How to Make a Yellowed Bathtub Sparkling White in Just 15 Minutes: The Cleaning Lady’s Secret
There’s nothing quite as off-putting as a bathtub that’s lost its gleam and has developed that stubborn yellowish tint. Over time, soap scum, body oils, hard water stains, and general grime can all contribute to a dingy-looking tub, even if it’s not very old. If you’re struggling to get your tub back to its original pristine white, don’t fret — there’s a simple, effective trick that many professional cleaners swear by.
Here’s the cleaning lady’s secret to turning a yellowed bathtub into a sparkling white one in just 15 minutes. Say goodbye to age-old dirt, stubborn stains, and discoloration!
✨ What You’ll Need:
- Baking soda (the magic ingredient!)
- Hydrogen peroxide (3% solution)
- Dish soap (preferably a degreasing one)
- A clean cloth or sponge
- A spray bottle
- Old toothbrush (for scrubbing tight spots)
- Gloves (for protection)
🧽 The 15-Minute Miracle Method
Step 1: Clear the Tub and Gather Your Materials
Start by removing any items from the tub — bath mats, shower curtains, toiletries, or anything else that might get in the way. You want a clean canvas to work with. Then, gather all your materials, so everything is ready to go.
Step 2: Create the Cleaning Paste
In a small bowl or container, combine the following ingredients to create a powerful cleaning paste:
- 1/2 cup of baking soda
- 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide
- 1 tablespoon of dish soap
Mix these ingredients into a thick paste. The baking soda will help to scrub away the grime, while hydrogen peroxide will break down the yellow stains, and dish soap will cut through any greasy residue.
Step 3: Apply the Paste to the Yellowed Areas
Now it’s time to get your hands dirty (but in the best possible way)! Using a clean cloth or your hands (wear gloves to protect your skin), apply the paste generously to the yellowed, stained areas of the bathtub. Focus on spots where the discoloration is the worst, but feel free to cover the entire surface for a thorough clean.
Step 4: Let It Sit
Let the paste sit for 10–15 minutes. This gives the cleaning agents time to work their magic and break down the stubborn dirt and stains. You’ll notice that the hydrogen peroxide will start to fizz and bubble, which means it’s actively lifting grime and stains from the surface.
Step 5: Scrub Away the Dirt
After the paste has had time to work, grab an old toothbrush or a soft sponge and gently scrub the tub’s surface. Focus on areas with heavy stains or soap scum build-up. For stubborn spots, apply a little more paste directly and scrub in a circular motion to get deep into the stains.
Step 6: Rinse and Admire
Once you’ve scrubbed the entire tub, rinse it thoroughly with warm water to wash away all the paste and grime. Use a clean cloth to wipe down the tub and dry off any excess moisture. You’ll immediately see that the yellowish tint has disappeared, and your tub will be gleaming white once again!
