How to Clean an Enamel Bathtub?

/in /by

If you have an enamel bathtub, regular cleaning and maintenance will keep it looking beautiful. Wash your enamel bathtub every week using soapy water and a soft cloth. Remember to dry the tub after every use and fix leaks that could cause staining. To remove stains, avoid abrasive cleansers or tools. Instead, apply cleansing solutions and let them soak on the stain. Wipe and rinse away the solution to reveal your clean enamel tub.

Empty out your shower. Remove all bottles, soap, razors, and accessories from your shower. Wipe down the items to remove any grime that may be transferred back into the shower, especially mildew. Mildew on the bottom of the bottles can immediately rub back onto your freshly clean shower surfaces. If you have any empty or worn-out items, throw them away.

If you have a shower curtain, it’s best to take it down and clean it. Rinse away any loose dirt and debris. A pre-rinse will ensure that you do not accidentally grind dirt or debris into the surface of your tub. It also allows the cleaning product to work directly on the stuck-on grime.

Ventilate the room. Open the bathroom door to prevent the fumes and moisture from building up. Then turn on your fan. If you have a window in your bathroom, open it as well. While you’ll be using a natural cleaning solution, it’s still strong and will release fumes that you’ll want to air out.

If you don’t own a dedicated scrubbing brush, you can use the rough green side of a kitchen sponge. Never use steel wool or any similar material to scour a porcelain tub. Even though porcelain is scratch-resistant, this can be enough to cause permanent damage to the finish.

How to Getting Creative with Storage?

Use a door hanging shoe caddy for added storage. If the back of your bathroom door is still available, a door hanging shoe caddy can contribute plenty of storage space. These can be bought at most general retailers and hang simply from a door.

Fill the pockets of your hanging shoe caddy with toiletry bottles, bathing supplies, and so on.

Create a towel holder from a wine rack. The shape of many wall hanging wine racks is perfect for holding rolled towels. In addition to this looking classy, these are usually generally easy to install. In most cases, all you’ll need to do is screw the rack into the wall to create a wall holder for towels.

Before you screw in the wine rack to the wall, be sure to check that it’s level. To do this most efficiently, you may want to ask a friend to help. You should be able to find suitable wine racks at big box stores, general retailers, and hardware stores. Once the wine rack is mounted on the wall, roll up your towels and place them in the slots where the wine bottles would normally go.

Store spare toilet paper in oatmeal canisters. Toilet paper stacked precariously in your cabinets can be easily knocked over and can contribute to clutter. Large oatmeal canisters can store two to three rolls of toilet paper, depending on the kind of toilet paper, giving you a nifty spot to stash TP.

You can add some flair to your oatmeal canister by covering its outer surfaces with a wrapping paper that matches the decor of your bathroom. You don’t have to use oatmeal canisters — any kind of large, colorful kitchen canister will work.
