My husband cleans out the tub and stand up shower, and I love him for it. Frankly, he is better suited for the job due to his height and that is just fine with me. Being a fan of natural products throughout the house, it is no wonder I was drawn to creating a natural scrub for the bathroom.
Vinegar can replace so many different chemicalized cleaning agents that it was a fast go to for me when deciding what to start with. I also added baking soda to the mixture for its whitening properties and ease of breaking up grease and soap scum (in this case).
This cleaner is great for the tub, toilet, sinks (including the kitchen) and you can even use it in the oven!
Vinegar And Baking Soda Scrub
- 1 cup vinegar
- 1/4 cup baking soda
Combine ingredients in a medium sized bowl, dip your brush into the bowl and scrub the entire surface. When you’re finished, spray down with water. Repeat as needed for desired level of cleanliness!
Tip: When you add the baking soda it fizzes intensely for a couple of seconds so use a large bowl.
Grab a good scrub brush and get to it!


We live in a rental and the tub has permanent marks on the bottom and will never be perfect- but look at that shine! Natural ingredients and a clean tub make me one happy (about to take a bubble bath) wife!!
