Household Tip #36-Quick Cleaning
10:57 AMWashing Away Soap Scum
I use dishwashing detergent on any stubborn stain, whether it’s a burnt pan or grease stain on the stove. Dishwashing detergent is super-strong and is made to wash away grease on your dishes! It can tackle anything.
Here’s another example how dishwashing detergent will solve a problem quickly!
What You Will Need:
Bleach
Dishwashing Detergent
Water
Old rag
1) Clear away all shampoo bottles, bars of soap, etc. from tub.
2) Squirt about 2 T worth of detergent on most affected areas. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
3) Using a damp rag, scrub detergent away. Rinse several times.
4) Pour two capfuls of bleach over affected areas and let sit.
5) Scrub with damp rag.
6) Voila!
No excuses for a dingy tub during your next Open House!

Thanks for stopping by- & they great tip! UGH- guess I have to go clean my tub-LOL.
ReplyDeleteThat's an impressive little tip! Is that detergent and bleach combo pretty strong? Meaning, I should probably keep the kids away while doing this, no? Nice tub, by the way!
