Here are the Amazon links where I buy my cleaning products: Baking Soda: amzn.to/2tALCCB White Vinegar: amzn.to/2tTYyq7 And! I just unclogged my bathroom sink without Drano, check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6nVmHR4jc6Ya7M

[@bonnieyoung4037]

I buy at Sam's Club

[@carolynj.griffin8685]

Costco

[@lindamorosko3137]

That bag is only about $7 at Sam's Club. I was going to order from Amazon until I saw the price.

Baking soda has a more neutral pH of 8.Washing soda is more alkaline with a pH of 11. Arm & Hammer makes Super Washing Soda. It is usually found in the laundry detergent isle of the grocery store.

Our grungy shower floor was similar to the one shown in the video. We had tried scrubbing with various cleaners and had only limited success. After watching this video, we had been hopeful, but doubtful. We followed carefully the instructions in the video and the shower floor was completely restored to its original appearance. This was totally amazing!!! Thank you so much for posting this video.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

That’s wonderful! I’m glad the video helped. Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and comment!

[@vaskylark]

Did NOT work for me.

[@Floridafisherman5000]

Hello!! Thank you Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!! I just had a shower exactly like the one you have here on this video with years of built up soap scum and I tried your method....sprinkled a generous amount of baking soda down and then boiled water and poured it all over the towels and allowed it to sit for 30 minutes. Scrubbed with the towels and then made a spray bottle of Dawn and vinegar and heated it up and sprayed the remaining residue and used a stuff brush to scrub the rest of it off!! My shower looks like new!!! Just amazing!!!! I can't than you enough!!! I am selling my house and want it to look pristine!!! A million thank you's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@scotttaini8306]

Wow! Thank you so much! I have been trying for over 15 years to get the stains off of our textured bathtub floor and I did have to do the treatment twice and use A LOT of "elbow grease", but it worked! I left the towel soaking for over an hour the second time for better results, and I put the vinegar and dish soap in a glass measure cup and microwaved instead of the spray bottle and poured it slowly over the floor and it worked great! Thanks again, I've LITERALLY tried everything and nothing has ever worked!

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Hello Scott! I’m so happy this helped you! Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and comment! I really appreciate it!

[@jasonrichardson4008]

So it worked ?

[@ia6980]

Please share ur experience, how did you do it? I tried baking soda, soap, vinegar, did not work

[@1556sac]

It is 2022. I came across this video from 2017. I have a rental property that I've owned for years. The textured fiberglass tub was stained with dark spots. I scrubbed it with ever chemical out there. And I used baking soda, vinegar, and dawn. But I tried this method with the boiling water etc. I did not use a "spray" bottle. I just mixed in a large glass measuring cup for the last step. And spread it all over the tub floor. I let that set overnight. Then scrubbed with a nylon brush like the video. THIS ACTUALLY WORKED! I couldn't believe it ! My tub looks new!

[@Hisloveredeemedme]

I was gonna cry if this didn’t work. I just moved into my new place and my fiberglass textured shower was a mess upon moving in. I tried my go to “Clorox cleanup” spray and I was hurt when it didn’t work on the bathroom but that’s alright it still works for the other areas of my home. This method/remedy really works!!! And whoever said they had to do the process twice, try adding an extra cup of vinegar and instead of 2 teaspoons of dishwashing liquid, squeeze them puppies in there until you feel it’s enough lol. I normally scrub with my elbows in deep, but this method (if you follow it correctly) allows minimal scrubbing. I wish I had taken a picture of my shower before I started but forgot. When I tell you my shower was pearly white, that’s just what I mean. Thank you dearly for sharing this with us… happy camping over here and I didn’t have to shed tears ❤

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Oh my! I’m so happy it worked for you! Next time I’ll follow your tips. Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and comment, I appreciate your support! And I’m so happy you didn’t have to cry 🥰

[@JesusPowerToday1111]

7/5/21 I tried this before resorting to oven cleaner as the bartender's friend and bleach did not remove dark black "footprints" on my fiberglass shower stall. This was an amazing result. After soaking the towels with boiling water I let them cool ten minutes then stepped on them and danced the "twist" on top of the black areas. I also poured boiling water on the towels again after spraying with the vinegar/Dawn mix. The results were amazing! I was ready to spend $500 to have epoxy poured on the tub and now it is clean for about $25 in natural products.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Thank you so much for your comment! I’m happy the video helped!

[@Justdessertsforme]

My first thought was to put the dawn soap with the vinegar in a glass to heat in the microwave instead of the plastic bottle.

[@lorettehawkins9774]

Holy cow!! I have a textured fiberglass shower floor. I have been in my home for 14 years and not ONE time have I been able to get it white again! I have used comet, bars maid, every kind of "powerful" cleaner there is! I even used oven cleaner one time at the risk of ruining the texture of the floor. Nothing worked! Today I KZbin "how to clean textured fiberglass shower floor" your video came up! I followed the steps exactly ( even though I was very hesitant to put my plastic bottle in the microwave) my shower floor is beautiful!! I had to use a little "elbow grease" but that is to be expected with any serious filth in the house. Thank you thank you so much for sharing your video!!

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Thank you so much for your comment Lorette! I appreciate it so much - viewers like you keep me motivated to keep putting the hours into filming and editing! You put a huge smile on my face! I'm glad my video helped! Have a great week! Best, Sasha

[@reginangorima4924]

I thought my shower pan was too dirty to save. Just doing this cleaning method once has made a huge difference. Thank you!!!

[@RitaSpicer]

Holy Cow!!! We've been living with a stained tub for 3 years. No matter how much we bleached and scrubbed, we couldn't get it to look clean. We used the tips in this video and it looks like a BRAND NEW TUB!! Thank you SO MUCH for posting!!

[@davenephone6730]

My shower floor is not that bad and none of this s*** has ever worked

[@pegmitchell3945]

Wow! I echo everyone else's comments. This technique really works. We had no luck with regular cleaners and thought a new shower was our only option. Followed these directions this morning and our 27 year-old shower floor now looks brand new!

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

That so wonderful to hear! I’m so happy it helped. Thank you for taking the time to come back and comment!

[@lisagregory5515]

It worked! Thank you for sharing your tips. My fiberglass shower pan is as white as the day we moved into our house.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

That’s awesome! I’m glad it helped and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment!

[@garrettmcguire00]

I followed instructions and then used some all purpose drill brush attachments. It took about 30 min of pushing down on the drill and moving slowly going back and forth (in small vertical and horizontal directions) with the brush attachment on my drill and all of the grime was taken off. This was seven years in the making! We used a lot of different chemicals, but following the instructions on this video and using nylon drill brush attachments worked. Thank you for posting this and sharing your knowledge!

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

You are very welcome and thank you for your support!

[@thenaturalgemini]

Worked like a charm. My floor looks like brand new. I have spent money on so many cleaners never would have thought store brand baking powder for under a dollar would make such a difference.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

I am so happy the video helped! Thank you so much for watching and thank you for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it!

[@Superawesomegeekshow]

I’m absolutely amazed at the results of this method. We moved into an old condo and the floor in the walk-in shower was so bad (mold spores -like tiny mushrooms were actually growing in it) and mildew and soap scum completely covered the floor and corners. I wanted to tear it all out and totally rebuild the shower. Would have spent over 10 grand on it, but I was told not to and to find a way to clean it. I tried many over the counter chemical cleaners and nothing worked. This method killed everything and brought the shower back to just like new condition. The tiles are totally white. I am totally blown away. Had no idea this would work so well. Thank you. You saved us a ton of money.

[@davyr7956]

Thank-you so much! I moved into my house 18 years ago and I had tried countless ways to clean a grungy plastic shower stall with textured floor pan. I was on the verge of having it replaced- but looked online to see if there might be another cleaning method to try, one last time. I found your video and *IT WORKED!!* I am so grateful! With the worst part of that little bathroom now gleaming, I renewed the shower door, fixed/painted some trim and put in a water saving toilet. So literally, a bathroom remodel for not much more than the cost of 8# of baking soda and a gallon of white vinegar! And some elbow work. ( The toilet qualified for a $100 rebate from WaterSense). I couldn’t be happier. Thank-you!

[@lynnmcrae8655]

This did work, but it took some persistence. My shower is 27 years old and the stains were darker, deeper, and much more stubborn. I combined these techniques with some I found from a few similar videos. Heating a cup of vinegar in the microwave and adding a generous portion of blue Dawn detergent (poured over the baking soda) worked best for me. I used a stiff brush after waiting 30 minutes. I also used one of those yellow/green sponges and stood on it while twisting to work on the really deep spots. I used 2 bottles of vinegar and 3 boxes of baking soda from the Dollar Tree. Four attempts and less than $10 later my shower pan was white again. Thanks so much for this post!

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

You are so very welcome and thank you for your support! I’m about to try this method on a 30 year old tub over the weekend. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

[@daphnesawyer8555]

finally! a baking soda+vinegar solution that doesn't involve combining the two! thanks!

[@winterwanderland]

I was looking for this specific video again! I used your method years ago, and it worked beyond wonders! It even got rid of two spots that were some kind of chemical (sealant?) that the builder's contractor dripped, but I was never able to clean up. THIS method, as a bonus, got those spots up too! So glad I found it and I am about to get going on another round of super clean, super environmentally friendly! thank you!

[@J.Seamans]

Your method worked well, shower floor was about the condition of yours and we tried many cleaners. The thing that made it a little easier is on the last step with the vinegar/soap solution, I scrubbed using a pad and brush set I have that fits a drill. Made it a lot easier than by hand. Thanks.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Hi! I since bought one of those brushes as well - what a difference! Thank you for watching and thank you for your comment!!!

[@DD-fu8mk]

This is incredible! I tried it and my "clean" shower stall went from looking dull with dark spots, to sparkling clean and completely white! It's NEVER looked as clean as it does now. The clincher was doing the second step with the vinegar and Dawn that really removed any remaining residue from the first step. Highly recommend this method!

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Thank you so much for your comment! I’m so happy the video helped! I really appreciate your support!

[@sdiver68]

Like others, I've tried for years with every product sold. While this kept the basin mostly clean, there was a "water" stain that had proven resistant to every cleaning attempt. Step 2, white vinegar + dishwash soap, along with considerable elbow grease with a stiff brush scrubber, finally did the trick. Thank you so much!

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

You are so very welcome and thank you for your support!

[@hollymariekoenig]

This works so well! We have a textured floor in our single bathroom that three people share. Tried this out today, it took three boxes of baking soda because I haven't cleaned the floor thoroughly in two years 😂 it's basically spotless now.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

That’s fantastic! Thank you for your support!

[@Mr1987Vegas]

How is your floor in tie shower keeping up after cleaning it so well?

[@R8RsYF]

They sell giant bags if baking soda at Costco and Sam's Club for really cheap.

[@thepugsandtheprincess]

Wow! I wish I saw this years ago! This truly works. I did add a towel again after I sprayed the vinegar mixture and let it sit for at least an hour or so and scrubbed a few times in between and replaced the towel as I had some stubborn spots but it truly made my textured floor white again . Thank you so much for this!

[@ia6980]

Pls explain what is the purpose of baking soda? Cant u just go straight to second step? By mixing vinegar and dishwash soap?

[@melindamunoz1586]

This worked in my shower. I inherited a Costco size bag of baking soda from my Mom. I’ve been looking for different baking soda uses. I know it’s good for cleaning. The hardest part of this process was waiting for the time to elapse so I could see the difference. Thank u for ur tip.

My shower flower was so dirty after plumbers came in to t fix drain. Tried bleach which did not work then found this video! Amazing how clean the shower is now! Thanks for posting.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

That’s so wonderful! I’m glad it helped and thank you for your comment!

[@AdrianeMarie09]

I just did this on my textured shower floor, it wasn’t that dirty, so I just shook some baking soda around in the floor of the shower. Mixed vinegar and dish soap in a bowl, microwaved it and then just dipped my scrub brush in that. All the stains and discoloration came off so easily, I literally look me 5-8 minutes to do the whole shower. Very little scrubbing needed, I’ll never go back to cleaning any other way. Bonus, no harsh chemicals♥️🎉

I am so happy it helped you! Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and comment, I appreciate your support! 😍

[@NewWave-zl6wx]

This is the only method that really works, thank you!💐

This is the cleanest my tub has been since I moved in. I've tried numerous cleaners, to no avail. I was delighted with the results - what a miracle! Thank you for sharing!

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

You are welcome! And thank you so much for your comment; I really appreciate it 😊

[@makenziemoikeha5767]

After hiring a cleaner who couldn’t get it clean, I tried this and it is PERFECTLY white again! I’m so happy!!

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

This is so wonderful! I’m happy it worked for you and thank you for your support ❤️

[@p.c.6706]

i seen that floor before and after and holy moly. great tips sasha!👍

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Thank you! It did take a bit of scrubbing but it looks better now. Those plastic floors get nasty so fast tho.... I don't know who came up with the brilliant idea to put plastic in a bathroom... Probably the same person who decided that it is a great idea to put carpet in every terminal at Phoenix airport so you can inhale the dust off the shoes of the gazillion travelers passing trough :)) Thank you for watching :))

[@DeeDickens-zt4qo]

I had a dingy shower pan and previously tried clorox spray, clr, lime-away, and straight up bleach with no luck. I followed this tutorial exactly and I couldn't believe the results! All that time I wasted with chemicals several times a year and the actual solution was in stuff I already had around the house. I thought I was going to have to replace the shower stall. Thank you so much for posting this!!!!!

I’ve got a brute force method that even removed some calcium deposits. I had tried scrubbing with Comet, bleach, vinegar and the deep dirt wouldn’t budge. Then I ran my pressure washer wand in through the bathroom window, turned on the ventilation fan, closed the door as much as possible and had at it. Two seconds later, a black sheet of water and grit and oil washed down the drain! It felt so good.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Would the power washer damage the floor?

[@markhenri1131]

No.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Mark Henri Thank you!

[@DougTreff]

@@AnOldSchoolHome As long as it's a one-piece floor, you should be fine. However, if the pressure washer stream is allowed to hit any caulked joints, such as where the shower pan meets a wall, you will want to let it dry thoroughly and recaulk those joints ASAP before using the shower. Thus, pressure-washing on a regular basis can cause long-term damage, and leaking into spaces below.

Thank you so much for the tip, I appreciate it and will keep it in mind!

[@AshleyDelgado-rb9kg]

You are a darling!!!! Subbed after watching your prickly pear vid. I'm in West Texas & they're EVERYWHERE!!!! Anyway, love your content. You are a lovely & helpful lady. Thank you for that!

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

I am so touched! Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@osco4311]

There are some really neat chemicals working here: baking soda paste (sodium bicarbonate) acts as an abrasive to sand away the grime, and rubbing it with the towel helps push it into the cracks. The vinegar (acetic acid) reacts with the remaining baking soda to make sodium acetate and CO2. The CO2 bubbles help push out the dirt even more. Fun fact: Sodium acetate is where Salt & Vinegar potato chips get their flavor, and are used to make reusable heat packs!

[@edith444]

I love your explanation ! I have read elsewhere to even add peroxide, what does that do? Is that a necessary step?

[@sneezln]

Thank you so much for your video I clean well myself I just enjoy watching other people do it as well

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Lol, I do too :))

[@johnt9186]

Great video! Thanks Sasha. We moved into a property that has a textured shower floor. It was clean when we moved in but it seemed that no matter what, we couldn't keep it as clean as when we moved in. This does the trick.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

John T Hi John, I am so glad my video helped! I did try many products from the store, including industrial degreaser 😂. Thank you for taking the time to comment! Have a wonderful weekend John! Best, Sasha

[@fernprice9475]

My shower floors in two bathroom had black and brown mildew stains. I used this method and it worked great.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

That’s fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to come back and comment, I appreciate your support!

[@belgreenhills]

Thank you nice lady for the great tip. I’m going to try this. I’m glad to see someone, besides me, whose microwave and stove clock don’t keep the same time.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

LOL! I try to adjust them all the time and the oven always falls behind :) You are welcome! and thank you for watching! Have a great weekend! Best, Sasha

[@ghostcupcake1782]

I know this is from a few years ago but I had to come on here and thank you for this video. This is amazing. It worked for me on a 7 year old fiberglass textured bathtub with a ton of gross hard water, mildew, & who knows what else stains that were built up. I tried magic erasers and bleach (which makes it worse btw). I had to do this method twice and I used a stainless steel scrubber but with a lot of scrubbing it came out and looks brand new! This takes a lot of elbow grease and effort but it's worth it. Thank you!

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you took the time to come back and comment! I appreciate your support!!! I since bought one of those brush sets that you can attach to a power drill and it is so much easier and faster. Thank you again!

[@JessP-kc5dg]

Holy SH%T! this actually worked!!! It was a giant pain in the ass to do all these steps, but, if you do, it works!!! Dayummm!! Thank you so much for posting this! I was tired of looking at my clean, stained floor!! 😊😊😊

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Thank you Jessica! I’m glad it helped and I appreciate your comment 😁😍👍🏼

[@jackiebencich4217]

Works amazing I had tried everything and did this thinking it would be like everything else. Can't believe it. Thankyou

[@CityWalks]

This is AWESOME!! We bought our house a little while ago and thought we'd have to replace the shower. The stains were terrible. This worked exactly like the video. It cleaned it right up. There are a couple of small areas with some stubborn stains but I'm going to hit them again and use the vinegar soap combo after that. We don't have a microwave. Could I heat the vinegar mixture up in a double boiler?

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Yes, you can do that. I’m glad this helped and thank you for watching!

[@jennilaidman877]

I’ve used this method successfully twice, after giving up on the Mr Clean sponges. I’ve also recommended it to others.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your support!

[@elizabethvasquez9852]

Okay, so i got the towel part done. And already see progress yay

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Great Elizabeth! Thank you so much for letting me know, I appreciate it! I hope it works well for your bathroom floors :)

[@bluecakeman]

What worked for me was the baking soda, towels, and boiling water. Let it cool then scrubbed a lot and it’s PERFECT! Thank you!

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

You are welcome and thank you for watching!

[@markmatteo]

Worked perfect for us on stains that we thought would never come out. Vinegar smell was gone within a couple hours.. Thank you!

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Hiya! Just came across this video in a search and decided to give it a try on our shower floor. It worked very well and I plan on doing this regularly.
