How do you clean your tubs and/or showers?
I feel like mine always need to be cleaned! I need something that works and works well!
-
Kaboom works really well on shower scum but it's releases a lot of fumes. I only use it when the shower's been severely neglected. Just spray it on and lightly scrub.
For hard-water stains, I use a pumice stick (they make some specifically for toilets) and that works amazingly well.
-
I second Kaboom but you have to make sure you have your windows open and time for your bathroom to air out!
-
I sprinkle a healthy dose of baking soda, then a 1/2 a cup or so of vinegar and scrub, scrub, scrub. I do the bathtub this way once a week. No fumes, and works well.

Oh dear. I'm moving and need to scrub down my shower... And I can't handle fumes of any sort. I can't use the shower spray, and my husband never remembers. (I suspect this plays a huge role in my mom's decision to trek halfway across the country in helping me move. I haven't quite caught up to her OCD clean-all-the-things yet, but I'm getting there.)

I searched in Pinterest a while back about this- 20 mule team borax (laundry aisle for like $5) works the best for me. Sprinkle on a damp tub and scrub with a stiff brush then rinse out for a little while, it works great!

I normally use Method Tub and Tile with a bristle brush to scrub everything down. Then we use the Method daily shower spray stuff for maintenance. It really does extend the time needed between scrubbings for us.
@lemondrop: I have a big box of that stuff from a failed attempt at making my own detergent (as in I never got around to it). I should try that out!

The directions are fairly vague, but this stuff worked great for us! I hear it also kills ants really well
Hence why I rinse the tub really well after- leave the shower running for 5-10 minutes.

Ugh. I hate cleaning the tub. That's one thing I don't touch and let the cleaners handle. I feel so bad for them.
When we don't have cleaners, I usually either do the scrubbing bubbles shower spray (but that gets expensive) or get a handheld shower spray. I do the spray after every shower (or Wagon Sr. sprays, whoever had the last shower). When things do build up I use this big huge scrubbing brush I got with Kaboom or whatever I have on hand. I usually do this before a shower, NAKED, so that I can shower right after and feel good about myself (and I don't have to worry about getting all wet and/or sweaty doing it).

My cleaning lady does it. She's here right now!

I use comet, it's the only product that works for me. I also use it on my kitchen sink

I'm such a horrible thread starter! I completely forgot about this thread! sorry =/
We have Lysol bathroom cleaner but the smell is SO strong! I ended up using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser this time. I hate cleaning the stupid tubs and now I have to do it again because I don't feel like the erasers did a good enough job.

i use method tub & tile spray and a long handled scrubber thing then rinse it using the shower head. a long time ago, i had a cheap toilet brush that was only for cleaning the tub. maybe my arms are short or something, but i find it uncomfortable to try to bend over & reach to get at all of it with a sponge.
-
I always have a shower scrub brush hanging on my shower door. Occasionally, when I am in the shower, I give a specific area a good scrub down, using just the water from the shower and my brush. Then I spray down the shower afterwards with one of those sprayers that are used to maintain the cleanliness.

A few months ago we bought a box of the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. They have one in there specifically for bathrooms. It worked amazingly. I used to use the Lysol but it literally made me choke, so I stopped. I think hubs still uses the Lysol but now that I'm pregnant, I won't go near it. I stick with the Magic Eraser and I think it does a bang-up job. It got scum up that I hadn't been able to get for years.

Baking soda and vinegar. It requires more elbow grease, but it really gets the tub squeaky clean!
I've cleaned with baking soda & vinegar two days after DH uses the chemical stuff and scrubbed up a nasty brown film. Yuck! Bubbles can't scrub sh*t.
Hence why I rinse the tub really well after- leave the shower running for 5-10 minutes.
