10min to get it spotless and shiny.

nope, I've used the same distilled white vinegar I use for making pickles (4-5% acetic acid) and it works just fine if used full strength and allowed to soak overnight. The secret is soaking a towel with the vinegar and keeping the towel application wet with the the vinegar the whole treatment time. 30% vinegar solutions are very astringent and are less safe to have around the house. You need to wear rubber gloves in handling it. I use it to kill weeds.

Toilets are made of porcelain, you have what looks like a fiberglass shower pan. Using a harsh cleanser meant for porcelain on it is a bad idea. After soaking the area in vinegar like you did, try using a little baking soda on a clean, damp sponge rather than an abrasive brush. It's going to clean as well but won't leave micro-abrasions on the surface.

@quesomom5437 11 ай бұрын

I hear ya and agree, but I bet after 19 years of trying to clean that pan, he has already scratched the heck out of it! It this point those scratches will need the micro fine particulate cleaners such as baking soda, Bar Keeper's Friend, or Mr. Clean Eraser.

@montamiddleton9318 9 ай бұрын

If you had listened he also said using harsh cleaners and brushes or sponges, like Mr Clean miracle sponges will leave tiny scrapes on the pan making dirt nearly impossible to remove from the areas scrubbed to hard. Dirt will get in the tiny crevices and stay there.

So just be sure to test if you think it might get on those items. But his shower looks great. But it seems like a lot of work.

I had a tub with a textured bottom. I had no problem keeping the walls and tub clean but as the years went by the bottom was becoming ever more dingy. Once, I wanted to take a bath but I had no hot water. So I started boiling water; four pots at a time. I began noticing something in the tub which intensified each time I added more boiling water. Anyway, before you start scrubbing, you might want to try that. It may just cut down your scrubbing time.
