HOW TO CLEAN THE BATH - how to clean the bath at home from plaque

There are two ways to lighten the bath - by removing plaque or bleaching it. The first method is more reliable, the second is a kind of optical snag, short-term.

Method number 1: "acidic"

Lime deposits are destroyed by acids. Therefore, we cannot do without citric acid or vinegar.

What to do:

  • fill the bathtub with warm water,
  • pour in a glass of vinegar or dissolve a sachet of citric acid,
  • leave for 3 hours,
  • rinse and dry the surface with a soft cloth.

Method number 2: "alkaline"

It takes bleach and a little patience. The result is worth it: dazzling whiteness, plus an antibacterial effect.

What to do:

  • fill the bathtub with cold water,
  • pour a bottle of "Whiteness" there and leave it overnight,
  • drain the water in the morning, rinse the walls thoroughly, and order.

And in these two ways, you can not only easily clean the bath from plaque, but also disinfect it so that mold does not develop. Wear gloves.

Method number 3: how to clean the bath to white

  • Mix 2 tbsp. l. calcined and 2 tbsp. l. baking soda.
  • Dilute with a little water to make a mushy mass.
  • Rub a wet bath with this mixture.
  • After 10 minutes, mix 50 g of vinegar and 50 g of bleach and apply over the first coat.
  • Rinse the bathtub after half an hour.

How to clean mold from a bathtub

Wipe the affected area with any bleach product. Or replace it with a gentle solution - 2 tsp. tea tree oil per 0.5 liters of water. Spray surfaces with a spray gun. The oil will evaporate within a few hours and the fungus will die faster.

Method number 4: how to bleach an acrylic or cast iron bathtub

  • Dissolve half a packet of baking soda to make a gruel.
  • Rinse the bathtub and thoroughly treat its walls with baking soda liquid.
  • Leave it on for half an hour or an hour to eat away plaque.
  • Dilute 200 g of citric acid with a little water.
  • Moisten the mixture with a sponge and "walk" over the surfaces. The soda will react and the dirt will "go away" before our eyes.
  • Rinse off with running water.

If you do this process once a week, your bath will be snow-white.

How to wash a cast-iron bath from rust

Phosphoric acid costs a penny and removes stubborn rust without damaging the enamel. But, like any acid, it corrodes the hands. Therefore, wear gloves when working with her.

What to do:

  • dilute the acid with water in a ratio of 1:20,
  • apply to rust with a sponge or spray,

  • wash off after 10 minutes.

Cleaning products (Sarma, Bref, Comet) contain oxalic acid. Due to their highly acidic pH, they remove 100% limescale and rust. Kills up to 99.99% of bacteria.

Chemistry with abrasives for acrylic baths is not suitable. It spoils the surface: the bath becomes rough and quickly gets dirty. Therefore, the best way to clean an acrylic bathtub is shampoo or dish detergent. But you can also make a mild bleach yourself.

  • Add ½ cup water.
  • Melt in a water bath until creamy, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the juice of 1 lemon to the mixture.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of glycerin to keep the product from freezing.
  • Pour in half a tablespoon of vodka and mix well.
  • Spread the solution over the bath with a sponge and leave for half an hour, then rinse.

Toothpaste is excellent at removing plaque. Rub the yellowed areas with it and wash off after 15-30 minutes. Repeat as necessary.

How to clean a bathroom drain

A clogged drain negates all the effort spent on cleaning the bathtub. The easiest way to unclog a drain is to use a designated household chemical. It is safe for metal and plastic pipes.

Tiret: thanks to its dense structure, the agent penetrates into the pipe even if there is water in the knee

To prevent clogging of the drain: once a month, pour half a pack of soda into the drain hole and after 10 minutes rinse with hot water.
