I cleaned houses, apts & offices for awhile. It was super challenging. But I got in great shape and learned how to respect chemicals & chemical reactions, which is a life skill that is.priceless. I love your awesome attitude & how make everything sparkle ❤
I tried the vinegar, water, Dawn soap combo in a spray bottle today. It only took me 15 minutes to do what used to take me 3 hours on my hands and knees to do with other cleaners. I have a fiberglass textured tub that was almost impossible to clean the bottom of. I mixed up your vinegar recipe and sprayed it down twice over 10 minutes and then took a 5' long handle stiff plastic bristled brush to it. Rinsed it off and it was spotless! all in 15 minutes. I'm 74 years old. Thank you!
nice. we 3 brothers are quite greasy and also the water here is slightly hard so we need a bottle which is like 1:4-1:3 dawn platinum and the rest vinegar to get rid of the soap scum. not sure if the ph is bad or good for hard water but its working very well
How about apple cider vinegar? I don't have white vinegar and I need to use up the rest of my apple cider vinegar before it goes bad because I had it a long time.
You know you’re officially a boring adult when you spend your Friday night watching cleaning videos, and are legit excited to try out what you’ve learned. 😂
HOTEL HOUSEKEEPER TIP--use kitchen broom for scrubbing and instead of all the stretching to dry at the end turn a table top style portable fan on high [ I use a rotating tower fan at home] to cirulatate a breeze to evaporate leftover water and to blow away the cleaner's smell. BONUS you get a clean broom as well!
I used to feel the same but I also like the extra large rain shower heads. I could use both but then you have all the extra crap hanging. Cure? I clean the bathroom often enough that a plastic tumbler to splash/rinse with is an easy replacement and only takes 2 -3 fills to rinse a full size tub and tiles.
@@carlbeaver7112 - We pays our money and makes our choices. I have a fairly good sized hand held showerhead that delivers plenty of water for me. Got it at Costco. I have done the large tumbler method in the past and I do not like it Sam I Am. 😀
I immediately went to Home Depot and bought that scrubber drill after seeing this video. The ability to use power tools has made me much more motivated to clean stuff now, setting my wife can get behind!
I use a tbsp. of cascade dishwasher soap in a quart of warm water applied with a giant sponge sold for tile install, then rinse well. No scrubbing needed, leaves my acrylic showers and glass doors gleaming.
I love how these videos just get to the point. These videos are packed with really good information. Thank you so much! The video on cleaning the inside of the car windshield was my first video! Excellent advise!
I tried the same drill brush in the video-was too heavy for me and it was hard to control/wanted to go over all over the place. Although it did a great job, my shoulder is paying the price one week later…ouch!
I got so tired of buckets and cups for rinsing so for my cleaning business i found something called a rinse-a-roo for showers and one for tubs.Its for baithing your pets but hey..It works AMAZING and saves a TON of time..They even have the rubber tops for showers with really big shower heads. If you clean 10 to 15 showers a week as i do i hoghly reccomend tjos or something similar. And its a small buisness like mine so i love supporting those..
Bar Keeper's Friend powder was recommended to me by Corelle to remove the silver streaks that had developed over many years of use on my Corelle dishes. I used it and my Corelle dishes look new again.
The Barkeeper’s Friend Soft Cleanser worked wonders for the bottom of our non slip textured bathtub! Nothing else got it clean. Looks like new! Thank you for the video 👍
I have a bottle of vinegar and water mixer. Use it in my shower/tub with baking soda I have in a OXO Parm sprinkler. It’s the only thing that really cuts through the grime without using half a bottle of cleaner. Also the vinegar spray is good for coffee spills on clothing.
Citric acid also works well on showers and any hard water spots. You can buy it in powder form at health food stores or online, and it's much cheaper than vinegar. Mix about a quarter cup of powder to 4 cups warm (not hot) water and stir vigorously. Put into a spray bottle.
That razor scraper is game changer! Added it to my Amazon cart thanks! I also love drill brushes/electric scrubbers too like you mentioned. Got one a couple months ago with an extended handle and it saves my back since I don’t have to bend down anymore lol.
My tub and shower was so stained, I was planning to have it taken out, but I tried Toilet Ring Remover “TRR” and it truly made it look like new without scrubbing. No lie! A miracle!
That cleaner is the bomb!!! I couldn’t get my shower/bathtub clean for months! I would get fed up with scrubbing for hours trying to get the soap scum and calcium off the walls of the tub, just for this cleaner to sit for a few minutes and wipe away like it was never there!! Thanks for this video, my shower is looking brand new now
Wow that bathroom is gleaming. Thanks a lot. I watches you do this a few days ago and am now using the Dawn vinegar mix. Working great, also for windows and mirrors.
Phosphoric acid cleaner for the shower/tub and muriatic acid cleaner for the toilet. Can get both at a janitorial supply company. A former cleaner of mine told me about them. Good stuff.
One tip, white vinegar, hot water, Dawn dish soap. I spray a solution on, walk away, rinse. Spray again, take a magic eraser and scrub, not even hard. My shower looks great. No water spots. Once a week I spray and walk away and rinse and once a month I repeat the spray and scrub. Also helps neutralize those bathroom odors. No dangerous chemicals. Not saying I won’t use soft scrub scrub or bleach when necessary, but for the most part, white vinegar and Dawn dish soap clean quite nicely. I also recommend white vinegar in with your clean water and carpet cleaning so,Union when scrubbing carpets. Nothing helps with odors like it.
I have made the grubbiest stained tubs, even old porcelain tubs look like new just by using Soft Scrub cleaner and a magic eraser. It doesn't take much cleaner or a lot of scrubbing and even the toughest stains come out. Works great on stainless steel sinks too.
The drill brush and Bar Keeper’s Friend on bumpy shower floors tip is AMAZING. I tried it, and after my kids showered, they all thought I bought a new shower somehow! Thank you!
Dude this is my new favorite channel. I’m so happy I found you. Much love to you, and I’m hyped to keep digging through your back catalog while you keep dropping new gems!! ✊😌❤️
When I go to the Dollar Tree, or Family Dollar, or Dollar General, I buy a very small bottle of Dawn dishsoap and use that. I treat the interior of my shower as though it's basically a dish. Squirt on soap... scrub with a medium or soft-bristle brush. The key is to do it often.
I would recommend using a drill with the sponge attachments. Make sure it's a drill that can spin slower so it isn't flinging stuff everywhere. This is mainly for older people or disabled people. In the video he recommended a mixture of Dawn with white distilled vinegar and water.
Citric acid. You can buy it in powder form at hardware stores or online. Mix it with warm water until fully disolved. It cuts through hard water spots and the brown grime at the bottom of the shower like nothing else. I generally don't recommend mixing cleaning products, particulr vinegar or bleach with any type of soap. They may react and some combinations are dangerous. Citric acid is more effective anyway.
My old Navy trick to keep the shower clean, once it is clean, is to wipe it down after every use. I use the same towel I just dried myself with to wipe down the walls, door and floor. Keeps the shower inspection ready.
One of my three bathrooms has a molded plastic shower unit, which I hate. The only thing that works for cleaning it proofs is to wet it down with hot water, then scrub it with Spic and Span on a non-scratch scrubber pad. For lighter cleanings, I make a strong solution of Spic and Span and hot water and spray it on, then rinse. Spic and Span is basically TSP (trisodium phosphate), with color and fragrance, but cheaper, plain, generic TSP will work, too. Discharging phosphates to wastewater damages ecosystems, so I limit my use of it to the bare minimum, like once every five years. It’s also the only thing that works on the textured, no-slip, bottom surface of my porcelain bathtub. Dishwasher detergent also contains phosphates, by the way, so I use only half the recommended amount, it works just as well. After cleaning, rinse like crazy; all truly clean, hard surfaces will feel slippery. I maintain my showers and tub by rinsing them with the hottest water then drying them with a towel after every use, it helps so much to reduce soap scum and prevents mildew. If it’s not quite dry, I put a fan in the shower for a few minutes.
Great video…Thank-you!!!! Knowing good products to buy from someone that has been through a lot of them is really really helpful, as well as a process to use them…Thanks again!!!
Hot tip for showering. Use body wash instead of bar soap to bathe with. Shower is so much easier to clean . Squeegie shower walls and glass doors after every shower and your shower stays cleaner longer.
At our house (just my husband and I), the last one to shower goes over both the glass door and the tile walls with a squeeze, then dries it off with a yellow garage-type towel. Then when we get out, there’s an old hand towel that we rub around on the floor to dry it up. It actually goes pretty quick….it’s a small square shower.
So I have used everything that he has spoken about and it works wonderfully. My grandson had a shower that bless his heart. He had not really cleaned for over five years if you can believe that young boys anyway they were on vacation and we stayed to watch their animals for them and I cleaned and I researched and I use this guy’s tips brand spanking. New looking just beautiful works absolutely wonderful. I do have to say because his buildup in the shower was so heavy. I had to do it a few times, but it’s been over two months now and the shower looks like the day I cleaned it he’s keeping it up wonderfully now, one more thing I would highly recommend if you have natural stone like he said not using the acid, but make sure like every couple of years you scrub that shower really well and then reseal the grout and it’ll keep your shower, looking fresh and clean for a very long time
Hi Brandon, thank you for another great cleaning video! I wonder if you might be able to help me with an on going problem I have? I have a wet room with an anti slip floor. I’m an amputee and use crutches when I use my shower so having this flooring is a must. It’s like a regular vinyl flooring except the vinyl has little bumps all over it. The problem is a mop can’t clean it properly because of these little bumps, so I have to get down on all fours (when I’m not having a painful joints day) and scrub it with a hand held scrubbing brush. I’ve tried using a long handled scrubbing brush but I can’t seem to get enough traction to get rid of the “foot traffic” marks in certain areas, like in front of the toilet and sink areas. Even after scrubbing it with neat bleach, there are still faint dirty marks. At the moment I use a floor cleaner (Astonish Floor Cleaner in Zesty Lemon) with a drop of bleach in the water. What product(s), if any do you recommend for removing stubborn stains from vinyl? As always, I’m forever grateful for all your videos full of helpful hints and tips! 🥰🥰
Muriatic Acid is what “professional cleaners” use to restore porous surfaces such as anything made from composites, carbon-fiber, fiberglass, or plastic. Its ALL plastic surfaces the other 3 have fiberglass added for strength, but all plastic have pores or porous surfaces invisible to our eyes & trap scum, bacteria, dirt which is basically sealed into a product after years of neglect has yellowed the surface. Its not so much as yellowed as it seriously neglected and its turned you tub Literally into a science project.
I use the swiffer mop for high areas, windows, and walls, but I wrap the head with a microfiber towel (instead of the swiffer pads), if it I don't have to scrub hard.
Would like tips on cleaning the shower door tracks which get nasty. My powersteamer is great for blasting out the hard-to-reach gunk. Any tips or suggestions? Also is there any wand or pole to suggest for an older person who just can't manage? I had a sciatica flareup just from reaching across the tub! I want to remain as independent as possible.
great tips!:) thankyou ♡♡ you are helping so many people to learn how to clean well with good results:) wishing you prosperity, happiness and success ♡♡
My best friend chose a rain type shower head. I hate it!!! I prefer the shower heads on coils, to help with rinsing the walls. Plus, the rain shower head is too big to wrap in a vinegar filled bag. And it’s non- removable. And it’s too high for me, even on a stepladder. (I tried once with a garbage bag filled with vinegar. Impossible!)
In "Clean That Up" I trust - doing a long overdue clean - got the kit and loaded up arsenal from another video - now just tackling it one area at a time
I got distracted by that gorgeous faucet and shower head! 😍 I’m actually looking to clean a nasty camper shower, on our recently purchased camper that I’m renovating. I’m convinced a brush is needed! 👍🏼
After my plastic/fiberglass shower is clean I go over it with automotive style spray on wax. This helps make future cleaning much easier, just dont do the floor area.
I have a fiberglass shower with calcium and rust stains and nothing is going to cut it except sandpaper. Scrub all you want and it will not come off. It is as if it is embedded into the fiberglass. Hard a rock.
I have an old porcelain tub. Not really textured at the bottom (maybe it was 50 years ago lol). Can I use the BKF More cleaner, or should I still use the Soft Cleanser?
Could someone clarify what's the benefit of using Bar Keepers Friend MORE vs BKF soft cleanser for the shower? I'll likely only get one, but missed if they are recommended for different things/if one is better.
Now explain how much time is needed to clean up a gunky shower. LOL I've deep cleaned bathrooms that took me over 12 hours to complete, much of that time spent on bathtub & shower areas. It amazes me how dirty home bathrooms can get. No complaints... it creates income and fun new challenges for cleaning contractors like us. 🙂
Can you use regular OG barkeeper's friend (the power kind) if you want the abbression for the first first really intense cleaning or better to stick the spray and paste? I bought a new homw and lwts just saw that bathroom generally and shower specifically needs some major cleaning...alao would a steam cleaner help with intense cleans or not worth it?
What is the best thing to use for hard water stains and soap scum on the shower glass windows? Any of these solutions presented in this video good for that?
What about the stained caulk or grout between the tub and the wall or enclosure? It looks like mold is somehow embedded under the surface or something? That is by far the biggest tub or shower problem for me.
At 3:17 that face when you could have been a wide receiver but chose the janitor life 😂

Number 4 is what I've been looking for. Thank you 100% worked, and now I know how to keep it clean like I want!
A very fine wet n dry sandpaper is also very good - cheaper than magic erasers but effectively the same thing.

@@daffodilrose1950 works better than anything.
The magic eraser can take the shine/coating off the formica-like tub enclosure like that shown in the video.
Never use magic erase on the tub. It is essentially a light duty sand paper. You will remove the non stick base.

When I go to the Dollar Tree, or Family Dollar, or Dollar General, I buy a very small bottle of Dawn dishsoap and use that. I treat the interior of my shower as though it's basically a dish. Squirt on soap... scrub with a medium or soft-bristle brush. The key is to do it often.
I would recommend using a drill with the sponge attachments. Make sure it's a drill that can spin slower so it isn't flinging stuff everywhere. This is mainly for older people or disabled people. In the video he recommended a mixture of Dawn with white distilled vinegar and water.

do you disinfect every-tool/brush you use after each clean/client? if so can you make a video on what you use and how?
To any DYI mix add some dishwasher rinse aid…no streaks!

We got the same name and when you said that it geeked me out for quick second 😆 I was like wait what? Haha
I got distracted by that gorgeous faucet and shower head! 😍
I’m actually looking to clean a nasty camper shower, on our recently purchased camper that I’m renovating.
I’m convinced a brush is needed! 👍🏼
Zep makes a great cleaner like the barkeepers friend
After my plastic/fiberglass shower is clean I go over it with automotive style spray on wax. This helps make future cleaning much easier, just dont do the floor area.
Dude, no. You are bathing on those chemicals and absorbing them through your skin. Car wax isn’t made for the human body.
I use a watering can instead of a cup. works very well.
What about grout? How to clean?
It's working strong ! Thanks :)
You are a legend! Thank you for the tips!!!
Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
I love this type of video - I got so inspired
I have a fiberglass shower with calcium and rust stains and nothing is going to cut it except sandpaper. Scrub all you want and it will not come off. It is as if it is embedded into the fiberglass. Hard a rock.
I have the same problem
I have an old porcelain tub. Not really textured at the bottom (maybe it was 50 years ago lol). Can I use the BKF More cleaner, or should I still use the Soft Cleanser?
a product called soft soap works great also it's in a squeeze bottle.
Could someone clarify what's the benefit of using Bar Keepers Friend MORE vs BKF soft cleanser for the shower? I'll likely only get one, but missed if they are recommended for different things/if one is better.
When do you use BKF More and when do you use BKF soft cleanser?
I've been wondering the same
Now explain how much time is needed to clean up a gunky shower. LOL
I've deep cleaned bathrooms that took me over 12 hours to complete, much of that time spent on bathtub & shower areas. It amazes me how dirty home bathrooms can get.
No complaints... it creates income and fun new challenges for cleaning contractors like us. 🙂
Can you use Bar Keepers More for the shower floor, too, if it's not textured?
Great video. Thank you very much.
Can you use regular OG barkeeper's friend (the power kind) if you want the abbression for the first first really intense cleaning or better to stick the spray and paste?
I bought a new homw and lwts just saw that bathroom generally and shower specifically needs some major cleaning...alao would a steam cleaner help with intense cleans or not worth it?
You're a genius! Life changing ☺ 😎
Very helpful, thank you!
What product do you use to clean Vikrell tubs , particularly textured bases ?
What’s your thoughts on wet it and forget it on stone showers!??
What is the best thing to use for hard water stains and soap scum on the shower glass windows? Any of these solutions presented in this video good for that?
Will using BKF in powder form damage my bathtub if scrubbing with a power drill with soft brush attachment?
How about cleaning my Swanstone shower? Same but different?
What about the stained caulk or grout between the tub and the wall or enclosure? It looks like mold is somehow embedded under the surface or something? That is by far the biggest tub or shower problem for me.
You should add Citric Acid & Oxalic Acid to the homemade mix.
I need something stronger for my marble shower besides Dawn, love the Dawn but it is not enough. Any other recommendations that won’t ruin the marble?
Razor blade was the way to go. Hopefully that's the first and last time I let it get that bad 😅. Appreciate the tip!
What about tile and grout cleaning? I've used soft scrub and a steam wand to try to clean the grout and it still shows hard water stains.
Hard water stain should go off with vinegar
