butt--we have like 7 different scrubs, and i need help.

How do i clean this bathtub!?

Answer 1

Relax. At least you were cleaning the dog.  Just scrub it with dish soap and old rags or scrub brushes. Don't let the hair go down the drain.

Answer 2

Do you have any bleach?

If youve already tried soap and water, mix some bleach and water together.

Make the ratio 90% water, and 10% bleach.

Scub a little, and leave it set.

Not too long.

Oh yea, and wear some old clothes.

Bleach tends to ruin good clothes.

Obviously.

Answer 3

You're going to get in trouble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Answer 4

do you have any cleaning solutions? You can use almost any soap to clean the tub to get it better than it is..

If out of regular bath cleaners like comet..check around the house, do you have dish detergent? do you have laundry detergent? do you have shampoo? do you have baking soda? all of these will work pretty well if you dont have the traditional supplies..just use very little of the liquid soaps or you'll be spending all you time rinsing the tub..good luck

Answer 5

damp cloth and baking soda

Answer 6

Water alone won't do the trick, you need some sort of cleanser to bond with the molecules in the water and break down the dirt.  If it is a fiberglass tub don't use scouring powder like ajax or comet, they will scratch the surface. Read the label on the stuff you have, look for something like "safe on fiberglass" or "will not scratch".

If you have a porcelain tub you're in the clear, scrub to you little hearts content.

In either case I recommend you fill the tub with HOT water with a little bit of bleach added. pour in some shampoo ( it does a good job of breaking down the oils and grease that came off the dog's fur.)

Let soak for about 1/2 hour, use a clean toilet brush or even a broom to scrub the bottom the the tub and there ya go.

that should do the trick. A little bit of work but it beats the alternative.
