- Scrub porcelain enamel bath tubs and sinks with the home brewed all purpose cleaner, or a solution of hot water and a few drops of liquid dishwashing detergent.  

Both mixtures will easily clean the fixtures. without scratching the shiny finish.  Always rinse the tub after taking a bath.  

If you can somehow coax, bribe or threaten your family to do likewise, the chore of cleaning the bathtub will be much easier, and you won't have to do it as often.


If you have a new bathtub, it may be plastic or acrylic.  You need to be extra careful when cleaning these types of tubs.  

Always use a mild cleaner, such as the all purpose bath cleaner or a dishwashing liquid (but not dishwasher soap) does a good job of making bubbles and cleaning the tub at the same time.  Just don't tell the kids that they are helping to clean the tub; let them think you are doing them a big favor by letting them take a bubble bath.


- To keep your soap bars from melting into a soggy mess that you'll have to clean up, place a sponge under the bar of soap.  

Then use the sponge to wash yourself or clean the inside of the tub.  This will help keep the area neat, and you will actually use most of the melted soap instead of washing the soapy mess down the drain.


- You can get rid of a stubborn bathtub ring with a paste of cream of tartar and hydrogen peroxide.  

Take 2 tablespoons of cream of tartar and add hydrogen peroxide drop by drop until you have a paste. 

Apply the paste to the ring and let it dry.  When you come back to wipe off the paste, the ugly bathtub ring will disappear, too.
