Homemade Soap Scum Remover
The worst area in the entire house to clean is the bathroom. Are you with me? I hate scrubbing toilets, washing down the shower or tub, and disinfecting the entire room. It’s inevitable, and the job has to get done, so to help make the bathroom clean-up project easier, I keep a spray bottle of homemade soap scum remover in the shower and then spray down the walls before I hop out, then come back to wipe down the walls later.聽It helps cut down the grime and keep the worst task more manageable.
Homemade Soap Scum Remover
You’ll Need:
- 1 cup Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Corn starch
- 2 tablespoons Dawn, original formula (blue)
- Empty reusable spray bottle
Directions:
Stir the cornstarch into your vinegar in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 2 minutes. Remove and stir. This should look like a gel.
Add your Dawn directly into the reusable spray bottle. Then, add your cornstarch/vinegar gel, and gently shake.
Spray your homemade soap scum remover directly onto the tub or shower walls. Allow to sit for 10-15 minutes, then wipe down with hot water.
Making your own homemade soap scum remover will save you a ton of money, too! This whole solution can be made for pennies, and will just take a few minutes to whip together.
Hooray for a cleaner shower, in no time!
Thank you for the great tip! I was wondering if you can use this over time or do you have to use it as soon as you get it out of the microwave? What I mean is can you let it sit for a week or so and use it over and over?
I love homemade cleaners too! They are much easier on the lungs and work great!
I’ve wondered if there was an inexpensive way to remove that soap scum! Thanks for the tip!
Iam definitely going to try this on the weekend. I much prefer knowing exactly what is in my cleaners.
This sounds like a great cleaner! I like to use chemical free cleaners so a homemade formula is always better to me. I’ll be sure to mix some of this up and try it.
I’m guessing the corn starch is to thicken it up a little bit. Wonder if it wouldn’t clog the spritzer over time.
Holy cow do I need this! I hate using harsh chemicals but haven’t found anything that really works on my shower. It can get so gross.
Keeping the shower glass spot free is definitely one of the worst chores around. I can not wait to try this homemade cleanser, especially since it does the work without the chemicals.
I love making my own cleaners because it not only saves me money but it also lets me know exactly what ingredients I am using around my house. Can’t wait to make a bottle of your soap scum remover.
Hi, Janel, thank you for the idea. I’m gonna try it and this soap scum remover sounds to be very effective. Actually I like to clean, it’s a kind of meditation for me, haha ))) But I don’t like to remove this scum either for it is not cleaned off without a trace and takes too much time and efforts, and I like when my bathroom shines – it is so much intimate place 馃槈
