Whether you shower in it or use it for long, luxurious baths, there’s nothing clean—or relaxing—about a tub full of grime, mold, or mildew.
Ventilate the room by turning on any fans and opening any doors or windows.
Put on rubber gloves.
Remove any hair from the drain.
If your tub is porcelain or coated with enamel, apply a mildly abrasive bathtub or all-purpose cleaner to the tub and let it sit for a period of time, according to product directions. Scrub the tub with your brush, then rinse well.
For a natural cleaning product, mix a teaspoon of liquid soap, a few drops of an antibacterial essential oil (such as eucalyptus, rosemary, tea tree, or peppermint), a cup of baking soda, and enough water to make a paste.
If your tub is fiberglass or acrylic, use a sponge to apply a nonabrasive cleaning product or one designed for fiberglass. Scrub gently, being careful not to scratch the tub, then rinse well.
If you damage the caulking along the tub while you are scrubbing, repair it as soon as you’re done cleaning — and before using the tub — to prevent water damage.
Use your cleaning product and an old toothbrush to remove any hard-to-reach grime.
For stubborn stains or rings on porcelain or enamel tubs, try scrubbing with baking soda on a damp sponge or a mildly abrasive cleaner.
Using a sponge or rag, clean the fixtures with an all-purpose cleaner.
Rinse off all remaining cleaner and dry the whole tub with a clean cloth. Now, after all that work, you can indulge yourself with a nice, hot bath.
At over 300 pounds, U.S. President William Howard Taft required his own oversized tub installed in the White House.

Taft's bathtub was almost the size of a small swimming pool.
