YOUR ENTIRE SHOWER
Real Simple
|October 2023
Rub-a-dub-dub, that tub needs a scrub! And in less rhyming news, so does that grout, that liner, and all the other parts.
Tub & Shower Floor
Fun fact: The best time to clean your tub or shower is right after you're done using it, because (a) the steam from your bathing session loosens grime and mildew, and (b) the soap scum won't have had time to settle. Get out, towel off, and spritz surfaces with Clorox Tilex Daily Shower Cleaner ($4 for 32 oz.; walmart.com). For a deeper clean every couple of weeks, reach for Scrubbing Bubbles Mega Shower Foamer ($5 for 32 oz.; amazon.com) or fill a bucket with two gallons of warm water, then add half a cup of powdered dishwasher detergent (it's formulated to cut through grease, after all!). With either solution, use a soft sponge, as anything too abrasive can damage the finish.
