Magic Bathroom Cleaner...seriously

So lately I have shared this advice with quite a few people and everyone seems so surprised so...

You know all that nasty bumpy yuck known as soap scum that accumulates on your fiberglass bathtub that requires all kinds of scrubbing to get rid of? I have found a mixture that seems to work quite well and does not require a ton of scrubbing with a brush. Here it is:

1) Close the curtain and let the shower run HOT for about 3 minutes, just enough to get it really hot and steamy in the tub

2) Spray the entire tub, walls, sides, bottom with Scrubbing Bubbles. A can usually lasts me about 6-7 cleanings.


3) Let it sit on the surface of the tub for about 1-2 minutes.

4) Take a Magic Eraser (they really are magic) and start scrubbing/wiping. You still have to put some muscle into it but not nearly as much as using a brush with a useless cleaner.

5) You know the nasty is gone when your hand and the Magic Eraser runs smoothly over the tub surface with no bumps. If there is scum, the Eraser gets stuck and hard to push

Let me know how it works out for you. Do you have a better method that you use to clean your tub?

PS~ Don't lean into the tub and inhale while spraying the tub down. Pull your shirt over your mouth or hold your breath, spray and walk away a few times. That stuff will give you a headache in a heartbeat.
