I spray Clorox clean up or Oxy and let it sit for a few minutes. Then I use a scrub brush and rag to wipe it down.

I use the Dow Scrubbing bubbles foam. I spray it, let it sit, and then wipe is down, I also have an all white bathroom but its the guest bathroom so its not used as much.

I use the Mr. Clean magic eraser on spots, but other than that, I spray it down with Oxi Clean, give it a good scrub with a brush, then rinse.

Re: dumb question- how do you clean your tub and tiles?

For the walls that are tiled, I just spray Clorox and wipe with a paper towel. For the shower walls that are also tiled (white with white like you) I do the same thing, but use a damp sponge or brush, then either air dry or spray with water. I have to say, haven't had a problem. our tub, however, is cast iron and stained. We bought Kaboom and this non abrasive powder called bon amie and scrubbed. OUr tub is WHITE again! Chat Icon

I am obsessed with the Magic Eraser. It is a miracle worker I swear. I will also spray some Tilex on there and Soft Scrub as well.

All of the above suggestions are good but you also need to

Seal the grout ASAP


You can get a small bottle at Home Depot. It's a liquid that you paint on (clear) with a small artists brush. It's tedious and I suggest doing at least 2 coats but then your grout (grout is porous) will be sealed and a lot easier to clean.

Re: dumb question- how do you clean your tub and tiles?

I use a steamer....we got one for Christmas..it works amazing...

I steam the area....and then one wipe with the magic eraser and everything comes off.


eta- we wanted oen specifically for this. I didnt want to breath all the fumes that the heavy cleaners have...and the smell of bleach products makes me sick for some reason
