This post about how to clean a bathtub was sponsored by Mr. Clean thanks to iConnect. All opinions and love of cleanliness are my own.
When we moved into our apartment the bathtub was a not very clean bathtub, and proved difficult to get sparkling. I am gonna assume one of the previous tenants had a bathmat they used, which had lots of little circle disks underneath it, which has damaged the tub and left light little circles that prove hard to get pearly white again.
The joys of apartment living.
My husband has used various products, as have I, hoping we’ll get a sparkling clean bathtub yet.
My latest product to wage war against the grime bathtub was a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
I have used Magic Erasers around my home, mainly for removing crayon, pen, pencil, and dirt marks from my walls, door frames, and doors. I honestly haven’t used them for much else around my house.
Until now.

I hate cleaning the bathrooms, especially the bathtub. I hate how you need to practically get into it, or learn over it to clean it, which hurts my back. And then there is the rinsing with the shower head and/or cup, which sprays water all over myself and my otherwise cleaned bathroom.
No thank you!
How to Clean a Bathtub with Magic Erasers
But, now I have found my solution – Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. To use, simply wet, wring, and clean.
The little nubby part on the Extra Power ones really help you scrub away dirt. Those dirty little circles from Previous Tenant are the brightest and whitest we’ve ever seen them!
And you know those dirty little marks you often get on the edges of your tub? Came off with a few easy wipes.
The only thing I still couldn’t seem to remove 100% were the hard water/scum build-up at the front of the tub. But, they still became less noticeable.
P.S. I am sorry that my pictures don’t do it justice. Have you ever tried taking photos in a bathroom? The lighting is terrible, and our tub and tile are all white which is very hard to photograph. No, it’s not 100% white, but it is the most beautiful tub we’ve ever had! And it was so easy to clean.
I didn’t have to rinse the tub, and it even works on the tile and grout around the tub too. I am totally sold. Since it’s not a harsh chemical, my kids can use them to clean their bathrooms/tub (it’s one of their weekly chores). I also used it on my shower rod, which was in a desperate need of wiping:

My least favorite thing to clean is the bathtub! I have an old iron tub that has been re-enameled and part of that has peeled off. Hoping this Magic Eraser trick works well. I have tried so many different things!

My bathtub is my least favorite. I have 6those stains in the bottom my tub like yours, so I would love to see if they would work.

The bathroom is my least favorite to clean.
Least favourite thing to clean . . . Can I just say my house? LOL. I joke (but it’s not entirely a joke) that I want my own little house, just for me, so when the kid-mess in this house gets too much I can just escape to my own clean and organised space. Because of course none of this mess is actually mine! 🙂
I hate cleaning the kitchen floor.
My least favorite thing to clean is the toilet
Sorry if this is a repeat. I don’t know where my comment went! I hate cleaning the bathrooms and the floors. They are both just so tedious!
I really do not like cleaning at all but know it is just something that has to be done! I think if I had to choose one thing that is the worst, the bathroom! Esp in a household of three males.
I really detest cleaning the underneath of my range hood. Even with regular cleaning it gets so gross.
My least favorite thing to do is clean the toilet and Windows!

Toliets are the worst.
I highly dislike cleaning the bathtub!
My least favorite to clean is the kitchen – that’s my partners job! It just gets too messy too fast
Easy Off oven cleaner is the only thing that finally cleaned my shower pan after years of trying different things. I have found Tilex to work wonders on the bathroom grout – just spray and walk away – then rinse. Make sure to purchase the regular Tilex and not the Daily Shower spray.
I can’t stand cleaning the shower . . .
I hate dusting the baseboards.
What?? I am so going to try this. I have Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and NEVER thought of using them on the tub! My tub looks like yours in the picture!
I hate cleaning the toilets because the men in the house dont know how to pee in the toilet correctly lol
I really dislike cleaning the bathroom. It seems to always be the one room that needs the most work.
The one thing that is NOT my favorite to clean is my garden tub & mirrors in the back. I’m short 5’1 1/2, and trying to get to the back is brutal on my back. It’s something that has to be done, so I got to do it. I need a extender so I don’t have to lean so much and scrub scrub scrub😊
I hate the bathroom the most.

Never use Easy Off in the tub. I did after seeing the suggestion online.. It ruined the surface..
