  • I use one cup of warm vinegar and one cup of dish soap in a spray bottle. Spray down your tub and surround and allow to sit for at least one hour. After that hour, you should be able to wipe off the scum. Good luck!

  • Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 solution of Dawn dish soap and vinegar. Spray it on the tub and let it work. If they are tougher stains, you may have to scrub with a plastic scrubbie!

    Lysol Power BathroomCleaner in the blue spray bottle is great for removing soap scum. Scrub with a power scrubber, magic eraser, or scrub daddy.

    Wet & Forget Shower for weekly maintenance to prevent having to scrub in the future, but not safe for marble.

    If the tub is fiberglass, use only approved products. For porcelain, use Bon Ami cleanser or Bar Keeper's Friend. Comet cleanser works well on older porcelain tubs. Some of the newer ones will caution against cleaners containing bleach, which can damage the finish.
