I live in a dorm complex where I have my own room but I have to share a bathroom with 1 other person. For the first time in my life, I contracted athlete's foot and then a month later a strange rash on the sole of my right foot ever since using this tub.
I don't have the option of moving out and I'm seriously considering bombing my bathtub with bleach every other day to get rid of whatever nasty germs and diseases my roommate is spreading around the tub.

Every heard of Lysol get a can and spray it just before you use it. You do not need to bomb it. But now that your away from home you may need to take better care your self. When you get out of the shower DRY your feet completely get a pair of showers shoes.

Bleach at least once a week... plus for extra protection they sell sprays for athletes foot at walmart the cheapest brand works really well! My husbands feet started showing clear up within 2 days and it's completely gone now! Also make sure you keep your feet dry, like dry really well when you get out of the shower and if your socks are prone to get wet from sweat you should have extra pairs on you! Another thing that could help is wear flip flops in the shower!

scrub very well with ajax or comet to get all the scum and germs, then rinse. Then mix bleach with water (read directions on bleach, depending on how much you want to use) and spray thoroughly over entire bathtub including faucets, drain, etc. Let sit for a few minutes then rinse thoroughly. I would also keep a bottle of Lysol spray and wipes near the bathtub and tell your roomates to use it after they shower or bathe so the tub can get disenfected continuosly.

When you go shopping get some bleach and when you need to take a shower wash the floor with it or you can also get a spray that contains bleach I use it all the time it's called Scrub Free get the one with the green label on it that's the one with the bleach.

Bleach is good, Hot water and a little bleach should help. But personally I wouldn't want my skin to touch the tub so you could buy a rubber bath mat, put it in the tub before you shower and keep it in your room between showers. You could also wear water shoes and wash your feet after you leave the tub.

Just keep a spray bottle filled with 80% water and a few tablespoons of Clorax bleach.. You don't need much to kill germs, bacteria.. Also, make sure your towel(s) fully dry and that your wash cloth stays yours and yours alone... It also wouldn't hurt to have a pair of shower shoes....Good luck

Bleach and flip flop sandals. Clean the tub with bleach , put on the flip flops then kick your room mate out.

Bleach is good, so is Lysol. You can also invest in some plastic flip-flops, slides, shower shoes, etc. Keep your feet off of the bare floor.
