Cleaning your home always requires extra effort, especially when dirt and germs accumulate in various household items and appliances. The bathtub, in particular, is often prone to blackheads, bacteria, and germs that develop over time. The causes: traces of soap or products regularly used in the bathroom, limescale deposits, hair clogging the pipes, mold stains, etc. It’s no wonder your bathtub sometimes looks gloomy!
Of course, this can be problematic, even harmful, for our health and hygiene, as we still spend a lot of time there. The bathtub is a temple of relaxation and well-being. It’s also the place where we wash ourselves, the place where we frequently wash our bodies and hair. Sanitary hygiene must therefore be impeccable to avoid potential skin damage. The solution? Simply a good cleaning. It’s preferable to maintain it regularly to prevent dirt or limescale residue from becoming permanently encrusted.
Of course, there are special products on the market to prevent dirt from accumulating in the bathtub. However, these contain chemicals that can attack and damage bathtub coatings over time. It can never be proven enough that there’s nothing better than using natural and organic products.

Do you often notice yellowish stains or rust in certain corners of your bathtub? This is a warning sign that you’re not cleaning properly or ventilating properly. To get rid of these yellow stains and limescale deposits, there’s a very popular and very effective remedy: a mixture of baking soda and white vinegar. These two natural ingredients are truly powerful cleaners. Descaler, rust remover, limescale remover, bleach… to take care of your bathtub, you can rely on this amazing duo!
Pour a generous amount of baking soda all over the bathtub. Then, using a spray bottle, spray white vinegar on the parts covered in baking soda. You’ll notice the two products react, forming a white foam, which is completely normal! Let it sit for about 30 minutes. Then, scrub the dirty areas with a sponge or soft brush. Rinse the entire surface with cold water. Don’t forget to open the doors and windows to allow it to dry naturally. Now your bathtub is clean and shiny and can finally breathe!

The biggest problem with shower walls isn’t dirt, but limescale, which builds up over time. Limescale deposits are easily identified by white or dull stains that don’t go away. This also applies to tiles, shower fixtures, and bathtubs.
