Over time, the bathtub can become covered with yellow spots, rust, limescale and dirt, which spoil its appearance. How to whiten the bathtub quickly and without expensive cleaning products?
There is a double trick that will help you make your bathtub white and shiny using only affordable and safe ingredients.
Clean the bathtub from dirt and plaque
The first step you need to take is to clean the tub of any dirt or debris that may interfere with the bleaching process.
To do this, you will need ingredients such as baking soda, vinegar, lemon and a sponge. Here are the instructions.
• In a small container, mix equal parts of baking soda and vinegar. You will see foam forming, which will actively hiss and bubble.
• Apply the resulting mixture to the surface of the bath and treat problem areas especially carefully. Leave the foam on the surface of the bath for 15-20 minutes.
• While the foam is working, cut the lemon into two halves and squeeze the juice out of them into a separate container.
• After twenty minutes, remove the foam from the bath with a stream of warm water and wipe the bath with a sponge that you previously soaked in lemon juice. Lemon juice will help enhance the effect of the soda and vinegar, and also give the bath a pleasant aroma.
• Take a dry cloth or paper towels and wipe the surface of the tub to remove moisture.
Whiten a bathtub from stains and rust
The second step to take is to bleach the bathtub to remove any stains and rust that may remain after cleaning.
To do this, you will need ingredients such as hydrogen peroxide, salt, and toothpaste. Follow these instructions.
• Mix equal parts hydrogen peroxide and salt in a small container. You should get a paste that will have whitening properties.
• Apply this paste on the stains and rust on the bathtub and leave for 10-15 minutes.
• While the paste is working, squeeze some toothpaste onto a clean toothbrush and scrub the faucet and drain with it. The toothpaste will help remove limescale and bacteria, and will also make the metal parts shine.
• After 10-15 minutes, rinse the paste off the bathtub with warm water and wipe the bathtub with a dry cloth or paper towels.
Conclusion
That's it, your bathtub is bleached and cleaned of dirt, scale, stains and rust. You can enjoy your white and shiny bathtub without spending a lot of time and money on expensive cleaning products.
This method can be used once a month or whenever needed to keep your bathtub in excellent condition.
