Spring is in the air, the birds are chirping, and all of a sudden you realize just how dirty your windows are. When you get out your rubber gloves and tackle your spring cleaning this year, do not forget about your bathroom and particularly your bathtub or shower. Giving your tub a good deep cleaning is necessary every once in a while and doing it right will leave you wanting to take a nice long bubble bath in your sparkling clean tub.
Bathtub and Shower Deep Cleaning Tips
- Clean the Grout - cleaning your tiles is one thing, but when the grout in between is filthy and dirty, it takes away from the whole effect. The best way to get your grout super clean is to mix a combination of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Mix together and apply with a grout brush by scrubbing into the grout.
- Clean or replace the caulk - this same mixture of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda can also get your caulk clean again, although if it is old and crumbly you should just remove the old caulk and re-caulk tub. This is really a very simple process, be sure to have a little cup of water handy to smooth out the caulk application with a wet finger.
- Clean that shower glass - it is amazing how quickly glass can start to look dingy from mineral deposits from water or constant exposure to soaps. Tainted shower glass will take away from the whole look of your tub and bathroom. Mix a combination of vinegar, dish soap and water to tackle that tainted shower glass.
- Upgrade your bathtub drain fixtures - once you get your tub and shower sparkly clean, any dingy or corroded tub fixtures will really stand out. It is easier than you think to replace a bathtub stopper, overflow plate or tub drain assembly without calling a plumber. Innovative tub repair products today like replacement stoppers from Watco make it easy for anyone to replace their bathtub drain fixtures.
