We made a video all about how to clean a bathtub a few years ago, and based on the feedback we received from that video we wanted to put a second video together with more concise, step-by-step instructions, on how to clean your bathroom tub and tiles in the easiest most efficient way.

If you don't have a detachable shower head, a watering can for flowers makes rinsing easy.
Great idea!!! Thanks!
Nice! Thanks!
Thank you for that!!
Great tip!!
Great idea! Ty
Do you want to see more videos talking about easier, more ergonomic ways to clean?
Clean My Space Yes! My issues are chronic knee and back pain, so helpful ideas in those two areas would be great!
Yes ,I would like to see step by step videos....your cleaning tips are really helpful for me especially the S pattern and the top down approach
Yes please! You shouldn't have to break your back to keep a clean house.
Clean My Space yes!!! Please! I watch these videos for tips and have to adapt a lot to fit my physical limitations. The OXO Extendable Tub and Tile Scrubber you recommend is a win win for us in the mobility challenged crowd ♿ I'll definitely be watching your videos for more tips. 👍💕😁
YESSS
Off topic but you really remind me of Janet from that netflix show, The Good Place.
I love Janet! Great character!
Lol!! Omg you're right 😂
THATS WHO IT WAS.
I couldnt remember, thank you!
I KNEW I RECOGNIZED HER AND SHE LOOKED FAMILLIER
haha yes
I dread cleaning my shower, I end up getting overwhelmed by it. This video inspired me! Your step by step organization made it easier, and that last step of the microfiber cloth after the squeegee was the cherry in top! It finished the job perfectly! I even ignored my "fancy" chemical cleaners😷 and made the simple ones that you suggested! I love using vinegar to clean! Thanks!
Use a Mr clean eraser
As a regular, able bodied 20-something (ok, ok, for another year or so), I love my scrubber on a telescoping pole. It allows me to stand in one spot and get all the walls without crazy hands and knees scrubbing. Sure it may not be as thorough, but if you do it consistently the build up doesn't really happen anyway. Also, that convenience means I'm going to be more inclined to do it in the first place which is what really matters in the end.
I really like the step-by-step format! I was never taught how to wash a tub or shower, so it was helpful to have it laid out like this, where I can follow along. I don't personally need ergonomic products or methods, but I think it's nice to consider viewers who do have limited mobility.
The information on ergonomics and especially physical limitations was very much appreciated. I was paralyzed 38 years ago by a gunshot wound when I was 21. First question : how to make the bed. No one knew so I figured it out myself. Fast forward to this year and, with a husband and two grown men "babies" living at home while going to grad school, I stumbled onto your videos. I got rid of my cleaning lady and do it all myself, including the walls. I also cut down on store bought chemicals. My kids think I'm nuts being use baking soda on everything. But boy, do they all appreciate the clean house!!! So thanks for the videos and for considering ppl in my situation!!!!
How do you reach the tub?
I have had a housekeeper for many years. I have now retired and have the time and desire to clean my own home. Your videos are so helpful for me! The step by step is great
I have the sudden urge to go clean my shower 😂
Wait it will pass lol
Hajira S. Haha same
Not me
Go do it! Not only will you be having fun, but you’ll be doing chores!
oh, you poor dear, sit on your recliner , put your feet up, have a cup of herbal tea (no caffeine) , some chocolate, a heating pad or ice pack (your choice), and watch reruns of I love Lucy. You will be much better by the end if the show. :)
REMEMBER: if you squeegee after every shower/bath, the buildups will dramatically decrease
I know it must have been SO HARD for her to let it build up
Wish I had a squeegee to do this
Say Ruiz Christmas is coming up! 😊
@@Sayonararuiz if you have a Dollar Tree around, $1.00 they also have fairly good cleaning products, wipes etc.
This is true. As long as you squeegee after every shower, it takes like a year for stuff to build back up.
The only problem is if you have a shower curtain you can't really squeegee that. It's going to slowly drip off into your nice dry tub
Yes! I absolutely love your step by step layout, complete with the tools and techniques. Yours is the best cleaning video I've viewed.
I love your step-by-step video and seeing that I don’t have to get my clothes soaking wet while doing the steps in the order that you’re talking about. I’m using your cleaning materials and tools and I follow all of your videos and thank you for putting them up.I feel inspired to clean now!
I loved the breakdown of the technique!! I also loved the categorization: tools + products, technique. So helpful!!!
Loved how you explained the products you need and you showed step by step the proper way to clean the shower. It was also helpful that your videos are linked to each other, the last video I watch was about how to clean your bathroom, the shower curtains, toothbrush holder, hand towels. Loved both! Thanks
Yes, I love the step by step cleaning. So much easier to clean.
I love this style of video! SO helpful! I would love to see a ton more of these step by step videos in all the big areas of the house! Thank you Melissa :)
I have a ton of health problems, so I suggest a lot of breaks in between tasks. Don't wear yourself out. Also, like when I sweep (because it hurts my back), I sit in a computer rolly chair and sweep or mop 😁 But like she said with the tub, let the product work for you! I'll spray everything down and then come back to it in a few minutes. And if you have kids, outsource that mess! We all grew up with chores, don't be afraid to give them some too!
TheBexi hey found someone who does the same - 'sit roll n sweep!
TheBexi, my phone tells me the time every fifteen minutes. I work for 15, then relax for 15. The chore eventually gets done ☺️
Good ideas! In regards to kids, parents, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make them do chores. I got away with a lot when I was younger now I regret it. I can't pass it off to others now unless I pay someone. It's nice to do that if you can afford it &/or you don't have time but I find it very satisfying to be able to clean my own space. I'm still learning & getting used to doing it but now it gives me a sense of satisfaction. It's empowering!
Hi. I have chronic anemia getting iron infusions, fibromyalgia, and osteoarthritis in most of my joints. My shoulder and clavicle of my dominant arm may need surgery so I understand pain... 20 years pain. I clean tub regular (twice a week) and my son and daughter make sure they rinse scum when they get out. I use natural products also and I have a tub with porous material. I spray and let it sit 5 min. then come back and rinse. A tip for you: If you have similar joint issues and receive injections, tell your orthopedic specialist that you want a marcaine & depo-medradol injection. It will kill the joint pain. I may need surgery on shoulder and knee so it still hurts a Lil but I have been immune to toradol and demoral and some other cortisones for the last 15 years and these last 3 weeks have been 80% pain free in all of my joints . Just thought I'd mention that... Sorry for long comment.
Or try not to work so hard, especially for the stubborn Tile Grout, easier after cleaned n dried, Use a tile grout/caulk gun n retrace the lines to bring back the nice White grout 👍
This video is amazing! I followed your step by step process and my shower has never looked better!
Love the step-by-step! The details I see can make a difference. Eugonomics is becoming more helpful. My back is usually sore after doing my larger tub from being hunched over. Thank you!
Just started a cleaning company this was super helpful!!! Love the natural products, and the step my step instructions super helpful 😊
I really appreciate the step by step videos! Always willing to learn easier more efficient ways to clean! So yes to both questions! Thanks!
My fiberglass tub/shower was in really bad shape. I was having some back problems and I needed a much easier than scrubbing method and I came across a site where a landlord had searched for the best way to clean fiberglass. They contacted the manufacturer and was told to use low fume oven cleaner on it. You spay it on, let it sit for awhile and then you use a wet rag and wipe it off. It was amazingly easy and unbelievably the tub was brand new looking. I don't care to use many chemicals in my house, but this method is unbelievable. I now also use it on my stove top when it gets real bad.
Another tip that I just got from the contractor who is remodeling our bathroom. Our fiberglass tub with surround is from 1983, when the house was built, and it's still in good shape. He said that tubs and tile stay cleaner, longer, if you don't use bar soap, which we don't. I learned in microbiology that soap bars are disgusting. If you wash your hands with bar soap, vs no soap, then touch the inside of a petri dish, more bacteria grows inside the one that was touched after using bar soap. Switch to liquid and your tub and tile will stay cleaner, and you won't rub bacteria all over your body.
Yes! Very helpful. I love step by step instructions! Thanks!
I am so glad you are addressing ergonomic tools and methods. I’d love to see you using/demonstrating these tools. Thanks!
Since I started watching you videos, I recently moved into my first own apartment. I've been enjoying cleaning my space and being resourceful with cleaning products and tools so I don't waste money buying a bunch of different items for only one specific task. Thanks so much!
Hey Melissa: Thanks for doing step by step. I liked it. It helps me clean better. Thanks Ruth..
The extendable pole she linked is what I have and I love it! Reaches the top of the tiles and the bottom of bath. You can buy a brush attachment for it too.
You Made Everything SO Much Easier. Thank You. I Like The Steps You Took In This Video.
Omg yesssss please! I have adhd and arthritis, so I appreciate your step by step instructions as well as the ergonomic cleaning tool suggestions. Thank you Melissa 🙏🏻
I have to say. Your videos make me want to clean! I love it! 😄
Love the step by step. Also love great ergonomic ideas. You’re inspiring me to try cleaning my own space again. It has always been something I’ve regretted afterwards because it has been tough on my allergies and my body.
Cheap face masks are really helpful with allergies!
Ergonomics is SUPER important to me as I have a lot of issued with my back. So glad you are integrating this into your videos! Thank you!
I like this format, it is motivating to watch others clean for whatever reason. I got the urge and cleaned my whole bathroom last night and using this method was the best so far for my tub. I never used to dry my tub but after having some mold growth I can really see the benefit of drying down the walls with a towel or squeegee. After I dried myself off after showering this morning I just used my towel to wipe down everything. I wash my towels often because I live in a high humid environment so air drying usually makes them stink. Ah how nice it was to shower in a clean shower!
Love this format! Thanks for sharing!
Marriage & Motherhood ahh I love your channel too!! Awesome to see you watch Melissa
I'm also
Awesome video

@@victoriacrudup3477 I think check her video description. She includes some product links there.
@@victoriacrudup3477 came across it on her website but lost the link now: it is -
* ¼ cup dish soap
* ¼ cup baking soda
* 2 tbsps hydrogen peroxide
* 10 drops essential oil (optional)
I really enjoy your step by step videos. I am a teacher of Life Skills for disabled adults through a not for profit charity. I bought your book several months ago (it’s great) to reference in my classes and then follow up with your RUclips videos. I have alway found that modelling is important when teaching this population and your videos have a clear plan and you are so well spoken that it makes learning cleaning techniques easier. Thank you so much for continuing to develop videos !
Yes to all your questions, and also would be helpful to have the step-by-step instructions listed in the description of the video also. Keep up the great work!
I love these videos so much. My mom never teaches me anything but expects me to know. This definitely helpse keep her from getting all frustrated when I do things wrong
Hope you teach your kids in future! Good luck
I really did like the step by step tutorial.
I also would love the ergonomic steps as I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Degenerative Disc Disease. I'm always in some degree of chronic pain which limits my ability to clean. I would love to know how to get to back behind the commode as it is especially difficult.
Love your channel!!
Thanks,
Betty
I have never let the products sit. Now that I do, it makes so much difference. Thank you!!!!
Yes,step by step is very structured and motivating to me!Keep these videos coming!😍
I do like the step by step. I also suffer from chronic pain, so anything that can help to make things easier on my back would be much appreciated! Due to my problems I end up using much harsher chemicals that do more of the work so I can actually get a job done. And as a side note, the reminder of the “S” pattern is great! I forget it when I clean way too often and over work as a result. Thanks for the tips!
FicGhostWriter I made a post about this product a minute ago but I HIGHLY recommend Clorox Scentiva cleaner. It's a continuous foam that bombs the worst of the worst and smells fantastic, doesn't smell like bleach. I hope you will try it. It's the best we've ever found and very helpful for those of us who can't bend or kneel to scrub hard.
I use a daily shower spray that stops scum build up to start with. Makes cleaning the whole place easier and quicker.
Heather O'Day, I copied your comment about the clorox product so I'll remember to get it. Thank you sooooo much!
Love love love step by step!
I absolutely LOVE the step by step method! It makes it SUPER easy to follow, pause and understand!! I love the tips on saving the body. My mother is a senior citizen who lives alone and she absolutely needs tools so she doesn't have to crouch to clean. She admitted to using a mop to clean the tub( eww gross. 😫) 😂 lol, I can't wait o try this, but I don't have a squeegee, what else can I use?
How happy she looks to show off the products made me chuckle. love the enthusiasm.
I really love the hit-you-over-the-head simple step by step format. And I second the request for advice on plastic/fiberglass shower pans and stalls. The logistics of rinsing without getting soaked in a tight enclosed space are a major mystery to me! I think some rubber wellies are in my future.
And which product to use to clean without yellowing the walls like vinegar does.
Can't believe you had a baby not long ago! Still your wonderful self!
Great video! Thanks for all your great tips!❤😊
I have learned it from you and use same techniques step by step :) always appreciated by everyone for having spotless white baths
Your videos have saved me so much time cleaning. I actually enjoy it now and my bathroom looks 100 times better. Thank you.
This little ruclips.net/user/postUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.
I love your cleaning videos!! They inspire to get up and move ! ♥️♥️♥️🤗🤗🤗
rdmgirl0 but you should be doing that already if you're the adult...
yes to both questions! Love the new style of video and everyone needs ergonomic techniques, It will always be easier on the backs!!
Yes! I love the step by steps! It is super helpful in trying to show my students.
I started watching your videos 2 weeks ago and am hooked! I’ve been super motivated and get such a sense of fulfillment after doing a cleaning.
Thank you!!
Bravo love your cleaning techniques you make it so much easier and when you have limitations that's what people crave for is the shortcuts it helps so much physically please keep sharing God bless
You're tools n products you use are sooooo helpful continue to share what make cleaning easier
I just sent this video to my daughter! She definitely needed the step-by-step process! Thanks for your videos.
I love this but I feel porcelain tubs and shower tiles are more if the "easier" surfaces to clean. I have a stand up shower with a "plastic bottom" and I have the hardest time getting the stained color out! I also hate the silver tracks at the bottom that get dirty soo fast! Can you make a video on those types of surfaces? And yes we want more ergonomic ways! 😊
I have the same problem. I found the Mr Clean sponges work really well on soap scum buildup and plastic bottom tubs. Cleaning the tub and shower are my least favorite chores.
Nancy Dan Same.
Sheena-Marie Roots agree! The metal tracks, especially
CLR Cleaner is the only thing that I found that will clean the bottom of my fiberglass shower.
Use a good cleaner. To help with the scrubbing to get everything out use a brush on a cordless drill. Once done use a good car was paste. It will seal the surface so it doesn't get dirty again. But on the floor of it it will make it slippery so use a shower mat to grip
Hey Melissa. I love your videos. You have helped me to have a cleaner house; and I share your tips with my friends and family. My suggestion is to show on the screen the steps that you do and de products that you use written down. I'm asking this because it easier to understand what you say for someone who is not an English speaking native. Thanks a lot. I'm from Chile.
Thank you so much for sharing the expandable scrubber for the tub. I have a really bad back wobbly one right after this video. I used it the other day and it helped me so much.
100% love this style! All those little tips and tricks you mention are super helpful, please keep such videos coming! Love from Germany
This was an awesome video. I think my cleaning just became much easier. I’ve never let the product pre-treat!
I enjoyed your video. First of all let me tell you how much I like your cloths. I bought them when you had the sale and I'm really liking using them. They really do work as well as you say! I clean houses for work and so sometimes I don't get to clean my house lol. I have discovered a way of cleaning that is a bit simpler and has worked great. One home I had had terrible mineral spots all over their tiles in the bathroom and overtime they are completely gone and the tiles Sparkle like new. First I spray the walls of the shower with whatever cleaner I choose to use at the time. Then I spray the bathtub. I clean the bathtub on my knees while the shower is soaking. Then I rinse the shower and tub in hot water. My final step is to wipe the walls down and there is a beautiful shine left. I also do this in my own home right after a shower as the walls are steamed up and moist from my shower. First of course I remove all the items in the shower as you said. That helps me clean my own tub and not have to spend a lot of time scrubbing. I also wipe the walls down after my showers in between Washings. That helps also to keep them clean and not have that mold build up so quickly under my shampoos and such.
I use hot water too, to "soften" soap scum in the tub. I found a nice, thick kneeling pad (in the garden part of Walmart) and it helps me tremendously.
Maria Galbick, I have seen a show with people who are terrible hoarders. One of them was a cleaning lady!
Yes, so do I... It is quite nice for the knees, yes?👍
I love your video's. I'm starting a new life with my parents who are now seniors and I need all the info I can get to keep the house under control properly. Thank you
Very useful tips. Thanks for the advice
Try using a broom instead of a sponge to scrub your tub. It's bigger and easy on the knees and back!
I cleaned my bathroom for the first time last week. It took me 4 hours lol
Anthony Khallouf congrats!! That's a huge job! The more often you tidy a bit every day, the easier it becomes.
Anthony Khallouf I feel your pain, I hate cleaning my bathroom
Hi Melissa, great video! Love the style. Unfortunately I have to use concrobium in mine 😶
Anthony Khallouf Damn....
Anthony Khallouf Damn...you're a bachelor, huh? Learn by example: clean your tub and shower while IN it and then shower...and keep a sponge behind your sink to clean it up after shaving, etc....
Watching you is inspiring. I really like the idea of pre-treatment. That's brilliant. Thank you! 🌷
Guys are into clean spaces too Melissa. Thank You so much for this step by step tutorial. It IS hard work the first time around, but the maintenance is easy afterwards. Yes! Keep em coming.
Clean My Space Hello! I’d love to see a video on how to clean pots, pans and their lids. I have lids that are glass with the metal lining and they tend to get a lot of hunk stuck in the cracks. How do you clean that off? Also, I recently came back from vacation and realized that I had forgotten to throw out a pan with food. It was accidentally left out so it had mold growing. How can you wash and disinfect the pan?
Thanks!
Does anyone know the breakdown of the cleaning products recipe?
yes on the step by step format, and YES on ergonomic tips.THANKS
This was great. I didn’t know about this DIY tub Cleaner or the tools. Thank you, very helpful.
i am 60yrs old and i have my own cleaning buss for 40yearsi clean hotelsi have cleaned many homes wedding placesmansion homes with up to 18rooms that takes me three daysofficesyou name it i clean itthank you jesu for my strenth
It would be very helpful to demonstrate how to clean with limited mobility or pain, as some people need to actually see this done.
Love the step by step thanks. I use the pole sponge for the bathtub, it works great
Good video. I am 70 & have a scrub brush on a pole from the hardware store and this has helped me very much
YES I AM DISABLED THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!
Melissa, I use your spray recipe to wet the tub and surround, but then, I also use a big scoop of OxyClean along with the baking soda. The OxyClean powers through the scum, and kills mildew, as well as sanitizes the tub and surround.

I’m confused about what the spray recipe is...
Very helpful!! I always wondered how my cleaning ladies got my bathroom so sparkly! I wanted to keep it cleaner between their visits, but always felt intimidated. This was very clear and helpful!
The step-by-step is so very helpful! Thank you!!
I spray mine down with a half and half mixture of dawn and vinegar, wait a bit and then scrub with a magic eraser, works like magic!
Jennifer S when I do this it stains my tub blue from the dawn and wont come off
I would really like it if you linked the tub and tile cleaner recipe. I only saw the grout cleaner recipe linked above. I love the step by step format of this video! Very helpful!
Dominique Designs thank you! 😊
I'm using it right now 😁👍
Dominique Designs not all heroes wear capes!!!! Thank you.
Can you please share the recipe? I can’t find it! Thanks 😃
1/2 cup dish detergent
1/2 c baking soda
1 tbsp peroxide
Yes! The step by step approach is great, as well as your upbeat music.
There is a product at Walmart, cheap little thing, that comes with three heads and spins when you turn it on to clean in bathroom or kitchen. It’s long enough so if you’re short or sitting you can reach most places. I have found this to be ergonomically beneficial with my handicaps. Think it’s called hurricane spin scrubber.
Melissa, so glad you added tools for physically challenged people, of which I am. I love your cleaning techniques and products. Thank you so much!
I clean my shower while taking one... The steam breaks up all the soap scum allowing for an easier clean.... Then I wash myself then rinse the walls, then dry them after I am done
I do the same thing. Makes a lot more sense
I thought I was the only one who did this!!
I've done this. I shower and than clean it. All dirt goes down at once.
Love your video. I have the automatic cleaner but will start using the tools you showed. Thanks!!
Agree. More ergonomic and step by step. Thank you for all you do.
I actually clean my shower right after/while taking a shower because the dirt is already presoaked and it comes off very easily with just a little bit of cleaning product. And I ALWAYS squeege my shower door after each use as it makes it look clean for much longer.
What’s the exact ingredients and measurements for the diy tub and tile product you made?
That's my question too. ????
All I gotta say is thank God for my little Bissell steamer. It's made my life so much easier. (I cleaned houses for a living for years)
I sustained a spinal cord injury just over 25 years ago and use a wheelchair, so I LOVE that you added in a tip to help someone like me. But I had to laugh because I just bought the extendable scrubber you linked to earlier this month. It works fantastically!
3 words.....Lysol Tub & Tile. Spray it on and wipe it off. Great for tubs!
Careful with that advice! This product is not recommended on many types of tub materials!
Best way to clean a tub and tiles is to get a swiffer style mop and put a regular cloth on it with your cleaner and you can reach all the way to the top of the tile and wipe around the tub
Ocean Tate There is a knock off one now that I found where you can put your own cleaning solution in and also removable, washable cloths. ✌🏼
You’re techniques are helpful. I can’t wait to try the products you recommended.
I do like the step by step. I would love the ergonomic helpers. I enjoy watching your videos because you make it seem so easy. I've always wanted a professional cleaning looking house and you give me such great inspiration. Thank you
What's the recipe for the cleaning solution. Apparently Dawn, vinegar, H2O2, and baking soda are involved, but in what proportions?
What did I miss? Where's the link for the pre-treatment. I believe she said there'd be a link below?
Did you ever find out the pre-treatment recipe? I didn't see it either.
