How to clean a bathtub without straining your back: 2 good ways to save your energy

Experts believe that you should clean your bathtub every day, but it is unlikely that many housewives are ready for such a feat. So we suggest you listen to the recommendations of other doctors and do a deep cleansing once a week. Here’s how to do it so your back doesn’t remind you of itself later.

The answer to the question of how to clean a bathtub without straining your back is actually very simple: it’s all about soaking. The more time you give cleaning products to work, the easier it will be to get rid of yellowing, plaque and stains later. Here are the products you can use.

Looking for cost-effective ways to clean your bathtub? Get the 9% white vinegar and spray bottle commercially! Mix vinegar with water (ideally distilled, but plain water will do) in a one-to-one ratio, spray the surface, wait half an hour, then rinse the solution with clean water . The method is suitable for all types of bathtubs, the only exceptions are those made of natural stone.

Don’t have a spray bottle? Fill the bath to the brim with hot water, then pour 300 milliliters of vinegar essence into it, wait 30 minutes. If you want, take the opportunity to disinfect something that doesn’t fit in the washing machine: for example, put a sports backpack in the water while it soaks.

Here’s how to simplify the task of cleaning a bathtub with ammonia: mix three tablespoons of ammonia and a glass of water, pour the solution into a spray bottle, spray it on the surface, wait 15 minutes, rinse with water.

Remember the safety rules: you need to work with ammonia in a ventilated area and wear gloves. Do not use it if you have an acrylic bathtub: ammonia can damage the sensitive coating and it will crack.

There are simple ways to clean a bathtub that involve the use of chemicals. If you are not against it, consider soaking with oxygen bleach – this method cannot be called economical, but it is effective and simple – absolutely!

Pour hot water into the bath, read the instructions and add the required amount of bleach according to it. The longer the soaking, the better the result – according to experienced housewives, water and detergent should be left in the bathroom for several hours, but even better – overnight.

Soaking gives an excellent result, but, alas, this is not enough – you still have to walk along the walls. This is usually what tires you out the most, so today we’re going to tell you how to keep your energy up while cleaning your bathtub.

This method was invented by Jill Nystul, a blogger who started inventing and testing cleaning hacks in 2011. To save your back, you’ll need a plastic broom, new of course. According to Jill, you don’t have to choose a special one: you can buy the cheapest one and use it only to clean the bathtub.

When finished soaking, rinse off the remaining solution with water, take a bottle of dish detergent and pour it over the bottom and sides of the tub. Lightly wet the broom, scrub the tub, rinse off any remaining soap with clean water, then stand back and admire the clean, snow-white surface!

Another effective tool for cleaning your bathtub effortlessly is an electric brush with a telescopic handle. Most of these devices are waterproof: you cannot pour water on them, but there will be no problems with wet cleaning.

Prices for electric brushes vary from 1,300 to 3,000,000 rubles. Of course, a broom costs much less, but the gadget works more efficiently and can be used on other surfaces as well. There are no special nuances in using the device: you just need to turn it on and walk along the walls and bottom of the bathtub.
