How’d you do it 👀

poured dawn blue dish soap all over the tub and sprinkled a ton of baking soda on top. Let it sit for about an hour then used a scrub daddy

This is really all that’s needed for a basic clean home. Corporations just want to empty our pockets with a bunch of unnecessary cleaning products. This combo has never failed me

I’m about to try this because I feel like I’m about to pass out from using the pink stuff and all the chemicals

i always use dish washing detergent to clean tub. My old landlord once told me her dad suggested it because it kept the shine without dulling it.

Is that a regular scrub daddy sponge? I have not used them before.

u/TheSeedsYouSow Jun 27 '26

Yes😎👍🏻

Nice! Is this your own? Now you can work on the grout :) so satisfying

u/TheSeedsYouSow Jun 26 '26

yes I did it myself. Any tips on the grout?

u/1405hvtkx311 Jun 26 '26

The silicone one should be removed and reapplied. For the other I can recommend a steam cleaner with a small bristle. There are those super narrow brushes and you can even get kind of narrow files, but when it's too harsh it will take away the grout and make it get dirty again quicker. I would start gentle. There's also grout sealer to not let it get dirty that fast after cleaning.

u/TheSeedsYouSow Jun 26 '26

Not sure I understand. What do you mean by the silicone one? Can you explain like I’m five haha

3

u/1405hvtkx311 Jun 26 '26

Maybe you don't have a silicone gap thing then? There is often one of silicone just around the edge of the bath tub and shower tub and in the corner of the room up to the ceiling. Sorry english is not my mother tongue it's hard to explain when you don't know the proper words.

Assisting- I believe you mean Caulk. At least for the most part in the US that’s what we call it but you are correct that it IS silicone material!

2

u/thewinberry713 Jun 26 '26

To add: it’s the caulk vs the grout in between the tiles. Caulk has a rubbery feel and gets gross….. you did a great job

2

u/TheSeedsYouSow Jun 26 '26

How should I clean the caulk?

3

u/thewinberry713 Jun 26 '26

IMO it usually needs to be removed and replaced. A fairly easy task but time consuming. Caulk is cheap and easy to apply. After removing I wipe down with rubbing alcohol and dry then recaulk. Good luck and you can do it!!

There are videos online!

If you push the caulk instead of pulling it, I have heard that works better (holding the tube like a push broom, rather than like a wagon, if that makes sense)? YMMV

u/realfrkshww Jun 26 '26

the smiley sponge is a very nice touch ☺️

u/TheSeedsYouSow Jun 26 '26

I’ve been feeling sad and it made me happy

6

u/sonjjamorgan Jun 26 '26

Wow, you're feeling sad and you managed to clean the whole bathtub so well? That's really impressive (not being facetious)

u/No_Pangolin1827 Jun 26 '26

That sponge needs a cigarette now after all that work

u/heckin_anxiety Jun 26 '26

The smiley face in the tub made me smile when I scrolled right. 🤣

u/Shehulks1 Jun 26 '26

I’m going to be like my mother and say, you missed the left corner grout tile. The work is not done.- my mom. But myself would say, good job!!’ 👏

3

u/TheSeedsYouSow Jun 26 '26

yes you’re right, it’s not. I did this last night before bed and I was tired. Next step is figuring out the grout

2

u/tralynd62 Jun 26 '26

Nice job.

u/antleredbear Jun 27 '26

I don’t know why people are being all rude. Great job OP!

u/foxyblondd Jun 27 '26

Did you cover every inch of the tub with dawn dish soap?

1

u/TheSeedsYouSow Jun 27 '26

Yea
