Let the vinegar sit for 10 to 20 minutes and then wipe with a clean sponge or cloth. Avoid using abrasive pads that could mar the tub's surface. Just let the vinegar do its job. A heavy buildup of hard water deposits may require a second application of vinegar. Use vinegar on the sink and bathroom fixtures to make them sparkle like new.
