Bathtub Cleaning
Is your bathtub hard to clean?
Stubborn stains don’t seem to go away after wiping and scrubbing?
Well you are in good company. A lot of people ask me these questions over and over.
So, here is the scoop. You can do a very good job of getting that tub white and bright.
Materials:
Abrasive cleaner like Ajax or Comet (recommended for tubs with heavy deposits)
Scotchbrite® pad
Sponge
Single edge razor blade with blade holder
Start by wetting the surface with warm water
Sprinkle the cleaner on the tub
Scrub tub with Scotchbrite® pad, reaching all corners, inside walls, bottom and outside.
Allow to penetrate for 5-10 minutes
Using razor blade tool, scrape all yellow/brown deposits, especially under soap dish, at corners, back wall and bottom of tub, use this tool with care to avoid injuries or breaking the blade, but do use it. You’ll be amazed at how much soap is removed from the tub’s surface by the scraping action of the sharp blade, change the blade if necessary and try to go over the whole tub, this step is very important as it helps remove most contaminants including soap, paint drops and caulking spills.
After removing all dark spots you’ll notice right away how much cleaner your tub is, you can apply cleaner if needed and you can rinse the tub with clean water.
The same applies for tile cleaning, the only additional step is treating the grout with mild acid cleaner like diluted phosphoric acid masonry cleaner available at your local hardware store.
Now, a tub’s surface that won’t come clean after the procedure above has most likely been ignored and abused for several years, cleaned with too-strong acids and is probably a good candidate for refinishing, see our website for more information about that.
This is Orlando Salazar wishing you …Happy scrubbing! Good luck.
