What you need:
1- dirty/filthy tub/shower
1 - dollar store spray bottle
Vinegar
Dawn Dishsoap, Original, Blue one
So I "let" our tub get dirty enough so it would show a difference...ok, I didn't clean it waiting to do this post and also because we were busy house/dog sitting so my housekeeping at home goes downhill when that happens. I bought the vinegar and orginal, blue Dawn Soap at the grocery store and the spray bottle from the Dollar Tree. I measured out 1 cup of vinegar and warmed it in the microwave in a glass measuring cup for 40 seconds. I poured it into the bottle, checked the measurement and then added the Dawn Soap to make it a 1:1 ratio. I heated the vinegar because that seems to make it work best from reading different posts. Shook it all up and then got to spraying. I did a half spray test so I could really see how well it worked.
How the tub looked prior to spraying: (No judging!)
Once it was sprayed on the far side.
It sat for an hour then I turned on the warm water and used a wash cloth to WIPE it away. WOW! The grime really did just wipe right off!
A couple of shots of how it looked after wiping it all down. (I could really see a difference in the plastic bar on the wall. I can see why you could use this for your plastic shower curtains too!)
See how shiny the sprayed/cleaned side is!
I took a few photos then quickly sprayed down the other side. I think I'll give it about a half-hour and then see how well it wipes up.
Notes: It does have a strong smell for the vinegar/soap, but I just turned the vent on while it sat. I noticed that once I got it all rinsed most of the smell dissipated. However, I would still much rather have vinegar fumes to smell then the chemical ones from manufactured cleaners.
So over all, YES, I recommend this as a legit pin and will be using it in the future and sharing it with friends/family.
