    We are getting older too and I have had many surgeries on my neck and shoulders over the years. My husband got me a Turbo Scrubber like you see on t.v. and it is a real work saver! I use the same soap I always use, but it really takes the "hard" out of hard work! We orders our online, but they sell them now in Walmart and probably other stores. It is also useful for many projects around the home. He scrubbed some rust off some ceramic, the tires on our car and many other things. Also we have 2 bathrooms like many homes today. I wish I had one of these years ago! They are right at $40 but worth every dime.

      My hubby has one. I'll use the vinegar and dish detergent suggested by Bijoux who also responded. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Get yourself a long-handled brush to clean the tub, they even make electrified ones. The cheapest is a toliet brush with holder from the Dollar Tree. You can also get one of their long-handled bath brushes.

    I saw this post, you can try this solution with a long handled brush or whatever you get/have. Good luck.
