I need to know how to remove the knobs on bathtub fixtures to clean. They are nasty and I’m not sure how to take them off. Thank you. Ginger Shelley

Spray them with vinegar or CLR. What type of knobs do you have?
There are a couple of ways that holds them on. With one type the knobs will have some kind of trim piece covering the screws. Many times they are marked with a ‘H’ or a ‘C’. They can normally can be popped off using something sharp such as a utility knife or a pocket knife. Once the trim is removed the screws should be right there staring you in the face.
The other type has a recessed screw in the side. With these you just remove the screw.
Below are pictures of both types.
