Squirt a generous amount of dish soap on the sides of your tub. You can also do the bottom of your tub afterwards, but be very careful not to slip as the dish soap will make the surfaces very slippery. Take the broom and work the soap into the sides and base of the tub. Just like the dish soap cuts through grease and food residue on your dishes, it removes the buildup of soap scum and mildew like nobody’s business.

In the past, I’ve had to wear a mask and use a scrub brush and bleach to get through the gross buildup on the tub and shower. This hack is a lot easier to work through! And it will leave your tub fresh and sparkling clean. Now that I know about this simple cleaning method, I don’t think I’ll be procrastinating this cleaning chore (as much)!
