How to clean bathtub with arthritis in hands
+3
Any hints at how to clean bottom of bathtub with bad arthritis in thumbs and wrists? I cannot put any pressure on anything to clean. I have tried different brushes but cannot use them. Would like suggestions.

If you've never tried Mr. Clean's Miracle Eraser it is far superior to most brushes for cleaning. It takes repeated motion, like an eraser, but it doesn't require pressure.

Take one of those dish sponges with a handle for dish soap. fill with 1/2 dish soap 1/2 vinegar rub over tub. Cleans it easily. I also keep a magic sponge on the edge of my tub and rub it over bad spot while I'm taking a bath. Magic sponges have no chemicals in them.

I have found that sprinkling a generous amount of comet cleanser on the area and then a gentle spritz with water just barely enough to turn the powder blue and then leave it overnight, the next day just rinse. Those magic eraser's are a miracle, but you still need to scrub. I don't know why this works, but it does. I had a white porcelain kitchen sink and this was the only way to get it clean.

use your feet instead and push a rag with cleaner on it...when you use the tub dry after and it will stay cleaner longer

@1 result is available, use up and down arrow keys to navigate.Edie ManringThank you, I cannot hold myself over the bathtub with one hand and scrub with the other. My wrist will not hold me, and I cannot just bend over and scrub without balancing myself. I will try this.

Sherrill Szumik has the best answer. I squeegie out my shower every time I use it and only rarely does it need cleaning; then, only around the door track, and the bottom edge.
