Struggling with stubborn rust stains in your bathtub? As a seasoned home cleaning expert, I've tested countless natural methods, and this grapefruit-and-salt technique reliably restores shine without harsh chemicals.
Here's the simple, proven DIY solution using just a grapefruit and coarse salt—no store-bought cleaners required. See the results for yourself:
1. Cut a grapefruit in half with a knife. One grapefruit is plenty to tackle your entire bathtub or shower, including faucets, from top to bottom.
2. Generously sprinkle coarse salt over the grapefruit half. Apply extra salt directly to any rust stains for targeted cleaning.
3. Scrub the tub (or shower tray) with the salted grapefruit, squeezing occasionally to release the juicy citric acid that cuts through grime.
4. Periodically lift the grapefruit to scoop up fallen salt. For extra-tough spots, rub directly with the grapefruit rind.
Your bathtub or shower tray will sparkle clean in no time! Best of all, it leaves a fresh grapefruit scent—no need for potentially toxic scented candles.
