Bathtub

Bathtub used to be made using porcelain or ceramic. If that’s what your bathtub is, then choose these natural ingredients to clean your bathtub:

  2. Baking Soda + Water

That’s it. Go to your kitchen and you’ll find them. They are so easy to get. Mix both of the ingredients and use it as the ‘soap’ to clean your bathtub.

So, how if your bathtub from Acrylic and fiberglass? This is easier than porcelain or ceramic. Small amount of dish soap and water is enough to clean it. Wipe it using a soft cloth and…VOILA!! There you have it! A sparkling bathtub is in the house.

Toilet and Toilet Bowl

Now here’s a thing. Toilet has several layers. First is the exterior toilet. Cleaning exterior toilet only need vinegar and water. Mix them both and spray it to your exterior toilet. Wipe it and give a little pressure while you wipe it. For the surface of the toilet, use dish soap to clean it. Try to choose mild soap because the surface has lot of dirt.

Last is the toilet bowl. Clean and sanitize it using antibacterial toilet cleaner. If you want to make your own cleaner, then use ¼ cup of bleach. Mix it to a gallon of water and wipe your toilet bowl using it. The vinegar can remove the dirt from surface layer of your toilet bowl.

Showerheads and Faucets

For showerheads, pour white vinegar into a plastic bag. Tie it up with rubber band to your showerhead. It removes the lime and dirt in your showerhead. Wait about one hour, and then turn on your shower to flush the vinegar that still remains. Last, wipe it with soft cloth. Do the same thing to your faucets.
