The Best Way to Clean the Bathtub


I don't know how my kids' bathtub gets so dirty--it's a combination of dirt and soap scum I guess. This photo is not my bathtub, but mine was just as bad.

Thanks to Marissa at Finely Ground, I now know how to clean a mess like this. The secret is Borax.

I've tried all sorts of different ways to clean my kids' bathtub. I found a few commercial cleaners that seemed to do a fair job (with a lot of scrubbing), but not like Borax!

I ran the shower just to get the tub wet, sprinkled on the Borax, then went at it with a stiff scrub brush. That grime was no match for the Borax and a brush.

At less than $5.00 for a five pound box, this is my frugal solution for cleaning the bathtub. Thanks, Marissa!
