Step 1: Remove the Baby

Safely remove your baby from the bathtub and place them in a clean, dry area.

Step 2: Scoop up The Poop

Put on rubber gloves to protect your hands from germs, and use a toilet brush to scoop up as much of the poop as possible. Be careful not to splash water or spread contamination while scooping out the poop. Flush the waste down the toilet and proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Drain the Water

Remove the plug to allow the bathwater to drain out of the bathtub. If it’s slow, try to clear the clog using a plunger or drain snake. Sometimes, the waste may be stuck in the drain pipe and need to be dislodged. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog caused by pipe damage, you’ll need to call a professional plumbing repair service for expert drain cleaning.

Step 4: Apply an Eco-Friendly and Non-Toxic Cleaner

Spray the affected area with an all-purpose cleaner. Hold the spray bottle about 6-12 inches away from the tub surface and spray an even layer of cleaner across the entire tub. Make sure to cover the sides, bottom, and corners of the tub.

Step 5: Scrub the Bathtub

Use the toilet brush to scrub the area thoroughly, paying attention to any stubborn stains. Avoid excessive force, as scrubbing too hard can cause scratches or wear down the finish, especially on delicate materials. Use gentle, circular motions to remove dirt and stains without damaging the surface.

Step 6: Rinse the Bathtub

Rinse the bathtub with warm water to remove the cleaner and any remaining residue. Make sure to thoroughly rinse all corners and surfaces to prevent any buildup that could cause streaks or attract dirt.

Step 7: Sanitize the Bathtub

To ensure the bathtub is free of germs, sanitize it with a bleach-based cleaner. Follow the instructions on the product label. Disinfecting the bathtub will help minimize the risk of contamination and ensure proper hygiene while cleaning up.
