Literally, just put salt on a grapefruit, and you have the best tub cleaner in the world. You don’t even need a sponge; just scrub with the grapefruit. As an added bonus, grapefruit and salt won’t just scrub away soap scum — it will actually help kill nasty germs.

Grapefruit is a natural antimicrobial substance. And, of course, our new favorite product, salt, kills bacteria by essentially sucking water out of them. Neat, right? (Regardless, it’s still a good idea to bust out the big guns and do a deep cleaning with traditional bathroom cleaners.)
