How to Clean Fiberglass Tubs and Showers

1. Make a paste of baking soda and water.
2. Wet the surface of the tub or shower stall; gently rub with the paste on a sponge or soft nylon brush.
3. Rinse thoroughly. Never use abrasive cleaners (such as common scouring powder), abrasive scouring pads, steel wool, or scrapers.

Homemade Cleaners for Tile and Bathtubs

• Sprinkle baking soda in place of scouring powder in your tub or on the tiles. Rub with a damp sponge. Rinse thoroughly.
• To remove film buildup on bathtubs, apply full-strength white vinegar to a sponge and wipe the area. Next, use baking soda as you would scouring powder. Rub with a damp sponge and rinse thoroughly.
• Vinegar removes most dirt without scrubbing and doesn’t leave a film. Use 1/4 cup (or more) of vinegar to 1 gallon of water.
• To clean grout, put 3 cups of baking soda into a medium-sized bowl and add 1 cup of warm water. Mix into a smooth paste and scrub into grout with a sponge or toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and dispose of leftover paste when finished.
