Shifting Thick Soap Scum​ - December 2017

​Cleaning the caked on soap off the soap dish in my shower was the bane of my existence. It sets like rock and nothing would shift it. In desperation I tried plain white vinegar (Homebrand of course, $1.19 for 2L at Woolworths) with amazing results. Best of all, no fumes, no scrubbing and no effort...now that's how I like to clean!

For best results, scrape off all the large pieces of soap first (I just used my thumb) then wrap a cloth (microfibre or Homebrand Chux) soaked in vinegar around the soap dish, making sure to 'stick' it to all surfaces. Leave for an hour then wipe dish with the cloth. If you need to scrub, flip the cloth over apply more vinegar and repeat the process. The vinegar will dissolve the soap and it just wipes off effortlessly. Hooray!!
