Martha Stewart's Tub Scrub

SUCCESS!

We rent our current house and the previous renters apparently did not EVER wash the inside of their tub—NASTY.  (All of you people out there who don't scrub your tub, shame!  I know it isn't a really fun job, but HONESTLY.  Clean your tubs people!)  I have tried a multitude of cleaners to get the brown stains off of the bottom of our tub—Bleach, OxiClean, a Magic Eraser, Kaboob, you name it—nothing has worked.  UNTIL I tried Martha Stewart’s Tub Scrub from Pinterest!  THANK YOU PINTEREST for being the most AWESOME site EVER!  This worked like a charm—it was easy to make, didn’t even take much scrubbing, and rubbed the stains right off!  I will admit there are a few small spots still on the bottom, but it is SO much better—and I am ecstatic!  Check out the before and after pictures below—keep in mind that the before stains are AFTER all of the other failed cleaners.

Tips/Thoughts:

·        I used tea-tree oil (purchased at Vitamin World for about $6—the lady there also told me it was a great disinfectant if you put a few drops in a tub of water to soak scrapes/ect). 

·        I followed the measurements on Martha’s recipe exactly, and it made enough to scrub 2 tubs and there was still probably enough for ½ a tub left over.  I stored the rest—I’ll let you know if it is still good after storage!

·        Our tub is not porcelin—not sure what it is called, but it is an all-in-one unit that fits into the wall & is some type of plastic

Not sure why I didn't take these at the same angle, but oh well

And now, a close-up of the scuz

AH-mazing.  Just amazing--I will never use another tub scrub again.  AND, never fear anyone who rents this house after us, I WILL keep our tub from EVER getting this nasty again.
