Homemade Soap Scum Remover

Hey (waves), “it’s me Ashley with I hate to clean the house Anonymous. ” I wanted to share with you a pretty easy cleaning tip!

What is the one task you will always put off? For me, it is cleaning. I don’t mind the weekly grind of laundry or even the daily task of the dishes and loading/unloading the dishwasher, but when it comes to deep cleaning in the bathrooms, I really hate it! Because of this, I wanted to find a cleaner that was easy to prepare but did the job! I mean, really did the job!

This soap scum remover is pretty incredible. It uses white vinegar and Dawn (have I mentioned, these are two of my staple cleaning supplies!) I absolutely love Dawn Dish Soap. It is such a great de-greaser.  I also love vinegar (it is one of my secret ingredients in laundry – see our Laundry Room Hacks and Tips!) With equal parts of both, you get a pretty incredible shower cleaner. You can see our pretty incredible before and after photos of a shower filled with soap scum and the results of our labor.

And if you want to make this task even easier, might I suggest some good music or a good podcast while you are scrubbing (or doing any household work)? If you need some suggestion on Podcasts, I love Focus on the Family Marriage Podcast and Jen Hatmaker Podcast. The marriage podcast as been great (and clearly affordable – it’s free) for my husband and I! Cheaper than counseling – haha! I also appreciate some good music. It really works to lighten my mood. I am most grateful for my Amazon Prime Membership, did you know it comes with music?

Enjoy (and happy listening!)
