Homemade No-Scrub Tub Cleaner




This homemade bathroom cleaner blasts away built-up soaps scum in your tub or shower. No scrubbing required!

What is the best natural Shower Cleaner?
You found it! It’s a two ingredient mixture of Dawn dish soap and vinegar.
To make your own homemade tub cleaner, you will need:

  • 1 cup original blue Dawn dish soap
  • 1 cup white vinegar

Heat the vinegar in the microwave for 1 minute. Pour both ingredients into a plastic spray bottle and spray evenly over the tub.

Warning: it stinks.
In 30 minutes to 1 hour, come back and use a cleaning rag to wipe away all the grime. Wipe, not scrub. Really!
If you don’t believe me, just look at these photos:

Score! I did not scrub one tiny bit and my tub is sparkling white. The pictures just don’t do it justice. I could actually see the line down the middle where the solution touched the tub.

And no scrubbing! Really… I just wiped the grime away!

Scrubbing the tub is no fun — especially if you have serious stains. So when we came across this cleaning solution on Pinterest that boasted a clean tub with no scouring, we had to give it a try. And the concoction comes together with two ingredients you already have in your kitchen. But does it deliver?

Heat one-fourth cup vinegar and pour into a spray bottle. Add one-quarter cup liquid dish detergent, and it give a little shake to distribute. That’s it! The vinegar and dish soap work together to tackle soap scum and dirty tub rings.
While the mixture is warm, spray on showers, tiles, and grout. Let sit for 20 minutes — or a few hours if dealing with tough stains — and rinse. We wiped away the grime on one side to really show how well this cleaner works!
