Step 1: Cleaning Materials Preparation

The reason is that you are expected to find all that you need at the very beginning. This is time saving and it does not complicate the process. A non-abrasive cleaner or a homemade solution (i.e. baking soda and vinegar), a sponge or soft scrubbing brush, a microfiber cloth, rubber gloves, warm water is all you will need. Moreover, a bath cleaner can be hired as a special cleaner in case of a difficult-to-clean stain in the bathtub.

It is necessary to select the appropriate tools since harsh scrubbers may damage the surface particularly when you are using an acrylic or fiberglass tub. The soft method is the best way to be able to clean and also not to damage. You can also hire cleaning professionals for the best and most expert results.

Step 2: Wash the Tub

Start by washing the bathtub with warm water. This action is used to loosen dirt, soap, residue as well as surface debris making it easier on the part of the cleaner to work. You could either use a hand held shower head or just splash on with a bucket of water.

Rinsing also makes the surface ready allowing your cleaning solution to infiltrate better. Omitting this step can cause you to work more later by scrubbing harder which is tiresome and less productive.

Step 3: Wipe With the Cleaning Solution

It is time now to put on your cleaner. In case of a store-bought product, spray it all over the surface. To use natural solution, sprinkle the baking soda on top of the tub and spray the vinegar on it to get a gentle fizzing effect which removes grime.

Clean the place that tends to accumulate dirt typically corners, due to the drain, and throughout the edges. Allow the solution to rest 10-15min. This waiting period is very important because it enables the cleaner to work out the soap scum, stains and mineral deposit without over scrubbing.

Step 4: Cleanse Effectively, Though Uncivilized

After the cleaning process is finished, then scrub the tub with a soft brush or sponge. Circular movements are to be worked in and special care is to be taken of discolored or stained spots. With hard to remove marks, you may need to add some more cleaner and scrub one more time.

It is only good to keep in mind that consistency is not about the application of force. The dirt will be removed by scrubbing with the proper cleanser without having to scrap off the finish on the tub. This is where you will start to sense the change, your bathtub will gradually be returning to its clean and fresh look.

Step 5: Rinse and Dry with a Blingy Finish

As you are secure with the scrubbing, switch on the bathtub under hot running water. Cleaning should always be wiped and all the residual cleaning must be removed otherwise it might leave behind streaks or coating.

Finally wipe the tub with a microfiber cloth. This is not only making it shine, but also it prevents water spots and streaks. Using the right towel also makes a big difference, and understanding why microfiber towels can help you achieve even better, streak-free and lint-free results. Another detail, which is not paid much attention to, though, can help a lot to get the polished professional finish, that is drying. Professionals can also be hired for the expert cleaning of bathtub.
