As a result, dirt, rust and limescale appear on the walls of the bathtub. How to cope with this problem and the better to clean the bathroom?
The methods for cleaning the bath depend on the material from which it is made. In the houses of Soviet citizens there were mostly cast-iron bathtubs, unpretentious in maintenance and amenable to cleaning with the usual abrasive products that existed at that time.

Stainless steel plumbing can be treated with solutions that do not have acids - Pemolux, Sanita, Pemoxol, etc. If none of these products are available, ordinary soap, detergent, or detergent will do. utensils.
For some time now acrylic bathtubs have become very popular. This material does not cool down over time, withstands bumps and falls of heavy objects, but is easily scratched. Therefore, pastes and powders with abrasive particles cannot be used for its processing. It is better to purchase a liquid detergent Sarma, Cillit, Acryl-Net, etc. For the lack of the above drugs, ordinary detergent is suitable.
Care for the quartz baths is the same as for the acrylic ones.
Equally popular are home bath cleaners, the recipes of which have been passed down from generation to generation. However, before testing it on a new generation bath, it is worthwhile to conduct a small test in the farthest corner, hidden from view.

To enhance the effect, it is recommended to heat it, add citric acid, salt and apply to the surface. After a while, rinse with water.
Soda can perfectly replace the habitual housewives of Comet and Pemolux. Mustard powder has the same effect, which eliminates pollution and disinfects the surface. Powder bleach mixed with water to the consistency of sour cream will help to make the bathtub snow-white. It is necessary to wipe the bath with it and let it dry, and then rinse with water. Rusty old spots lend themselves well to a mixture of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide in a 2: 1 ratio. The same problem can be solved with a solvent for oil paints and turpentine. After mixing them in equal parts, gently wipe the contaminated places, and then wash the bath with ordinary washing powder and water.
