Baths
Cleaning your bathroom should be at the heart of your household cleaning routine. Ideally, you should wipe your bathroom with a sponge and rinse with water after each use to prevent soap scum build up. This means that your bathroom requires much less attention in the long term and reduce the need for the difficult process of washing away the hardened residue.

Limestone can be removed fiberglass and acrylic bathtubs using a solution of half white vinegar and half water. Try not to get the vinegar on the bath and also remember to rinse thoroughly and dry.
At the bottom of most of the baths is a rubber mat that the CNA be rubbed with a little dishwashing detergent and a brush or a soft cloth. Otherwise, you can use baking soda on a sponge for a grittier own. Moulds growing on the underside of the carpet should be cleaned with a nail brush, using a mixture of one part bleach to four parts warm water.

Showers
As tubs, showers should be wiped with a towel after use and rinsed with water. Glass walls may be dry or doors and curtains left open to allow air to circulate.

Use a nylon scouring pad and working from top to bottom, using an old toothbrush or brush sauce on any stubborn stains or buildup.
