Week 39: Bathrooms – Deep Clean Shower & Tub
We’ve made it to Week 39 of the 52-Week Cleaning, Decluttering, and Organizing Challenge, and this one is all about turning your shower or bathtub into a sparkling sanctuary. ✨ Nothing makes a bathroom feel fresher than a gleaming tub and shower, so let’s dive in.
This week’s tasks:
-
Deep clean the shower or bathtub.
-
Wipe down shower doors, walls, and faucets until they shine.
-
Clean or replace shower mats (trust me, they need it more often than we think!).
Tips for success:
-
If you have glass shower doors, a mixture of white vinegar and water works wonders on soap scum. Mix 1:1 vinegar and water, spray generously, and let it sit. Add a baking soda paste to trouble spots and scrub away.
-
Don’t forget those sneaky spots like the corners, grout lines, and faucet handles.
-
A fresh or upgraded shower mat not only feels good underfoot but instantly gives your bathroom a cleaner vibe.
💡 Helpful finds for this week:
Here are a few tools and supplies that can make your deep clean faster and easier:
-
Heavy-duty shower scrubber with extendable handle — no more bending and stretching.
-
Eco-friendly bathroom cleaner that actually works on soap scum.
-
Quick-dry, machine washable shower mat to replace that tired one.
