Pro Tips

• TIPThe grapefruit and salt trick: cut a grapefruit in half, dip in coarse salt, and scrub the tub. Citric acid cuts soap scum naturally.
• TIPAfter bathing, drain the tub and quickly wipe with a squeegee or cloth. Takes 30 seconds and prevents ring buildup.
• TIPFor jet tubs, fill with hot water and a cup of bleach, run the jets for 15 minutes, drain, and refill with clean water to rinse.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• XUsing abrasive cleaners on acrylic or fiberglass tubs, which scratch and dull the surface permanently.
• XIgnoring the drain, which clogs with hair and soap scum and eventually causes slow drainage and odors.
• XUsing bleach on colored or acrylic tubs without diluting properly, which can cause discoloration.
