Is this the weirdest way to clean your bath?

Cleaning your bath is awkward, to say the least. From bending over to kneeling on the tiles, comfort is not an option.

That said, there’s one technique you might not have tried yet.

 

Writing an article for Apartment Therapy, Faith Durand shared a tip she learnt from her landlord. A tip we wish we knew sooner.

During an inspection, Faith’s landlord complained about her bath not being clean enough.

“He stepped out into the kitchen, grabbed the new broom from the closet and the Dawn dish soap from the sink and squirted dish soap all over the tub,” she explained.

“Then he seized the broom and to my astonishment, swept it through the soap and up and down, his face turning red and puffing as he went.

"'See... huff and puff... Dawn takes off grease ...even human...' He swept and swept and sure enough, after running the soap down the drain with a quick blast of the shower that tub was clean as a whistle.”

No more bending over backwards to clean your bath.
