The Best Way To Clean Sinks Tubs and Showers

Hey friends!  I have a very simple tip to share with you, but it is one that could be life changing if you have numerous sinks, tubs and showers to keep clean!  If you count yourself in that crowd, you want to keep reading this post today, and if you aren’t already doing it, you soon will be!  And I predict you will never stop.  Because it is inexpensive, it’s simple, and it’s easy, but most of all because it’s effective in making your bathtubs and showers shine!  Read on to find out the best way to clean sinks,tubs and showers!

1.  A Scotch-Brite® Heavy Duty Soap Dispensing Dishwand (green sponge)
2.  Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge

3.  Dishwashing Liquid

4.  White Vinegar

I use the green sponge with my dishwand, which is the heavy duty sponge.  I have not had any problem with scratching of any of my tubs or showers, but if you are concerned about this, you might want to use the Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge, which is blue.  The green sponge is also great for kitchen, garage, or outdoors, and It has a heavy duty scrubbing surface and great for use on pots, pans and oven racks.   The blue sponge is is non-scratch, and safely cleans non-stick cookware, counter tops, cook tops and windows.  You start by filling the dishwand half full with dishwashing liquid of choice.  Next, you fill it up the rest of the way with white vinegar.

Shake it up well and here is what you have!  A magical sink, bathtub, and shower cleaner that will make your surfaces shine!  This is my absolute favorite Scotch-Brite® product, and I can’t live without it!  I also use the non-scratch dishwand and sponge in my kitchen on a daily basis, especially to clean dishes that I am not putting in the dishwasher.

I keep one of these dishwands filled and ready to go in all three of our bathrooms, and it works out great!  I also keep the vinegar and dishwashing liquid mixture underneath of my kitchen sink in a squeeze bottle.  It is always ready to go and it is easy to use quickly.  My kids don’t even mind cleaning out the showers and tubs nearly as much when they can use this!  And in my book that’s a win win! And let’s not kid ourselves here, I am always the one who cleans the kitchen sink!

For my kitchen sink I use the Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge because it gives me more control for the small crevices and bends in the sink.  I just add some of the cleaning solution to my sponge, and I use the scratch resistant side to scrub the sink, then I rinse well, and use the sponge side to shine everything up and go around the top rim of the sink and edges.   For my bathtub, I use the dishwand, and I always wet my surface with hot water before I start scrubbing away, and if I’m cleaning the tub, I leave a small amount of water stopped up into the tub because it seems to help if I keep rinsing the dishwand and re-wetting it.

This is what the tub looks like after I have cleaned and scrubbed it down.  I then let out the drain, and rinse thoroughly with hot water.  My before and after picture isn’t horrible because my bathtubs aren’t super dirty, because I try to keep them clean.  But I still think you can tell that the after is much more shiny and bright!
