Taking a bath in a filthy tub won't get you clean. But giving your bathtub a cleaning with Calcium, Lime & Rust Remover at least once a month will keep built up tub scum out of your soak. Over time, soap scum, hard water deposits, body oils, mildew, and rust stains can build up on bathtub surfaces and leave your bathroom looking dull and dirty. Regular cleaning not only helps your tub look better, but can also help prevent stubborn stains, unpleasant odors, and mineral buildup from becoming harder to remove later on.
How to Clean A Bathtub Using Calcium, Lime & Rust Remover
- Put on rubber cleaning gloves
- Remove everything from the tub (toys, mats, loofahs, etc.)
- Apply Calcium, Lime & Rust Remover to a sponge or cloth
- Wipe tub thoroughly and completely with the soaked sponge or cloth
- Wait 2 minutes
- Rinse with tub with cold water
For best results, clean your tub once a week. Regular cleaning helps prevent soap scum, hard water stains, and grime from building up over time, making future cleanings faster and easier.
How To Clean The Drain In The Tub
Bathtub drains are often overlooked during regular bathroom cleaning, but they can collect hair, soap residue, oils, and other debris that contribute to odors and slow drainage over time. Keeping the drain clean not only helps water flow properly, but also helps maintain a cleaner, fresher bathtub overall.
To clean the drain area, remove any visible debris from the drain opening and flush with warm water if needed. Applying a drain cleaning solution can help loosen buildup inside the drain and around the surface where soap scum and residue tend to collect.
For regular maintenance, use CLR Brands Drain Opener and Clog Preventer to help break down common buildup caused by hair, soap scum, and everyday bathroom debris. Incorporating drain maintenance into your routine bathtub cleaning can help prevent tougher clogs, standing water, and unpleasant odors before they start.
Removing Rust From A Bathtub
Rust stains can make even a recently cleaned tub appear dirty or worn down. These stains commonly develop from hard water, metal bath products, shaving cans, or dripping faucets that leave mineral deposits behind. Learning how to get rid of rust in a bathtub early can help prevent stains from becoming more stubborn over time.
Apply Calcium, Lime & Rust Remover directly to rust-stained areas to help dissolve buildup and discoloration more easily. Allow the product to sit briefly before wiping and rinsing thoroughly with cold water. Regular cleaning can help reduce the return of rust stains and keep your bathtub looking cleaner longer.
For everyday maintenance between deep cleans, use CLR Brands Bath & Kitchen Everyday Clean Spray to help remove fresh soap scum, water spots, and bathroom grime before buildup has a chance to accumulate. Frequent touch-up cleaning can help keep your tub surfaces looking cleaner and make weekly bathroom cleaning easier.
