How often should I...

How often should I scrub/clean my bath tub?

Re: How often should I...

  • I scrub once a week and we use a daily shower spray after each time the shower is used. Works for us!

  • I scrub ours once a week usually. Sometimes I miss a week, though. It is just the two of us, so it doesn't get too bad. 409 and a scrubber sponge are my favorite! Cuts right through the soap scum!

    I do this also. Although sometimes it's closer to 2 weeks but the daily spray helps keep it clean.

  • I scrub once a week using Scrubbing Bubbles and we use a daily shower cleaner. The daily shower cleaner makes a huge difference in how hard it is to clean the shower at the end of the week.

  • About every other week with Soft Scrub with bleach and a scrub brush.  Since it is just the two of us, this is really all I need.  Even at that, it doesn't get too bad.

    I noticed that when we use some soaps, it may need to be cleaned sooner- like every week.  Depends on if there is soap scum or not.   

  • Weekly. I also do a wipe down 1-2 times a week but we have a dirty preschooler that takes baths. The downstairs bathroom we don't use the shower or tub so I clean it once a month, if it needs it I will rinse out any dust in between.

  • It's just DH & myself so only 1x a week for us.  Although, when we start to have kiddos taking baths (only have 1 full bathroom), I imagine this may get bumped to 2x a week depending on the mess.

    Try a cleaner that says "no scrub" like Comet gel cleaner or Oxy.  Our tub is older & is all tiled walls, so I just spray a generous amount covering the whole tub + walls and then throw on the exhaust fan and walk away for 30 min.  When I come back to it, all I do is wipe it down with a sponge.

  • I do the bathroom weekly, but specifically the tub/shower every other week. We don't have hard water, so no rust, little soap scum and our major issue is, honestly, mildew in our not-well-ventilated bathroom.
