Hydrogen peroxide works. Keep those bleach products away from your old tubs! Use a non-bleach cleaner. Clorox 2 for example will still get your tub spotless without the harmful effects of "real" bleach.

Girlfriend, just did the same thing. After searching the net for a few minutes they listed a bunch of chemicals like CLR, or Hydrogen Peroxide or CLR. Being 3am I couldn't go out and get these things. But I did have some Oxyclean Laundry Detergent. Put that on a sponge and scrubbed till it came up. Worked like a charm.

RE: Cleaning Bleach Stained On An Old Claw Tub
Oh my gosh, this is amazing. I bet I spent $35.00 on cleaning products tonight, trying to get a brown stain out of my tub. I cleaned something with a clorox based spray cleaner in my tub earlier today. Several hours later I went in to remove the item from the tub. To my horror, the overspray had caused brown stains to form. I grabbed the bleach, added water, and soaked. A half hour later I drained the tub to find brown stains from end to end. I WAS HORRIFIED. I tried lime away, soft scrub, cascade (liquid, for the dishwasher) comet, mr clean sponges, and ten different scrubbing pads. Everything just made it worse. I read this post.
I grabbed the hydrogen peroxide, poured it on, and watched the stains disappear like magic right before my eyes. No scrubbing, no nothing. It only took a few seconds. It only took a few seconds for me to throw away all those nasty chemicals too. Thank you so much!

RE: Cleaning Bleach Stained On An Old Claw Tub
Thank you soooo much for this remedy. My partner and I are living in a rental property with a "lamipanel" shower recess. I sprayed it with "exit mould" and left it for 2 minutes. When I returned to clean it, it had a large number of brown stains. I was devastated! I tried everything I could think of and even tried vinegar as suggested by a friend. Nothing worked. Then I found this remedy. I scrubbed and worked at it for at least half an hour until my partner told me to have a drink and watch a movie to unwind. All my hard work seemed wasted. Then... he called me into the bathroom to see the results. The stains had vanished!!! To all of you out there trying this remedy, don't give up. It may take a little time to work it's magic!!! Again... Thank you all.

I am living in a rental property with a lamipanel shower. I tried cleaning the shower with "exit mold" (bleach), who was to know that I'd get brown stains! Thank you so much for your remedy. I tried it and at first was disheartened as it didn't appear to be working.
My partner suggest a couple of drinks and a movie to try and unwind after all of the hard (and apparently useless) work scrubbing the darn shower. After the movie he called me into the bathroom to see the shower. It was white again! To any of you trying this remedy, you may need to leave it a while and not scrub so hard. It really does work!

RE: Cleaning Bleach Stained On An Old Claw Tub
I made the HUGE mistake of putting bleach in my 100 year old claw foot tub in hopes of cleaning it, I ended up with browns stains wherever the bleach made contact. In panic I tried everything, nothing helped except for the Hydrogen Peroxide and baking soda. Removed the brown stains and saved the tub for another 100 years.

THANK YOU! I thought my tub was ruined from my efforts to clean my tub with bleach and comet, until I came across the information shared here! What a relief! The tub looks like new again!

RE: Cleaning Bleach Stained On An Old Claw Tub
I had poured bleach down my drain and let it soak overnight. In the morning, when I went to rinse it with warm water, the bottom of my tub was stained brown. I tried a comet paste, the Lime-Away for calcium/lime/rust deposits, and nothing worked until I read the post. Then I hesitantly put straight Hydrogen Peroxide on it, and it disappeared in front of my eyes! THANK YOU! It saved my porcelain tub! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! H2O2 WORKED!

Thanks so much to Linda C and the suggestion of the Clorox 2! Worked like a charm! The yellow stains in my old tub came out like magic! NO SCRUBBING! Awesome! :)

RE: Cleaning Bleach Stained On An Old Claw Tub
Just wanted to add to this. If you're in the UK & Ireland Cif Oxy-gel spray will do the trick. I'm an American working in Ireland and I caused the most awful red stain in my tub from bleach. I read this and thought "Oh hydrogen peroxide" that will be easy to get because obviously Clorox 2 isn't sold here.. apparently hydrogen peroxide isn't either.
I tried tons of things, lemons & baking soda, flash rust remover and Cif Oxy-Gel was the only thing that worked. It's marked as having Oxygen based bleaching agents in it so it sounds like its similar to Clorox 2

Clorox 2 was the answer for me! I made the same mistake of using bleach on an old porcelain tub and Clorox 2 liquid worked like a miracle! I didn't even have to scrub - just poured the Clorox 2 all over the tub, spread it around and let it sit for a little while and it removed all the brown stains like magic!

I stained my whole tub by letting bleach sit in it all day. The baking soda and peroxide paste removed the stain immediately.

RE: Cleaning Bleach Stained On An Old Claw Tub
just did this exact thing and can now tell you - don't panic! hydrogen peroxide absolutely works for this problem. (if needed you can make paste by mixing small amount with baking soda or cream of tartar.) otherwise, i know that denture tablets will remove all stains from the inside of any porcelain teapot - so maybe worth a try?

For the bleach stain on the old porcelain tub, I would try using either "Barkeeper's Friend" or Zud, both are recommended by the porcelain enamel industry for cleaning everything from porcelain sinks to school chalkboards and whiteboards. Works on copper bottom pots too.

RE: Cleaning Bleach Stained On An Old Claw Tub
I remember doing something similar and I think rust remover (that came in a bottle) did the trick. I believe any brand might work. I would avoid any type of clorox at this point.
You may want to try the rust remover as I remember it worked for me.
Good Luck

I used comet liquid spray bathroom cleaner on my claw tub. You let it sit. I am not sure about the bleach stains, but try the comet.
