Reader Kay sent me this tub and shower cleaner recipe. I mixed a batch up and instantly fell in love with it. My tub, shower and vanity top are now as shiny and new looking as the day they were installed!
There are no harsh chemical smells while cleaning with this recipe and the color in it lets you know exactly where you sprayed and cleaned. Soap scum is gone without any vigorous scrubbing and you are left with a beautiful shiny, sparkling bathroom.
How to Make Tub and Shower Cleaner
12 ounces white vinegar
12 ounces liquid , blue dawn detergent As you can see from the picture I didn’t have blue Dawn, I used Gain instead.
Directions:
1. Heat vinegar in microwave until hot and pour into squirt bottle.
2. Add the Dawn soap. Put the lid on and gently shake to incorporate.
3. You now have a powerful cleaning product that will melt soap scum and tub and shower buildup, clean sinks, appliances and just about anything. Just spray it on, scrub, rinse and be amazed. For tough soap scum build-up, spray the mixture on and allow it to sit as long as overnight. Then, scrub and rinse.
Just made & tried! Love it! This is the cleanest my tub has been in a while and didn’t even have to use as much muscle to scrub & scrub! Thanks for sharing!
I’m so glad to hear you love this cleaner, Carla. It is my favorite and very cheap and easy to make. Thanks for taking time to comment.
Thank you so much for posting this recipe! I made it today as a total skeptic, and I got stains off my shower that have been there for three years that I thought were permanent! Amazing!
So glad to hear it worked for you! Isn’t it amazing how the stuff works.
Just made some of this up and cleaned my shower..worked wonders! It looks great!
I’m so glad to hear it worked wonders for you too! Amazing how 2 simple ingredients can do such a good job cleaning!
Please can you let me know what Dawn and Gain are …. what are they meant to clean? ‘cos we don’t get it in SA
Thanks
Dawn and Gain are dish soaps. Not the kind used in the dishwasher but the kind you use when you handwash the dishes. Hope that answers your question.
