How to clean the bathroom from plaque

How to get rid of rust on the bathtub
Rust usually appears where the faucet leaks. As water flows down, it makes brown streaks on the enamel. Fix the faucet first, then start cleaning.
Mix 100 g of baking soda and 50 g of water, and rub the bathtub and the rusted areas with this mixture. After 15 minutes, lubricate the walls with a sponge dipped in vinegar. The foam that forms will clean all traces of rust and plaque. The bathroom will shine with whiteness again!
