Tips for Tuesday: 001 - Bleach

Living in a house built in the 1930s has its pluses and minuses. The plus category includes hardwood floors, nice woodwork, and a porcelain bathtub. The list of negatives is longer and includes windows that don't want to open, small closets, and a porcelain bathtub with 70+ years use. 

I feel like I can never get my bathtub as clean as it could be. The other day an idea for cleaning my tub popped in my head and it worked and required practically no scrubbing! 

For a particularly stubborn area (before and after below), I soaked a paper towel in bleach and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then all I had to do was wipe it up. I also filled the bathtub with water and put about 1/4 of a cup of bleach in it. I also let that sit for 30 minutes. Be sure to turn on the bathroom vent or open a window to clear out the bleach fumes.
