Bathroom cleaning

So I am finally getting a minute at work and I have a question. I have never been a big bathroom cleaner, I mean my bathroom is clean I just don't do it everyday, especially the tub, honestly I HATE cleaning the tub.  Well now that Morgan is old enough to take a bath in the big tub I need to try and rinse/clean it everyday. So my question is for those of you that are good cleaners, what do you use on your tub? Is it an everyday thing? Do you just spray something or do you actually scrub it everyday?

TIA

Re: Bathroom cleaning

  • I spray Method's Daily Shower Cleaner every day and then will do more of a deep clean about every week - week and a half.  I love the Method stuff, I have been using it for over a year and I think it does a pretty good job at keeping it clean in-between deeper cleans.

  • I don't know anyone who scrubs their bathroom or bathtub every day.

    I refuse to tell you the last time I cleaned my bathroom.  The one Gabe uses I clean like every other week or so.  I guess I don't understand why you would have to do it every day.  That being said, I use Green Works bathroom cleaner.  Works amazing, plus I don't worry about all the chemicals with a baby in the house.

    Yes

    And for the non-green side of me, Tilex Mold and Mildew is amazing.  I will also use Soft Scrub if I'm in a scrubbing kind of mood.

  • Honestly....baking soda! It gets the grime off and then spray down with vinegar to disinfect.  Inexpensive and non-toxic.

  • It's good to know that not everyone scrubs everyday.

    I will try that Method's and see if that helps as an everyday quick rinse.

  • Um, the only time I clean the tub is when I start to see the orange build-up from our water.....and then maybe a couple weeks later I get around to actually cleaning it.  How's that for honest?  :o)  And I use Scrubbing Bubbles, that stuff is freaking awesome!!  Although the fumes are pretty bad, so I'm sure it's very eco-UNfriendly.

    I'm sure you could get away with rinsing the tub after each bath, and cleaning it every week or two (?).

    I use a daily shower spray that I spray the shower with when I'm done.  But no scrubbing...just spray and go.

    I will do a deep clean every other week or so -- I mean getting on my hands and knees and scrubbing.  I keep up in between those cleaning with disinfecting wipes and whatever else as needed.

  • i don't know anyone who scrubs the tub every day. if they do they have a problem. it's a bathtub, you are washing in it, how dirty can it get in a week or so? plus, i would have to guess that cleaning the tub with chemicals everyday would be worse for a baby then having them bathe in a tub that hadn't been scrubbed in a week or two.

  • Just so everyone knows, I don't plan on scrubbing everyday!! ... I just have never been a big tub cleaner and now I feel I need to do more then just the every few weeks cleaning. So I was looking for a everyday spray for a quick clean / rinse kinda of thing and really see if I was gross for not cleaning more often.. ha

    ah, i think misinterpreted what you said.
    I went to town on the tub for the first time in i care to say when and then bought some of that spray stuff (tilex i think) and have been really liking it so far.

  • I use Tilex for any funky/pink spots. To get the tub clean I love the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for bathroom/tub. Its shocking how clean the tub gets. On a daily basis we spray the shower with the Method after shower spray it does a pretty good job.
