How to Remove Soap Scum

How to remove soap scum from a bathtub

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Baking soda, scrub sponge, and water

1. Removing that soap scum on the shower walls as well as that dirt ring around the tub is not only frustrating, but at times, out right impossible. There is a solution, though, that is not only successful, but inexpensive as well. It is called baking soda!

2. The first thing to do is wet all the areas of the tub with water mixed with a little vinegar, if possible. Allow to set for at least ten minutes.

3. Taking a scrub sponge, apply baking soda directly to the scrubby part of the sponge and gently scour the walls. Rinse and repeat one more time. This will tackle the soap scum lingering on the walls.

4. To attack the ring of dirt around your tub, apply baking soda to the sponge and scrub in circular motion. This will be sure to break down the dirt build up and produce a clean tub. You may follow up with your regular bathroom cleaner of choice. Mission complete!

Tips & Warnings

• Use the baking soda method at least once a month for great continuous clean.
