Confession time: My shower is disgusting.
I bought a new shower curtain over the weekend, and it lets in far more light than the old one did. Which is nice, but also not so nice. In that now I can see all of the ring-around-the-tub nastiness. I think I do a decent job keeping most of the house clean, but the master bathroom is always the last on the priority list. (Which doesn’t really make any sense, seeing as how that’s where I start my day. I should work on improving that.)
Anyway, our bathtubs are standard builder’s choice plasticky stuff, and I’m not sure if I can use a bleach dilution on that safely. I’ve tried a variety of chemical-laden products, but they’re not doing the job. I’d rather not use that stuff anyway, so more natural product suggestions are very much welcome.
So. What do you use to clean your bathtub? And just so I feel better about my shower, what’s the most neglected part of your home?
Note: Having a grody bathtub does not work for me. It’s What Doesn’t Work for Me week!
Most Neglected— Our Bedroom… which as you mentioned above— doesnt make sense since we sleep there everynight. But it is always the last room to get cleaned when company comes over b/c they never go in there anyway!! The dust bunnies under the bed have most likely grown into dust antelopes or something by now…
And I cant help much on the cleaning products… I make a paste out of Comet and gunk it over the stains for a while, then come back and wash it off…
I use shampoo sometimes on the shower walls. It works faily well. They say coke works good too.
I need to read these responses, too. Our master bath is the grossest room in the house and most neglected and I absolutely hate cleaning the bathtub. I recently bought Magic Eraser bathroom sponges and they work better than anything else I’ve tried but I am thinking about ordering some Kaboom online.

Have you tried making a paste of baking soda and letting that sit on the stains for a while? I read that somewhere along with the suggestion to apply white vinegar either before or after. I haven’t actually tried it though. And I’d say our bedroom is the most neglected, although honestly the only rooms in the house that I actually clean are the kitchen and bathroom. The other rooms just get tidied.
I have the best luck with borax and a scrub brush.
My bathroom is the most neglected as well! One thing you can do is clean one thing while you are waiting for the water to warm up in the shower. I am trying to be better at this. You need to keep your cleaning stuff in the bathroom for this, obviously. It does help, though!
The thing I’ve found that works best is soft scrub toilet cleaner and those yellow sponges with the green scrubby side that are wonderful in the kitchen. They are equally wonderful in the shower!
