When it comes to housework, one of the chores we always leave to the end or do poorly is cleaning the bathtub. Over time, it becomes encrusted with dirt, scale, moisture marks, and soap scum, to the point where removal becomes an almost impossible task. Don’t wait any longer; this is a nest of bacteria and fungi!

Remember that the bathroom, next to the kitchen, requires the most attention and that if you do not carry out an optimal hygiene routine -including cleaning carpets-it encourages the growth of mold and harmful bacteria to health. Fortunately, in this article, we show you how to clean a very dirty bathtub quickly and easily with a couple of highly effective home tricks.

How to clean a bathtub with a lot of scales?

There are excellent chemicals for cleaning bathroom objects, including the bathtub, but if we are not careful, the combination of some of them can be toxic and lethal both for the surface of the bathtub and for our health. That is why the ideal is to resort to more natural and less dangerous methods, which, in addition to being equally effective and more affordable, are also environmentally friendly.

cleaning bathtub rust stains

Generally, one of the first causes of toilet and bathtub enamel deteriorating and looking terrible are the minerals that travel through water, including lime and iron. So, pay attention and learn how to remove stains and disinfect safely with baking soda, lemon and vinegar. Go for it!

  1. The first step is to check the bathtub for moisture, remove any debris on top of it, and sweep all dust and accumulated hair. This step is important, as this dirt could clog the pipes if you are in the habit of letting them run with the water.
  2. Next, it is time to clean the bathtub with vinegar and baking soda. Sprinkle the baking soda on the surface and spray vinegar over it with a spray bottle.
  3. Leave this combination on for 45 minutes for it to penetrate well and take effect.
  4. Finally, rub with a soft sponge with more insistence on the most encrusted dirt and rinse with warm water.

Is it possible to clean a yellowish bathtub? Yes, it is!

If you want to clean an old bathtub that has yellowed over time, a very easy and inexpensive solution is worth trying: citric acid. You can use it as a powder diluted in a glass of water or naturally by squeezing the juice of some lemons. Follow these steps:

  1. Prepare a cleanser with the juice of three lemons, a little water, and three tablespoons of salt.
  2. Once this is done, use one of the squeezed lemon halves to scrub the entire bathtub, mainly in the most stained area. Leave on for 30 minutes and remove with plenty of lukewarm water.
  3. As an extra step, after disinfecting with lemon, wash the bathtub as usual using neutral liquid soap.

If you prefer to use chemical cleaners such as ammonia, bleach, or hydrogen peroxide, we recommend that you always wear rubber gloves to avoid damaging the skin on your hands. Also, avoid mixing substances such as bleach with ammonia or other natural products, as this combination could release harmful gases responsible for dangerous intoxication.
