How do I remove layers of soap scum from my fiberglass tub & shower.?

Question

I have tried many things on the market but haven't found one that works.

Answer 1

If there are dried on layers of scum, a plastic scraper will do the trick. Also, for the cleaners you are using, make sure you are letting them soak for a while before scrubbing.

Answer 2

Hi - My husband was a mechanic and as you can imagine, the tub was always a mess! We have fiberglass and I, like you, tried many things. The best item is the Mr Clean magic eraser. You still have to wipe with it, but with a small amount of elbow grease, all the gunk comes off. For in-between cleaning, Scrubbing Bubbles seems to do the trick. The other thing I discovered is that bar soap leaves more scum than liquid soap, so we have both changed to liquid body washes and it makes a difference. My hubby even likes to use the "puff" (in black, of course...)
Good Luck!

Answer 3

Heat white vinegar until it is hot, but not too hot to pout into a spray bottle. spray it on the shower and tub wait 10 min and scrub with a sponge covered in vinegar. if you have a hard to move spot let it soak longer in vinegar. this really does the trick and will leave a spot free shine!

Answer 4

Sounds crazy, but the best thing I've found to clean the tub is toilet cleaner. Try it, see if it works for you!

Answer 5

Car wax... yup, car wax. Cool thing is that once you have it clean, the wax provides a beading effect to prevent it from happening easily in the future.

Answer 6

tell your husband that you all need to sell the house because the shower is dirty and it would be easier to by a new house with a already clean shower
