I have a textured bottom tub. Cleaning it was no use. It was still dingy. Until I cleaned up some spilled shampoo and there was a gleaming white spot! I use Pert but any should do. Squirt some in the tub and wet a stiff brush and scrub lightly. It spreads and gets the crannies. Let it sit for a while. Rinse. It also leaves a pleasant smelling bathroom.

I make natural skin & bodycare products for a living and am also working on a line of more natural cleaning products for home care. The following recipe is a concoction I came up with that works beautifully in a textured bath tub - we have 2 tubs in our home and the one utilized by our two teenagers is in constant need of TLC
RECIPE: 2 cups baking soda
2 cups liquid soap (I use my own handmade hand soap)
2 TBS white vinegar
4 tsp Tea tree essential oil
2 tsp peppermint essential oil
Mix all ingredients till smooth, pour into an empty clean plastic jar eg; peanut butter, mayo or similar. Use as you would 'Soft Scrub' and with a sorubber brush or scourer except no harsh fumes won't hurt your skin and will leave your entire bathroom smelling minty fresh. PLEASE NOTE: You may have to give the mix a shake before each use and PS also great for sinks, tile, toilet bowls, kithen sinks,
black marks on linoleum and tile floors. Phew! that was rather long-winded but I hope helpful.

I also use inexpensive shampoo as bubble bath. I works well and helps not leave a ring in the tub, due to body oils. Shampoo is designed to break up and remove the oils in your hair so it works great in the tub.

I use the magic erasers and they work so good

I use cheap shampoo that I get on sale OR hotel samples(the cheaper, the better!) to clean the bottom of tubs and showers. A squirt of shampoo and a bit of water with a brush does the job...let the suds stand for a while before rinsing. Just be sure to rinse well so the surface won't be slippery when someone steps in.
