Stop Fighting Soap Scum: Clean your tub/shower the Easy Way!

 

Do you have a fiberglass tub/shower surround? Are you tired of scrubbing it with a plethora of cleaning solutions?

Then try this method–it will have you saying “Where have you been all of my life?”

 

Seriously . . . It only takes two EASY steps and two very unlikely products!

  1. Grab some fume free oven cleaner, (Generic brand probably works just as well):
  2. And stock up on some Mr. Clean Magic Erasers (affiliate link):

 

Then:

  • Spray the oven cleaner all over that tub/shower.
  • Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Wet your “sponge” and wring it out.
  • Then you’ll be able to easily wipe that soap scum away!

No scrubbing, no sweating, no grunting—while you’re trying to get into the corners–and best of all, you won’t need to air out your entire house to rid the fumes!

 

Your shower will be gleaming and I promise you will thank me!

    We have a fiberglass shower pan, and it always looks grungy (and it's only 3 years old!). I'm going to try this…thanks!

    Oh my goodness!! I'm a blog-reading addict and I've never actually commented on anything before, but after I tried this, I couldn't not say "thank you" This literally saved me hours! I really hate cleaning our fiberglass tubs and showers because it takes SOOO long and is such a chore!! But this is a miracle cleaner. I will never dread cleaning bathrooms again! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! In the five years that I have lived in my home, the shower and tubs have never been so shiny!
