OMG - Tried this today on my shower tray - I cannot believe it worked. It literally looks like I got a brand new shower tray installed, And as you say , hardly any effort required , the acid did 90% of the hard part. Brilliant tip my friend - Dave , IRELAND
Totally works! The slurry wasn't moving anything, so I poured some fresh baking soda over it and added a tiny splash of vinegar and scrubbed - viola! It's UNREAL!!! Thank you!
My shower floor hasn't been totally white for quite a while. I was a little skeptical but thought I'd give this a chance & IT REALLY WORKED. I bought a cleaning brush like the one used in the video; after mixing the baking soda and vinegar together and then spreading on the shower floor, I let it sit that way while I did other stuff. When I started scrubbing with the brush, I noticed it was working!! In some areas, I had to scrub a little bit more than others. But I am totally happy with the results!!! So amazing!!!
Wish I'd taken a before pic! My shower pan looked like a gray stainless steel sink, with some spots almost black! Took 8-10 applications & a lot of elbow grease, but it now looks like new!! Amazing!!!!
This is great, it really works! I had struggled with scrubbing my shower floor to no avail, but this removed the brown stain yuckiness with no hard scrubbing in just a few minutes, and no harsh chemicals! Thank you!
Amazing. I have lived with a approximately 8 inch wide ring of what looked like dirt around the drain. I tried everything and nothing really worked. It was embarrassing when friends dropped by. So I went over to the dollar store and brought the Vinegar and baking soda. Total $1.57 . Came back and mixed as your directions. In my case it took 2 applications as it was just that bad with years of what ever the dirty stuff was. Like Steve below said. "Now it looks like brand new." Thank you so much for posting this.
This worked to get the "orange" rusty type stains off the floor. But the black/brown mineral deposits ... no luck after two applications. I see people getting mixed results in these shower video comments so I am thinking the hardness of the water and floor material make a difference as to what works. My floor was fiberglass, with super hard Arizona water . Tried bartenders friend next, giving it a really hard scrubbing. It took some but not most off it off. Next added a chisel scraper to the bartenders friend and those two together did the trick. Took a couple hours to do a small shower. The stuff seems toxic.
Save yourself sometime. Use easy off oven cleaner, let it set over night. Pour boiling hot water on the next morning, let it drain. Then use a green scrubber only took me three minutes to scrub rinse and done. I tried the baking soda and vinegar didn’t work. Tried lemon juice didn’t work, tried peroxide didn’t work. Get my point. Easy off worked wonders. We had just purchased the house and it was dirty when we moved in. We all plugged the drain and then sprayed the easy off.
I'm a steel worker, so my shower was basically ruined from the steel particles getting embedded and rusting. I put down a bunch of paper towels and poured vinegar on them and let it soak overnight. Next day I took those paper towels off, then did the baking soda vinegar mix and it took almost no effort.
I'm going to try this...........I also have the same on the bottom of our shower tub and along where the water would be if we took baths.....not understanding that at all. We always wipe the shower down after using.
I tried this. I tried oven cleaner, bought so many products and my stubborn stains would not budge!! I picked up a can of Bar Keeper's Friend and within seconds of application and scrubbing it was GONE. Best part is was less than 2 bucks.
Ahhhh it just dawned on me. On tennis shoes with the white rubber bottom that gets stained and won't come off in the wash, I always used toothpaste and brush to scrub and they would come out bright white and clean. Was probably the baking soda that did it... Should probably use just that next time!
I think it all depends on how much mildew you are dealing with. In this vid I did one application, then came back ~ 2hs later to do a second application as it was long overdue for cleaning. Be sure to remix if you do a second application, don't use the the first mixture as the reaction will be spent. If there is any mildew left after the 2nd application, it should come right off with a quick brushing.
I have seen this mixture before and one that has you take lemons and cut them in half and rub every where u want to clean to add citric acid to make the cleaning easier. Going to try it today…we shall see.
I don't really scrub with the baking soda, I just use the nylon brush in this vid to spread the mixture around. I've used this treatment on clear glass surfaces and polished ceramic without having any abrasions.
Vinegar reacts with the bicarbonate making H2CO3 which decomposes to water and CO2 which bubbles away. When you have excess bicarbonate as in the slurry then no acetic acid (vinegar) remains. Hence by making the slurry you’re just wasting the vinegar and making a saturated water solution of bicarbonate. I’d suggest skipping the vinegar and just make a bicarbonate slurry directly with water. But hey...if you like bubbles have a glass of sparkling water with the time and money you saved by avoiding the vinegar step.
Yeah, at the time i made this I had no idea how quickly the carbonic acid would dissipate. I also later found out that the vinegar has a higher ph then carbonic acid. I tried (on several occasions) making videos where I just used straight baking soda or straight vinegar but the cleaning effect was nominal, definitely worse than the outcome of this video. This leaves my head scratching, something about this mixture is making better results but it likely isn't the outcome of acidity or abrasiveness.
I’d be cautious about using any dark color vinegars due to the possibility of staining. Ultimately the vinegar is just an easily available acidic solution.
I took a electric sander, some ajax and some water , applied a green scotch brite pad and scrubbed it. I work on cars lol it cleaned it way better than this.
"stains" are one thing, limescale is not a stain its an accretion, I tried this and it didn't do anything. Even half a bottle of acidic toilet bowl cleaner did nothing and it left the limescale completely untouched.
Yeah, this won't work on limescale - you must have really hard water. When I was younger, I lived in an area where that was common. People that had that problem had to invest in water softeners. It was a common sight in kitchens.
Theres nothing here that helps me .my shower treay is clean as i keep it that way but after 12 years its turned a yellow ish colour ,is there a video out there that can show me a miracle that can get rid of the yellowish ....?????

Makes sense, can't wait to try it. Thanks for not making this a long, dramatic video. 😊

Thank you so much...this is by far the easiest and best way for me to clean my shower.

CaptKeo also try totally awesome... shit works magic on everything

Used on plastic shower pan that has texture grooves full of dirt and scum. This cleaned it up nicely.

In addition to this process, I laid a towel over the shower floor and poured vinegar over it and soaked for an hour. Cleaned up very easily.

I hate plastic showers. It’s such a pain. I feel like they get dirty so fast.
I strongly agree with you
I agree with you so much. They’re a complete nuisance.
I'm going to try this...........I also have the same on the bottom of our shower tub and along where the water would be if we took baths.....not understanding that at all. We always wipe the shower down after using.
Bar keepers friend will do the trick.
Thanks . Looks the exact same

Great tip. I'm going try this out.
@@user-lr5tr5ey8t Yes! It worked for my oven too.
Just used this method on a gross shower pan and now it looks like new.
is your floor solid smooth or textured? Ours ours is textured... and its so stained. Ill never know how that even happens.
how long do we wait before going to use scrub brush im doing this now

How did it work I don’t have any lemons 🤣??
@@Chorkymom no lemons. Didn’t work very well I have a new product to try. We’ll see.
WoW!
Will this get up a Lysol Cling Gel streak? I used that to clean my shower and now it streaked. I’ve tried everything to get it up except this.
Uncertain but if its a fiberglass shower pan - no harm in trying it. Maybe do a test area and see if it has any effect.
Would the brush and baking soda scratch up the smooth walls/non-textured fiberglass?
I don't really scrub with the baking soda, I just use the nylon brush in this vid to spread the mixture around. I've used this treatment on clear glass surfaces and polished ceramic without having any abrasions.
Can you use apple cider vinegar or does it have to be white vinegar only?
White vinegar is distilled, usually the refined products have more acidity. And you don' t have to worry about staining as white vinegar is clear!
Vinegar reacts with the bicarbonate making H2CO3 which decomposes to water and CO2 which bubbles away. When you have excess bicarbonate as in the slurry then no acetic acid (vinegar) remains. Hence by making the slurry you’re just wasting the vinegar and making a saturated water solution of bicarbonate.

I don’t have white vinegar can I use a different kind of vinegar please I only have a different color of vinegar I want to know thanks
I’d be cautious about using any dark color vinegars due to the possibility of staining. Ultimately the vinegar is just an easily available acidic solution.
how long did you leave it on?
I walked away for over an hour. With these low ph substances you have to give it time to work.
Doing right away
How much vinegar goes into the soda?
My rule of thumb is to add and stir until its has paste-like consistency.
I took a electric sander, some ajax and some water , applied a green scotch brite pad and scrubbed it. I work on cars lol it cleaned it way better than this.
That made other cleaners into a joke. I wiped it up in seconds. That's what I'm talking about. No time wasted. Back to business.
Spray on oven cleaner, a lot, then let it sit for 2 hours, then wipe with magic eraser and water. Will be Brite white and beautiful.
I tried everything and nothing worked until this comment here. Not all heroes/heroines wear capes!!!!! Thank you Kelly!!!!!!
How much vinegar did you add to the 1/2 cup of baking soda? Thanks
Isidora Mateu I just mix enough so that the solution is pasty, I don't use an exact ratio - rather I aim for a consistency

vinegar works alone with 0 scrubbing.
No acid
Let it soak for a few hours then scrub.

Say SLURRY ONE MORE TIME.. (IN SAMUAL JACKSONS VOICE)
i have apple cider vinegar will that work as well ?
Navjot Sumal I would stick to white vinegar as it is a distilled product and has a greater acidity than apple cider vinegar.
Navjot Sumal
Bleach and Ajax
Didn’t work for me. Back to the drawing board.
Theres nothing here that helps me .my shower treay is clean as i keep it that way but after 12 years its turned a yellow ish colour ,is there a video out there that can show me a miracle that can get rid of the yellowish ....?????
looks the same
Get rid of that nasty ass green loofa while your at it omg
