How to Deep Clean a Bath _ Cleaning Tips _ The Home Depot

Your bath should be a place to relax , but it can be difficult if your tub looks and feels dirty .

However most bathtub services can be easily cleaned using products you probably already have around the house .

Here's a list of what you'll need to give your tub a really deep clean before getting started , clear all toiletries from the area and slip on latex gloves to protect your skin when using dish soap or baking soda , scrub the tub working from the top down .

So the debris falls into the tub as you clean , wipe away dirt and spills with a microfiber cloth to remove tough grout stains , scrub a mixture of baking soda and vinegar using a small narrow brush .

This works well for all the little nooks and crannies around the tub too .

For stubborn stains like soap rings use lemon juice and a mild cream cleanser .

Once you've thoroughly cleaned in the tub , it's important to rinse the area really well , then wipe completely dry with a microfiber cloth to avoid streaks .

Don't overlook bath fixtures while doing a deep clean .

Get that light new shine by soaking them in vinegar about a half hour later .

Wipe the fixture down with a clean dry cloth and allow the spots to come right off .

Lastly , if your bath water is slow to drain , you may have a clog .

Now is a good time to deal with it .

You flush it , pour a half cup of baking soda and a half cup of white distilled vinegar into the drain .

Let the mixture sit several minutes , then pour a picture of hot water into the drain to flush the cloth to help keep your bath fresh in between deep cleans .

Rinse , well , wipe away excess moisture and let the area thoroughly dry between each use .

Keeping your bathtub clean and sanitized will not only leave it sparkling , it'll keep everyone using it happy and healthy .

Too good luck .
