So, my boyfriend got caulk residue all over our tub, and I'm at a loss on how to clean it up. It's dried up now, and I need some effective methods or tools to tackle this mess. Any advice would be appreciated!

You definitely want to be careful! A powered caulk gun and some painter's tape can help avoid this mess in the future. It's all about prep work! If your boyfriend is rushing through projects, maybe he needs some reminders on how to do it right next time!
A sponge with soap and water might help if it's still wet, but since it's dried, your best bet is to scrape it off. What kind of material is your tub? That could affect which method works best!
It's like a white plastic or fiberglass, I think.
If the caulk is dry, you can try using a scraper tool or a razor blade. Just be careful not to damage the tub's surface! After scraping, you might want to use something like Goo Gone to finish up the cleaning. It should help lift any leftover residue!
Is a regular scraping tool enough, or do I need something specific for the tub?
Just a regular scraping tool should do fine, just be gentle with the surface!
Honestly, I usually handle the home improvements. I thought he could manage a simple task like this, but it turns out I underestimated him!
