Although stores offer a wide range of detergents, homemade cleaning agents are gaining popularity. Many of them use ingredients that we find in every kitchen.

How to clean a bathtub with a homemade method?

When discussing cleaning the bathtub, the most important thing to emphasize is regularity. The bathtub should be thoroughly cleaned at least once a week. This practice helps eliminate residues from cosmetics, such as shampoo or conditioner.

One of the best products for cleaning the bathtub without using chemicals is baking soda. Sprinkle baking soda on areas with visible stains. Then, pour water over them to create a thick paste. Rub it into the stains and leave it for 15 minutes. After that, rinse everything with water.

Methods for thoroughly cleaning the bathtub

Vinegar is also an effective cleaning agent. Even our grandmothers used it as an investment in home hygiene. With the help of a toothbrush sprayed with vinegar, we can reach hard-to-access areas and grout that require special attention.

In addition to their cleaning properties, homemade remedies can also offer aromatherapeutic benefits. Adding a few drops of essential oil, such as lavender or lemon, to the vinegar and soda mixture will not only improve the smell in the room but also introduce an element of relaxation. Mix a few drops of oil with vinegar to create a solution that you can safely use to clean the bathtub.

As a practical addition to home methods, it's worth mentioning that you should start by rinsing the bathtub with hot water. Raising the surface temperature expands the pores in the material, making it easier to remove dirt. After washing, it's also beneficial to leave the window open for a while to prevent mold formation due to moisture.
