My grandma taught me this trick to clean the bathtub in just 2 minutes with zero effort. Here’s how to do it

Ingredients

• Baking soda
• White vinegar

Equipment Needed

• Spray bottle
• Soft cloth or sponge

How to Clean Your Bathtub in 2 Minutes

Directions

1. Prepare the Mixture: Fill a spray bottle with equal parts white vinegar and water. For an added boost, you can also add a couple of tablespoons of baking soda to the mixture.
2. Spray the Bathtub: Generously spray the vinegar solution over the surface of the bathtub, focusing on areas with soap scum or grime.
3. Let It Sit: Allow the solution to sit for about 1 minute. The vinegar helps to break down soap scum and grime, while the baking soda provides a gentle abrasive action.
4. Wipe Down: After 1 minute, use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe down the bathtub. The grime should come off easily, leaving your bathtub clean and fresh.
5. Rinse: Rinse the bathtub with warm water to remove any remaining residue from the vinegar and baking soda.

Tips and Tricks

• Regular Maintenance: For best results, use this method once a week to prevent the build-up of grime and soap scum.
• Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, you can let the vinegar and baking soda mixture sit for a few extra minutes before wiping it down.
• Ventilation: Ensure your bathroom is well-ventilated while using vinegar to avoid any strong odors.

Variations and Swaps

If you want to try different variations of this cleaning trick, consider the following:

• Lemon Juice: Replace vinegar with lemon juice for a fresh, citrusy scent and additional grease-cutting power.
• Essential Oils: Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the vinegar mixture for a pleasant fragrance.

How to Store Leftovers

If you have leftover cleaning solution, simply store it in the spray bottle and keep it in a cool, dry place. It should remain effective for several weeks. Always shake the bottle before use to ensure the ingredients are well-mixed.
