Cleaning the bathtub can feel like a never-ending chore—especially with soap scum and grime buildup. But my grandma recently shared a simple, effective trick that gets the job done in just 2 minutes, with zero scrubbing involved.
Her secret? Two everyday household items that work like magic.
The Secret Ingredients: White Vinegar + Dish Soap
The power duo of this cleaning method:
-
White Vinegar: A natural acid that breaks down soap scum, grime, and mineral buildup while also disinfecting surfaces.
-
Dish Soap: Cuts through grease and grime, enhancing vinegar’s cleaning power.
🔸 What You’ll Need:
-
½ cup white vinegar
-
½ cup dish soap

Spray bottle
💡 Tip: Warm the vinegar slightly before mixing for even better results.
How to Use It – Step-by-Step
1. Mix the Solution
Combine equal parts of white vinegar and dish soap in a spray bottle. Shake gently to mix.
2. Apply to Bathtub
Spray generously over the entire surface, especially in grimy or stained areas.
3. Wait 2 Minutes
Let it sit. The vinegar and soap work together to loosen dirt, soap scum, and grime.

Use a microfiber cloth or sponge to wipe everything down. No scrubbing needed—dirt comes off effortlessly!
