Heres the bad news.
But don’t worry, this is normal.
Bath products are another part of the problem.
You Arent Cleaning Enough
Another culprit could be that you simply arentcleaning your showerand tub often enough.
Landry tells me a weekly clean is what most of us need.
But, at the very least, you should give your shower and tub a rinse after every use.
“This will stop soap film from sitting on surfaces and avoid the creation of soap scum build-up.”
You Arent Using The Right Tools
Its hard to get any job done without the right tools.
That tiny sponge you’ve been using probably isn’t going to cut it in a truly dirty bathroom.
Landry is a fan of Norwex’s Bathroom Scrub Mitt.
you could also use this to augment your daily rinse or after that long bubble bath.
Norwexs non-scratch, two-sided scrub cloth is another option as well as the Grout Brush.
These have been hot on TikTok for a good reasontheyre easy to use and they work.
A standard multipurpose cleaning spray isnt always gonna cut it for these spaces.
So, check to see if the bottle says bathroom or tile and tub.
If mold and mildew are an issue, its best to use a product specifically formulated for these spots.
If that’s the case, old-fashioned bleach will get the job done for a good price.
