One of the more frequent questions we get asked here at the CMS HQ is how to clean a bathtub. Well, I've cleaned my fair share of bathtubs since starting my cleaning business in 2006. So, in this video, I thought I would take you through how a cleaning professional cleans a bathtub. Looking to learn how to clean soap scum or how to clean bathroom tiles? This is the cleaning video for you!

CMS POLL: Do you prefer taking a BATH or a SHOWER?
A shower. Hands down !
A shower. Hands up!
Shower!!! I cringe at the thought sitting in a tub at a Hotel!!!😰
For getting clean, a shower for sure. I would love to be able to take a relaxing bath, but with joint issues I can't get into and out of a regular tub. I am saving to get one of the walk-in types.
Both! A shower in the morning to wake me up and a nice hot bath at night to soak away the day.
This channel has single handedly taught me how to clean my home! Parents yell at their kids for not cleaning and tidying their rooms or the home in general, but most people aren't taught how to clean. Since I found this channel back when I was a student and lived in a messy home I have now grown into a mother who can clean my home quickly and efficiently. My next step is keeping a clean and tidy house with a toddler and a kindergartener working hard to mess it up 24/7 😉
I would love to see this demo on a dirty tub. This one looked pretty clean already.
I can attest that this is no fluke. I found this channel searching for how to clean up nasty soap scum and found her early videos. I literally was giddy about how well it worked! I am a devoted Melissa and Chad fan!
Yeah this doesn’t work on my apartment tub. Which I got with stains and all. All I know is it’s got no germs. But forever a pale yellow in spots.
Don't need to see gross to know that Melissa knows what she's talking about. Actually, she is inadvertantly showing you that if you just clean before it's gross it is soo much easier and always looks nice. Let your products soak on it's surface, like she says.
Mendez S have you tried making a ‘paste’ with half baking soda and half dish soap? Put it on, let it sit about 30 minutes, then take that blue sponge and have a go.
Well obviously maintenance is easier 🤣. However if I had an unstained tub the need for a video wouldn’t be there. *got it that way, didn’t just let it go before you ask.
I am a shower person. The Japanese take showers to get the dirt off, then sit in a tub to relax. Good idea. They don't want to sit in dirty water, so they have a standing shower in the same room as a tub. Very often there tub is a stand-alone tub that is very nice-looking. If you do, rinse off with a shower. Just my humble opinion
I love watching your videos! We are shower peeps in this house...we took out our tub and installed a walk in shower with a bench so we can age into our home. You know, in case we ever get old! He's 84 and has a chronic lung ailment so showers are easier than getting in and out of a tub. We have a safety mat on the shower floor and grab bars so we can be safe and clean. Did I mention I love watching your videos? grin. giggle.
Connie Baum you are so cute and inspiring!
@@SarahLizDoan Thank you for your kind words. You have MADE my day!
Absolutely beautiful! Blessings 💖💖
@@conniebaum8043 much love to you and yours, from Ireland!
@@ailinos Thank you so much! Greatly appreciated!
Hi, do you have a video about how to clean tiles? My bathroom is wall and floor tiles .Thankyou
This little th-cam.com/users/postUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.
I use the 1:1 baking soda and dish soap mixture you taught in the other video and it has worked miracles in my house! I actually got a foam roller to evenly and quickly spread it al over the tub. My tip is to apply the product about an hour before the husband’s shower time, that way when he goes take his shower I just hand him the sponge with a kiss and a “can you scrub the tub then? I already applied the product!” #sneaky
Mariana. What a nice husband! You must hv paid a premium for him at the husband store.
You’re smart mrs holanda! Teach me more of your ways!
I'm so glad that I follow your channel. Every video has helped me become better at cleaning my home and I feel like having a tidy home helps my overall mental health. I always look forward to these videos :-)
I feel cleaner when I take a shower. On those rare occasions that I take a bath I will take a shower afterwards.
Same
Bath is more for a spa day... shower is in-and-out thing 😉
Oksana Fore - Agree : )
funny, what my not native English thinking brain understood: "I'm wedding my sponge!". well, congrats, I guess... 😁
@@JamieA6666 thanks a lot for the explanation! It reminds me a bit of listening to British (?) English, where some of the t's at the end of words seem to be omitted (e.g. can'(t), wha(t), no(t)). I really love that side effect of TH-cam & Co, that I not only learn about the actual content of the video but also get some language input. :-)
"I love my sponge." "Why don't you marry it???"
Couldn't have come at a better time! I just started cleaning professionally and I always love hearing what works for you.
Thank you so much! every time I need to clean anything in my home I can always look it up in your channel and you always deliver! I am a HUGE fan of yours....Keep up the good work! Love Love the work you do!
Can you do a video on steamer mops?
I take Lysol wipes to hotels and reclean the bathroom.
8:50pm during quarantine and yep I’m gonna clean my bathroom ... ! 😂
😄
aha same
The timing on the video could never be more perfect. My hubby works in a factory and I am mid bathroom cleaning switching videos. I needed the help!
Melissa, thank you for showing your techniques. I can really use some help with the bathtub.
Thanks for addressing fiberglass vs porcelain tubs. Question: How do you clean the bottom of a fiberglass shower, one that has texture to trap the grunge in it?
Baking soda + vinegar to sit for 20 minutes. Then I use a nylon or hard plastic scrub brush and scrub in circles. Works like a charm.
you are always an inspiration,,,you motivate me to dig in and get the job done ,,you make it look doable ..,you are responsible for getting me on the right track of having a cleaner home ... which was my goal and dream for years ...thank you CMS! now to answer your question i prefer to take showers ...i hate sitting in a tub ...as you say it gives me the ebie geebies!!!
Question: what would be a good weekly shower and tub cleaner? Using half dish soap and half vinegar is a lot to use weekly, so is there something more mild that could be used weekly??
Just found your channel and I loved how you taught us about cleaning our bathrooms. Thank you.
You're a terrific presenter! Very helpful information, too.
i just tried this! it worked so well! i sprinkled some baking soda on some spots that needed some extra love. Magical!
Thank-you for your great advice. I can't wait to show my kids this advice!
Thank you so much,since i tried your methods my life have been easier and i enjoy cleaning,love.
Haha once I clean that tub I don't want to dirty it right away - I like to admire the sparkle! Love your channel - long time subscriber - you changed my life by saving time ( often your cleaners outperform the store-bought ones, and are safer for us and the environment) and saved me a ton of money with your DIY cleaners! ❤️
I love your videos!!!! I started watching your videos a few months back and my house has never been cleaner!
Hi Melissa! Do you always wipe dry your bathroom sink, tubs and tiles (wall) after use or you just air dry them? Thank you!
I´ll try your way, thank you for sharing with us! Blessing.
Definitely shower! Love this channel!❤️
I'm a bath girl! And proud of it! Love it! Keep refilling with hot water..
Just waiting to say that I enjoy watching your Videos. Great information
I love how often you use diy cleaning products! So much cheaper and healthier
I just tried the Vinegar/H2O/Baking Soda/Dawn mixture; it worked great and it was quick! Thank you for sharing.
What was the baking soda for because I don't recall seeing you clean with it? You just used it to see if it scratched the tub....?
Margaret Villalpando I think you can use the baking soda on a cloth if you don’t wanna use a Sponge
I was thinking the same, what was the baking soda for?
These are great tips if... you have a bathtub😅
Love you Melissa and Chad!😘 even though we don’t have a tub to use these cleaning tips for.🤪
Maybe I can use it to clean my pool?🤦♀️😅
This recipe worked!!! So glad I tried it. Thank you!!!
Melissa, your hack from a prior shower cleaning video of using teatree oil to get that pink/orange scum off of a plastic shower curtain liner was life changing! It totally worked for me and was hassle-free compared to my previous attempt to hand-wash the liner with oxygen bleach. Thank you. :)
I would like to see a video about how to completely clean a jet tub, especially around the jets. Loved this video. Thank you.
Debbie Fulginiti I had one in my old house and for me it was a nightmare to clean lol
Great video! Will you do another part that addresses the tiles and grout lines as well as the shower doors? Also, I prefer showers.🙂
A great warm bath is awesome. I have epson salts with lavender already in them 😁❤
Did I miss the part about cleaning showers?
Very helpful!! Thank you!
thank you for including this video. So informative. though I have a question; I just bought a house that not only has a plastic tub but this tub has jets. knowing that the tub is holding all kinds of yummyness from the previous owners I was wondering how does one professionally clean this type of tub.
Thanks for the video! Team shower over here. Question: What product do you recommend to clean soap scum on porcelain tiles?
The question I always have is where do you put those wet cloths and sponge to dry that is convenient? Also, are those cloths still good to go for another cleaning task, or are they done now until laundered? This is a big issue I seem to run into. I don't mind reusing a cloth I used to dust the livingroom somewhere else, but I don't want to accidentally reuse a cloth I cleaned the toilet with, you know? How to keep track of all those dirty vs clean vs still clean enough cloths is my biggest problem
b4thestephera My solution for this is to color code my rags. I try to use microfiber so it’s yellow for the kitchen, old white tee shirts for dusting and cleaning windows, orange for bathrooms (any dirty jobs), etc. The white ones I use a couple of times before washing.
B4thestephera. I hv a small bucket under the bathroom sink and I drape the cloth on the side of that to dry. I throw the scrubber in the bucket.
I love Baths! Its so relaxing!
Hi I use vinegar for my washer too, I put some in a quick cycle or when the clothes is a bit stinky, it works!!!! I also like using it because it cleans out the lines in the washer...
Quick question...could I add some Tea Tree oil drops into that solution?
You inspire me to clean again. Normally I clean like an OCD MAD MAN‼️ Thank you.
Love baths, they are my self pampering treat!
I absolutely love 💙💙 baths!!!
I like a shower, and that's all I can take where I live because my apartment only has a shower. So I do miss a tub. When I go to a hotel, when traveling, I like to use the bath. Thanks so much for the question, and thanks so much for keeping us clean.
I’ve been watching this channel for months and didn’t know you were Canadian until the moment you put the bath toys in the milk jug 😂😂
Thanks for a updated video!!
Thanks for watching!
I'm on these industry for almost 7 years but I still learning a lot more thanks for sharing these videos ✌✌✌👏👏💕💕
Im Philadelphia.((city of the cheesesteak)) 😂
Good explanation
hi melissa and chad! quick question: i’m about to move into a newly built apartment with brand new appliances that have not been used before. do you recommend cleaning the dishwasher and washer/dryer before use or no?
Thanks this is so helpful
What an amazing job on a brand new bathtub...
I'm from Waterloo, I have the exact same slippers ( Costco) and the milk container, and all the products seen here.....except the spray bottle- but I think thats from Ikea. Glad so see something on youtube thats not with Grove Collab for cleaning....just your usual everyday items. Thanks!
what's your take on daily shower cleaning spray?? do you need it? does it even help?
You guys referenced a product to renew the shine on the acrylic bathtub... do you happen to know the brand in particular... I'm having a hard time finding the product... used the technique today to clean the bathtub though... it was awesome! Thanks as always!
Thank you for the pro tips! So simple and easy, plus such basic products that one normally wouldn't think of using! I prefer showers as I have a spine disability and can't get down into or out of tub without help. I do miss my soaks, though, as they helped with my spine problems! I need to get a hot tub!! Lol I can dream, can't I? 😄
I prefer baths. Thank you for the great tips. I will try including dish soap to my tub routine.
Thanks for the video! Can you do a video about cleaning glass showers?
I'm a shower gal. I love your channel!
Do u recommend your diy rib and tile cleaner of 1/2 dish soap 1/2 vinegar for every time you clean the tub and shower, or is there something less powerful that would be good for weekly cleaning?
A few questions. As some others have asked, how to clean the floor to ceiling tiles, the fibreglass floor base and the glass shower enclosure. Also any tips on how to clean the area where glass shower doors overlap.
I just moved in and needed this vid so bad 😊😄
Brilliant! I'd love to know how to keep the metal knob and faucet shiny with no spots!
When we installed our new bathroom fixtures the manufacturer said to use nothing but Dawn and a soft cloth. Vinegar will craze the surface and cause it to break down after time. Dawn works fabulously and is cheap and quick.
Michele
Yes it is an acid and can be very damaging.
Thank you, Janet!
Melissa, how do you clean a synthetic marble tub/vanity top/shower?
I would like to see a video on how to clean a jacuzzi tub, especially the jets. I've used Q-tips to clean around the jets as dirt, mold, mildew, get in there. I'm wondering if there is anything else I can use to clean the jets.
A steam cleaner! Those can help clean the jets so quickly and efficiently
I have a question about cleaning the cleaning cloth. Do you just throw them in the washing machine all together? Higher temperature? Special laundry detergent?
I only found the video about cleaning microfiber towels but I use mostly cotton cleaning cloths made out off old towels
I've never been able to describe the feeling I get when I take a bath, but thanks to you Melissa, I do now! THAT is exactly how I feel. I fo enjoy washing my hair in a bath and bathing my kids.. Thank you for the video, I will clean my shower today. I will need some extra elbow grease though...(another word I learned from you) . My husband cleans professionally and brought home a bottle of alkalizing cleaner. I usually do 3 waves of cleaning. I start like you with a sponge and baking soda. Then I rinse and apply the alkalizing sanitary cleaner all over, let sit, and rinse again. Lastly, I apply bleach (I need to because the shower basin is old and I dont clean it as often as I should) and rinse. Do you have any tips on how to do it better? Greets from the Netherlands please excuse any mistakes in my language
Love baths but only when I have time for a good soak. Thanks for tips on cleaning an acrylic tub!
What do you think about “The Pink Stuff” do you prefer the paste or spray? Also Mrs Meyers All Purpose Cleaner
Omg I was just googling ways to clean my shower. Thank you!!!
We knew!!! lol
I love to soak in a clean bathtub! Thank you Melissa
Baths! Love Epson salts and lavender too.
Am feeling pleased with myself,for once. because I already clean my bath the way you described. I like a shower in the morning because I find them refreshing and they wake you up for the day (and because I want to wash my hair) and I like a bath at night because I find them relaxing and they help you sleep better. Only my view of course.
Easy peasy tips, thank you!! Totally a shower girl. I get bored taking baths!
When we lived in Indiana, I loved taking baths. Now that we live in Florida, I only take showers-it is far too hot 361 days of the year for a bath!
How do you clean the tile around the shower? What about the glass door?
ABeautyAdmirer the glass door is a pain
Vinegar and water with a squirt of dawn really does well on shower doors. If it's really horrible in the sliders I used to pour straight vinegar on them and use a little toothbrush for a minute or two and they were like new
Oh I needed this and anyone know a good pi product to get that little stain thing that stays in my told hole?🤗
I love baths to relax and pamper but showers for a quickie and to wash my long hair.
I've got rust in our well water that stains our yellow tub and surround. Any suggestions for a safe method to remove it? The products we've been using are horribly smelly and strong.
Baths are very relaxing!
Hi! Thanks for your videos. How would you clean a bathtub with a very annoying glass door that cannot be open and does let you no space to reach for the knobs and tap? Would you get inside the tub and spray yourself wetting your socks with vinegar? I hate cleaning my bathtub!!!
What about the shower tiles? The grime always gets stuck in the grout, and it just get black and doesn't ever feel clean.
Even though she advises against heavy cleaners in this video, I feel that grout in between tiles and crevices is a different monster. My mother who also worked in professional cleaning for 10+ years, would always use Barkeepers Friend, Comet, or CLR Bathroom & Kitchen cleaner on grout. Hope one of those works for you!
A toothbrush with a paste made from cleaning soda and washing up liquid is pretty good, especially if you apply it and let it sit a bit before scrubbing. And every so often to make the grout extra white (because, let's face it, those stains don't come off completely) I dip a q-tip in some white paint and run it on the grout. It looks like it's been freshly grouted after that. As for the silicone, it needs replaced every couple of years because mould will start to build up, no matter how clean you keep your shower/bath.
She has a video on cleaning the shower tiles and the grout
@@lofibaysmrxoxo soft scrub with bleach is the only thing that works on my very old bathtub and very old sink
What do you recommend for rust in your tub?
Is it safe to assume your tub is one or the other based on year? Like, I have an avocado green bathroom which is probably original from the 1960s (when my apartment was built - so lucky everything is in almost new condition but obviously that is due to good care and older products/materials been long-lasting vs. new builds).
Hi, can you add peroxide or rubbing alcohol to the dawn and vinegar?
Long hot bath with epsom salts and lavender 90% of the time. Showers when in a hurry! Thanks for showing the acrylic tub method!
I enjoy a nice, relaxing soak in my garden tub with bath salts. However, I usually don’t have the time for it so I take a shower most of the time. I probably take a bath three times a month on average. I don’t take baths in hotel tubs or other people’s tubs because I don’t know how well it was cleaned.
Shine bright like a diamond!
Nice video! I have a question for you though. Do you wash that micro-fiber cloth along with your other clothes or just other cleaning microfiber cloths?
aish217 I think you’re supposed to wash them separately. That’s what I do
