CAUTION: Tub may become slippery

[Tabitha]

How do you clean up after using a bath bomb or bath oil or other slippery product? I slip on a spa glove (the exfoliating kind) take a small handful of shampoo and run it around & around the tub begining at the top rim & working my way down to the drain making smaller & smaller circles. It takes less than a minute & saves your husband/partner/roomate from screaming what the (fill in the blank) is in the the (fill in the blank) bathtub that just made me slip & bust my (blankety blank blank)?

Excellent idea Tabitha and so simple to do!

I scrub down with a salt bar. Those puppies last forever and I eventually need to move on to something different so the old ones become like scouring pads for me.

I'm with you! I cannot clean my house without one.

I'm also a big fan of the Magic Eraser but for Tabitha's senario I use a Brillo Pad.

In the tub?

W/ the glove & shampoo you don't have to rinse .

I had not thoght about a salt bar. I may have to try that.

I like to use baking soda to clean the tub & sink in between the bleachings. However I haven't tried it with the oils in the tub. I'm still a hard core fan for the magic eraser. I have used it in the tub before with a mild cleaner.

tub

yep I use it in the tub - I have a 4 year old and she gets those crayons for the bath and they leave a ring. If not that I use the old baking soda and vinigar. That works good too! Anything that I dont have to scrub - I LOVE! LOL :? Plus it works great in the sink area - gets rid of the hairspray gunk lol. I even use the Aroma Sink Scents in my bathroom - gotta love the clean smell of it!

I live in a sorta old (1950's) house. With an ORIGINAL bathroom! Very retro pink tile and a great big white porcelain tub. The tubs surface is smooth, but it holds dirt like crazy. I tried shampoo, soft scrub, scrubbing bubbles, vinegar & baking soda. Everything. But that gray shadow never left. Then I heard about extruded melamine foam. You can buy great big huge sheets at some HVAC supply houses and some music stores. It's used as insulation. It's also sold now as Magic Erasers!

After using oils in the tub or shower, I just wipe it down with my towel after I finish drying me. If it is really oily, spritz with vinegar and then wipe it out. I keep a spray bottle in the bathroom as it is my general all around cleaner. Works for me.

I WISH I could use Magic Erasers - I cannot handle the feel of them even enough to take the darned things out of the box! I get shivers and shudder even now just thinking about them. Simply cannot stand the thougth of the feel...

What's in the Magic Eraser? I mean, is there a cleanser or something?

Nope, there is nothing in them. Just little pieces of melamine foam. If you can find a supply house that sells it as insulation you can get huge sheets for a few dollars. Exactly the same thing, way cheaper.
