When I was first transforming into a clean person, I assigned value to the cleanliness of each part of my home based upon the frequency it would be viewed by others. The living room and the kitchen were most important. Next was the toilet, then came my bedroom, and lastly the shower/bathtub. I rarely cleaned the bathtub because unless my guests were staying over, they would almost never see it. It is kind of embarrassing, but I still clean according to this philosophy. And if someone is coming to stay, I usually do a once-over on the whole apartment. Unfortunately, letting the tub go a few months before cleaning it can lead to some pretty intense filth. But I have found an easy, cheap, and earth-friendly way to clean the tub. I have described my technique in my article How to Clean a Tub.
