I tried the vinegar, water, Dawn soap combo in a spray bottle today. It only took me 15 minutes to do what used to take me 3 hours on my hands and knees to do with other cleaners. I have a fiberglass textured tub that was almost impossible to clean the bottom of. I mixed up your vinegar recipe and sprayed it down twice over 10 minutes and then took a 5' long handle stiff plastic bristled brush to it. Rinsed it off and it was spotless! all in 15 minutes. I'm 74 years old. Thank you!

[@leafster1337]

nice. we 3 brothers are quite greasy and also the water here is slightly hard so we need a bottle which is like 1:4-1:3 dawn platinum and the rest vinegar to get rid of the soap scum. not sure if the ph is bad or good for hard water but its working very well

What a time to be alive! Drill brushes for cleaning my shower…now that’s goin on the Home Depot wish list for sure!

[@jerometaperman7102]

For rinsing, a hand held showerhead is a must. I don't know how anyone can exist without one.

[@carlbeaver7112]

I used to feel the same but I also like the extra large rain shower heads. I could use both but then you have all the extra crap hanging. Cure? I clean the bathroom often enough that a plastic tumbler to splash/rinse with is an easy replacement and only takes 2 -3 fills to rinse a full size tub and tiles.

[@jerometaperman7102]

@@carlbeaver7112 - We pays our money and makes our choices. I have a fairly good sized hand held showerhead that delivers plenty of water for me. Got it at Costco. I have done the large tumbler method in the past and I do not like it Sam I Am. 😀

[@nannettecouch1945]

HOTEL HOUSEKEEPER TIP--use kitchen broom for scrubbing and instead of all the stretching to dry at the end turn a table top style portable fan on high [ I use a rotating tower fan at home] to cirulatate a breeze to evaporate leftover water and to blow away the cleaner's smell. BONUS you get a clean broom as well!

[@isabelmoreira9354]

Thank you so much for the advice of a kitchen broom and fan.

[@skiddilydoo]

I immediately went to Home Depot and bought that scrubber drill after seeing this video. The ability to use power tools has made me much more motivated to clean stuff now, setting my wife can get behind!

I use a tbsp. of cascade dishwasher soap in a quart of warm water applied with a giant sponge sold for tile install, then rinse well. No scrubbing needed, leaves my acrylic showers and glass doors gleaming.

Bar Keeper's Friend powder was recommended to me by Corelle to remove the silver streaks that had developed over many years of use on my Corelle dishes. I used it and my Corelle dishes look new again.

[@Porcelaindaisy14]

I got so tired of buckets and cups for rinsing so for my cleaning business i found something called a rinse-a-roo for showers and one for tubs.Its for baithing your pets but hey..It works AMAZING and saves a TON of time..They even have the rubber tops for showers with really big shower heads. If you clean 10 to 15 showers a week as i do i hoghly reccomend tjos or something similar. And its a small buisness like mine so i love supporting those..

[@skyeblue5669]

I get my Shower nice and clean twice a month.. I use Merry Maid service..

[@nikkiq5124]

That razor scraper is game changer! Added it to my Amazon cart thanks! I also love drill brushes/electric scrubbers too like you mentioned. Got one a couple months ago with an extended handle and it saves my back since I don’t have to bend down anymore lol.

[@CleanThatUp]

Scrubbers and razors are gamechangers for sure. Clean smarter not harder! :)

[@texasoutlook60]

I have used the DYI mixture for most of my cleaning!

[@RobTheMarkets]

That cleaner is the bomb!!! I couldn’t get my shower/bathtub clean for months! I would get fed up with scrubbing for hours trying to get the soap scum and calcium off the walls of the tub, just for this cleaner to sit for a few minutes and wipe away like it was never there!! Thanks for this video, my shower is looking brand new now

[@Joeyw-2203]

Citric acid also works well on showers and any hard water spots. You can buy it in powder form at health food stores or online, and it's much cheaper than vinegar. Mix about a quarter cup of powder to 4 cups warm (not hot) water and stir vigorously. Put into a spray bottle.

[@flowerpower8722]

A very fine wet n dry sandpaper is also very good - cheaper than magic erasers but effectively the same thing.

[@abrahambeltran]

[@LB-tw7gg]

I have a bottle of vinegar and water mixer. Use it in my shower/tub with baking soda I have in a OXO Parm sprinkler. It’s the only thing that really cuts through the grime without using half a bottle of cleaner. Also the vinegar spray is good for coffee spills on clothing.

[@PearlAndThor]

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. Great idea on the scrubber sponges. Wow. Much appreciated.

[@ms9714]

Hot tip for showering. Use body wash instead of bar soap to bathe with. Shower is so much easier to clean . Squeegie shower walls and glass doors after every shower and your shower stays cleaner longer.

[@ruthr1093]

At our house (just my husband and I), the last one to shower goes over both the glass door and the tile walls with a squeeze, then dries it off with a yellow garage-type towel. Then when we get out, there’s an old hand towel that we rub around on the floor to dry it up. It actually goes pretty quick….it’s a small square shower.

[@bettybedsole9915]

I also use body wash for my body & any residual body wash I use to wipe down the shower & rinse. I don't have any build up.

[@bikinggal1]

Baking soda and vinegar for tiles and glass. I use a bleach based cleanser for the tile floor once every 2 months.

[@kellidinit3725]

One tip, white vinegar, hot water, Dawn dish soap. I spray a solution on, walk away, rinse. Spray again, take a magic eraser and scrub, not even hard. My shower looks great. No water spots. Once a week I spray and walk away and rinse and once a month I repeat the spray and scrub. Also helps neutralize those bathroom odors. No dangerous chemicals. Not saying I won’t use soft scrub scrub or bleach when necessary, but for the most part, white vinegar and Dawn dish soap clean quite nicely. I also recommend white vinegar in with your clean water and carpet cleaning so,Union when scrubbing carpets. Nothing helps with odors like it.

[@daffodilrose1950]

I do the same when cleaning my shower!

[@kellidinit3725]

@@daffodilrose1950 works better than anything.

[@firstlast-gn5bo]

The magic eraser can take the shine/coating off the formica-like tub enclosure like that shown in the video.

[@creaturecore13]

Never use magic erase on the tub. It is essentially a light duty sand paper. You will remove the non stick base.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

One of my three bathrooms has a molded plastic shower unit, which I hate. The only thing that works for cleaning it proofs is to wet it down with hot water, then scrub it with Spic and Span on a non-scratch scrubber pad. For lighter cleanings, I make a strong solution of Spic and Span and hot water and spray it on, then rinse. Spic and Span is basically TSP (trisodium phosphate), with color and fragrance, but cheaper, plain, generic TSP will work, too. Discharging phosphates to wastewater damages ecosystems, so I limit my use of it to the bare minimum, like once every five years. It’s also the only thing that works on the textured, no-slip, bottom surface of my porcelain bathtub. Dishwasher detergent also contains phosphates, by the way, so I use only half the recommended amount, it works just as well. After cleaning, rinse like crazy; all truly clean, hard surfaces will feel slippery. I maintain my showers and tub by rinsing them with the hottest water then drying them with a towel after every use, it helps so much to reduce soap scum and prevents mildew. If it’s not quite dry, I put a fan in the shower for a few minutes.

[@jodyel]

Phosphoric acid cleaner for the shower/tub and muriatic acid cleaner for the toilet. Can get both at a janitorial supply company. A former cleaner of mine told me about them. Good stuff.

[@freddoooooo]

Never would have figured this out on my own - thanks so much!

[@TROOPERfarcry]

When I go to the Dollar Tree, or Family Dollar, or Dollar General, I buy a very small bottle of Dawn dishsoap and use that. I treat the interior of my shower as though it's basically a dish. Squirt on soap... scrub with a medium or soft-bristle brush. The key is to do it often.

[@runnergo1398]

I would recommend using a drill with the sponge attachments. Make sure it's a drill that can spin slower so it isn't flinging stuff everywhere. This is mainly for older people or disabled people. In the video he recommended a mixture of Dawn with white distilled vinegar and water.

[@kathrynlee6195]

My tub and shower was so stained, I was planning to have it taken out, but I tried Toilet Ring Remover “TRR” and it truly made it look like new without scrubbing. No lie! A miracle!

Hi Brandon, thank you for another great cleaning video! I wonder if you might be able to help me with an on going problem I have? I have a wet room with an anti slip floor. I’m an amputee and use crutches when I use my shower so having this flooring is a must. It’s like a regular vinyl flooring except the vinyl has little bumps all over it. The problem is a mop can’t clean it properly because of these little bumps, so I have to get down on all fours (when I’m not having a painful joints day) and scrub it with a hand held scrubbing brush. I’ve tried using a long handled scrubbing brush but I can’t seem to get enough traction to get rid of the “foot traffic” marks in certain areas, like in front of the toilet and sink areas. Even after scrubbing it with neat bleach, there are still faint dirty marks. At the moment I use a floor cleaner (Astonish Floor Cleaner in Zesty Lemon) with a drop of bleach in the water. What product(s), if any do you recommend for removing stubborn stains from vinyl? As always, I’m forever grateful for all your videos full of helpful hints and tips! 🥰🥰

Muriatic Acid is what “professional cleaners” use to restore porous surfaces such as anything made from composites, carbon-fiber, fiberglass, or plastic. Its ALL plastic surfaces the other 3 have fiberglass added for strength, but all plastic have pores or porous surfaces invisible to our eyes & trap scum, bacteria, dirt which is basically sealed into a product after years of neglect has yellowed the surface. Its not so much as yellowed as it seriously neglected and its turned you tub Literally into a science project.

[@Joe-xy3vy]

Citric acid. You can buy it in powder form at hardware stores or online. Mix it with warm water until fully disolved. It cuts through hard water spots and the brown grime at the bottom of the shower like nothing else. I generally don't recommend mixing cleaning products, particulr vinegar or bleach with any type of soap. They may react and some combinations are dangerous. Citric acid is more effective anyway.

[@fred_ucation]

You're a genius! Life changing ☺ 😎

[@HeronCoyote1234]

My best friend chose a rain type shower head. I hate it!!! I prefer the shower heads on coils, to help with rinsing the walls. Plus, the rain shower head is too big to wrap in a vinegar filled bag. And it’s non- removable. And it’s too high for me, even on a stepladder. (I tried once with a garbage bag filled with vinegar. Impossible!)
