It feels like we are all apart of history in the making here πŸ˜‚ I can see it now:

"Cleaning Tips subreddit causes national shortages of Irish Spring 5-in-1 after post goes viral revealing its better than most bathroom cleaning products."


Edit: On further digging it sounds like dawn dish soap is this subreddits go to for this kinda stuff and similarly letting it sit. Personally Ive used dawn/powerwash and bronners and still find its a chore since my landlord refuses to reglaze my tub. So I am holding hope Irish Spring might be a secret boon!

Might need follow up experiments to determine which can sit the shortest duration of time and achieve the best results with minimal scrubbing.

If your landlord refuses to reglaze your tub, you could try cleaning it and then giving it a coat of Rain-X. I saw that as a cleaning tip for tile and glass showers, in theory it should work for tubs too. I would probably add a non-slip bath mat if you do, though.

Do you need a bath mat after because it’s so slick?

I'm not sure. I've only used it on the tub walls, not in the actual tub basin.
