Prep the Cleaner
Fill a spray bottle with equal parts white vinegar and warm water. For extra cleaning power, sprinkle baking soda over stubborn areas before spraying.
Apply to the Tub
Spray the solution generously over the entire tub, especially where soap scum builds up. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes.
Scrub Without Bending
Use a long-handled scrub brush or sponge to reach all areas while standing. Focus on circular motions to lift grime without leaning over the tub.
Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse the tub with warm water, using a detachable showerhead if possible.
Polish for Shine
Wipe down the surface with a microfiber cloth to remove streaks and leave the tub sparkling.

Hands-Free Option: Attach a scrub brush to a pole or extendable handle for hard-to-reach spots.
Boost Effectiveness: Warm vinegar works better than cold—it loosens grime faster.
