Before you clean the bathtub, put on rubber gloves.
Spray all-purpose cleaner on the walls above the tub.
Allow the cleaner to sit a few minutes, then rinse or wipe it off.
Remove mildew from grout by using a tile cleaner.
Apply the tile cleaner to the grout with a grout brush and scrub thoroughly.
Rinse well.
Apply a heavy-duty bathtub or all-purpose cleaner to a tub coated in enamel, the most durable of bathtub materials. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes, then scrub with a scrub brush using gentle pressure. Rinse well.
Scrub away the remaining soap scum with a scrub brush or an old toothbrush. When scrubbing, pay special attention to the corners of the tub and the area around the drain, where soap scum and dirt tend to build up. Also, look for evidence of a bathtub ring, the ring of dirt and stains that forms around the edges of the tub, which will require extra time and scrubbing.
Rinse again.
Apply a nonabrasive bathroom or bathtub cleaner if the tub is acrylic, which can scratch easily. Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush. Rinse the tub well.
Apply a specialized fiberglass cleaner or a nonabrasive bathtub cleaner to a fiberglass tub. Scrub gently with a sponge. Rinse well.
