How do you clean a bathtub? It might seem simple. It can be not easy if you don’t know where to begin. It can also be confusing because of all the different cleaning products available.
Some bathtubs can be difficult to clean due to their intricate designs. How can you clean your bathtub without wasting a lot of time? Let us show you how to make your bathtub shine again.
How Often Do You Need to Clean Your Bathtub?
The frequency you clean your bathtub will depend on how often you use it and how well you care for the surface. It is best to clean your bathtub quickly after every use with a microfibre cloth, sponge or sponge. If this is not possible, you can wipe it down with a dry towel once per week to remove any scum.
It is recommended to give your bath a routine cleaning once a week and then a deep clean once per month if used frequently. If you have a shower curtain, it is a good idea to clean it regularly. This will keep mould from building up and your bathroom smelling fresh. You may need to clean the tub more frequently, depending on how dirty it gets. If necessary, give it a quick wipe-down before you use it to remove any dirt or germs.

Experts recommend this step-by-step guide for cleaning your bathtub.
Drain Hair can become clogged over time. Soap remnants and body fats, as well as hair, can cause it to clump together and build up in the drains. It won’t be fixed by hot water. Sink strainers and drain covers are smart ways to prevent the problem from becoming a major issue. However, it is important to treat it regularly.
HG Hair Unblocker can be used to clean your bathroom drains. Use the first container from the pack to clean the drain. Next, pour the contents of the second bottle into the drain. Leave the product for at least an hour before rinsing. It contains potassium hydroxide, which dissolves hair, soap residues and other obstructions in drains. After drain cleaning, water will flow freely.
Clean the tiles around the bathtub. We clean the walls and tiles around your tub to ensure dirt doesn’t get onto areas we haven’t cleaned before. Because Flash Spray with Bleach can be used to remove stains and prevent mould growth around grout, it is great for this purpose. Spray the product onto the area to be cleaned, let it sit for about a minute, then wipe off with a microfibre towel. Use a scrub brush to get rid of any stubborn stains.
Clean the taps. The taps are often covered with soap scum, where limescale is most likely to build up. Leave the taps to soak for five minutes before applying Viakal. To remove limescale, use an old toothbrush. Rinse with water and buff the surface with a microfibre cloth. This method can be used to clean the plug hole fittings, metal plug, and overflow grating.
Clean the tub in the entire bath area, including the rim, interior walls, and floor. You might not realize it, but limescale can also build up in these areas. The bath’s surface can become yellowish-off-white from limescale. It’s possible that you won’t realize it until after the tub has been cleaned.
Spray all surfaces of your bath with the Viakal 3in1 Bath Spray and let it sit for five minutes. Use a microfibre towel or agitate the bath with a scrub brush for tougher marks. To remove any residue, rinse with warm water.
Here are Top Tips to Keep Your Bath CLEAN for Longer
Use a squeegee or a sponge to remove water from the walls and tub.
Flash with Bleach is a great way to clean tile grout. Please don’t wait for mould or mildew growth before you treat it. It’s much more difficult to get rid of mould and mildew stains once they have formed.
Use an old washing-up glove to remove limescale from taps. Fill the glove with Viakal Original and pull the tap over. Secure the elastic band with a rubber band. The hack will soak the tap in Viakal, which is much more effective than a simple spray.
