How to Remove Soap Scum With Soap
by

Easy
Soap scum is inevitable but you don't need a special chemical just to get rid of it. All you need to get rid of soap scum is hot water, dish soap, and a scrubber.
Fill the tub with hot water until the water line is just above the soap scum line or just a few inches and a squirt of soap.
Let the water soak/sit for an hour or so.
Drain the water until an inch or two remains and add another squirt of dish soap.
Scrub away the soap scum and rinse.
For a stand up shower, clean it after showering as that will act as the "soaking period." The steam will loosen up the soap scum making it easier to remove. Use a bowl to hold the hot, soapy water and easily scrub away the scum.

I find that if you use body wash you don't get soap scum. And I use the dish wand with dawn and vinegar for quick clean and in-between cleanings
