How to Clean Your Bathtub: A Complete Guide for Sparkling Results

Cleaning the bathtub is essential to keeping your home healthy and hygienic. But how do you know which cleaning methods are best for different types of tubs? Whether you have an acrylic, fiberglass, porcelain-enameled, or stone resin tub, this guide will help you figure out the ideal strategy for keeping it sparkling clean. We'll outline helpful tips suited to each type of material, so you can be sure your free standing bathtub is spotless in no time at all.

Cleaning an Acrylic Bathtub

Acrylic tubs require non-abrasive cleaning products and supplies to leave them looking brand new. Follow these steps for the best results:

1. Scatter baking soda or mild cleaning product throughout the tub and allow it to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Baking soda can remove hard dirt from the acrylic.
2. For tough stains, fill the tub with hot water and vinegar. Allow this soaking mixture to stay for 15 minutes or more to loosen any mildew and scum, then drain the water.
3. Use a damp cloth or sponge to scrub the baking soda into the tub and faucets.
4. Use a bristle brush to capture dirt in corners and along the bathtub edges.
5. Rinse the tub and wipe clean.

Cleaning a Fiberglass Bathtub

Fiberglass is easy to clean but can be scratched using the wrong tools and supplies. Follow these steps for a sparkling clean:

1. Combine two parts vinegar and one part water in a spray bottle and spray the entire bathtub. Allow this soaking solution to sit in the tub for 15 to 20 minutes.
2. For tough stains, place a towel soaked in vinegar and baking soda paste or hydrogen peroxide onto the color (s) and allow the towel to sit for up to one hour.
3. Use a cloth or sponge to remove the tub's dissolved dirt and soap scum.
4. Rinse the tub and use a microfiber cloth to remove excess paste or solution.

Cleaning a Porcelain-Enameled Bathtub

Porcelain bathtubs give a luxurious look to your bathroom and are highly durable. You will want to avoid damage by using gentle cleansers and supplies when it comes to this sleek surface. Follow these steps:

1. Equally combine warm water, ammonia, and baking soda in a bucket. For tough stains, first, cover them throughout the tub with salt and lemon juice, then allow them to sit for up to 1 hour. Scrub the salt and lemon juice into the stain.
2. Dip a cloth or soft sponge into the bucket and scrub the tub thoroughly.
3. Rinse the tub and wipe clean.

Cleaning a Stone Resin Bathtub

Manmade stone resin is remarkably durable and resistant to stains and scratches. Follow these steps for a pristine clean:

1. Mix dishwasher detergent and water into the bathtub or bucket. For tough stains, scrub the area with cream cleanser solutions to dissolve the stains.
2. Use a cloth to scrub the tub and finish removing the stains.
3. Rinse multiple times and wipe completely to prevent streaks.
4. Final Thoughts
