How to Clean Your "Ring Around The Tub"

Have an annoying ring around the tub that you can't seem to get off ?? Here's something that has worked for me with two kids that love the dirt, and a husband that works in a sheet metal shop.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • A new soft sponge-NO SCRUBBER SPONGES
  • Softscrub W/Bleach

Step1
Dampen your new soft sponge. Make sure you ring it out though. You do not want it dripping with water.
Step2
Place the Softscrub (which can be found at your local grocery store for $2.99-$4.99) directly onto your damp sponge. Rub lightly onto ring in a circular motion leaving ring with a coat.
Step3
Let sit on the ring until entire ring is covered with coat of SoftScrub. Rinse sponge out, then wetten with HOT water and go back over ring lightly with only hot water on sponge in circular motion. Ring should come off effortlessly !!!
Rinse well

Tips & Warnings

  • Make sure you use HOT water on the sponge when going back over the ring
  • Use the SoftScrub with bleach. It's safe, I use it on my burnerless stove top, my kitchen counters, ect, and have had no problems with the product on anything.
  • Make sure tub is rinsed well when done before using for bath water.

on 7/28/2008 I love SoftScrub but I haven't tried using very hot water with it, now I definitely will. Thank you for a great tip.

on 7/27/2008 I actually had tried the baking soda also, but it wasn't working on my tub. So this is just another possibility !!
