Heat up surfaces
Heating tile and the tub just 10 degrees above the normal air temperature "doubles the effectiveness" of alkaline cleansers . Fill the bottom of the tub with a couple inches of the "hottest water you can draw from the tap" and let it sit for a few minutes. Throw hot water over the tiles, shower and tub.
Sit
Disinfectants need contact time in order to work. Let the cleanser sit for five to seven minutes inside the toilet bowl and on surfaces
Scrub
Use a scrub brush or non-scratch abrasive pad to scrub every square inch of the tub and tiles. Housekeeping experts swear by Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, especially for hard-to-remove gray rings inside the tub.
Rinse
This is the most important step. The chemicals in cleansers are designed to attract soil and particles. If you don't rinse after spraying your cleanser, dirt is going to stick to it and build up and "be even more troublesome."
Dry
Use clean, dry cotton cloths or rags to
thoroughly dry all surfaces. Use color-coded
cloths for cleaning — blue for glass and
mirrored surfaces, yellow for the toilet,
and pink for tub and sinks. That way,
you never make the mistake of wiping
off the sink with a cloth that was used
to dry the toilet
