If you’ve been on Pinterest for any length of time then you’ve seen all those recipes for homemade cleaning recipes. I’ve seen them over and over again and finally thought that I would give one a try.
The most popular recipe I’ve found is made by mixing equal parts white vinegar (heat vinegar in microwave for 1 minute) and Dawn dish soap into a spray bottle. Shake a little and you get a nice aqua blue bathroom cleaner. Warning: It stinks like you think vinegar and soap would. Some recipes say that you have to mix up a new batch every time and that it’s the heating of the vinegar that makes this all work.
The above “before” picture is the tub my children use. Yes, I’m showing you how we they live, and I’m not ashamed. I used to always clean the tubs on a tight every 2 weeks schedule. Then one day, I just stopped doing that and the world didn’t come to an end. So now I make the kids clean it whenever I think the health department might just shut us down. What bothers me more are the amount of almost empty shampoo bottles sitting on every surface of this tub…the world just might come to an end over that but the occupants of this shower don’t seem to mind!
The “after” picture. It looks a little streaky but it was really clean. This cleaner is made to combat (I love it when household products use “war words” like combat and destroy in their commercials) soap scum and it did do that and it got most of the gray yuck that gets stuck in the bottom of the non-slip pebbly type surface that all fiberglass tubs seem to have. I would use it again so give it a try!

We don't have a microwave--any suggestions? Boil it a bit? I'm looking for a new cleaner for my tub too.
