Tap water contains a chemical called alkaline, which leaves spots on shower walls and glass doors. As any housekeeper knows, this isn’t good for your bathroom. Put some car wax on a sponge and use it to scrub where the grime tend to build up. Glass is a porous material and the wax is used to seal these pores so the alkaline doesn’t get into them.

My two cents: When storing materials, packing such buffers as silica gel with the goods before sealing the container will help keep excess moisture at bay.
For basements, sprinkle chlorinated lime (commonly called chloride of lime or bleaching powder) over the floor. Let it sit until musty mildew odors disappear. Then sweep it up. Increasing the heat and air circulation into the basement will help this process. Get rid of mildew on tiled walls and bathrooms floors by scrubbing them with a diluted solution of sodium hypochlorite or chlorine bleach, 1 cup of bleach to a gallon of water. Rinse with clean water and wipe as dry as possible. Keep the windows and shower curtain open until the walls and floors are thoroughly dry.

hello
How do you clean the bathtub? First, assemble the right tools - liquid detergent, spray bottle, protective gloves, mild abrasive cleansing product, and a scrubber (brush or sponge). Pick up and put away all your bottles of shampoo and conditioner, soap, etc. Your work will be easier and faster if these things are out of the way - It looks better, too.
