How To Take Bathing Oil Out Of A Bathtub

Bathing oils nourish the skin and often contain aromatherapy scents, providing you with a relaxing bath experience. The problem is when you drain the tub, you often are left with an oily residue. This residue sits on the tub surface, and can create a slippery bathtub that could lead to a slip or fall if not properly cleaned. Luckily there are a few inexpensive ingredients that will remove the bathing oils from your tub.

Step 1

Sprinkle a light coating of baking soda over the entire tub surface. The baking soda provides you with a slightly abrasive texture plus absorbs the oil.

Step 2

Fill a spray bottle with about 3 cups water, 1 cup white vinegar and 1 tbsp. dish soap. The vinegar cuts through the oily residue as does the dish soap.

Step 3

Spray the mixture over the tub, and scrub the cleaner and baking soda into the tub surface with a wet nylon scouring pad. Continue until you remove all of the oil residue.

Step 4

Rinse the bathtub and dry with a clean rag. Feel the tub, and repeat if any oily residue remains on the tub surface.
