My Dirty, Old, Pitted Tub! Keeping it Clean |
|
|
I have a very old, pitted porcelain bath tub that I can't afford to refinish or replace. It collects a lot dirt in the pits and I cannot get it clean. it no longer shines at all! It isn't stained, just has hard to remove dirt. I have done the bleach thing, Comet, various cleaners, even some from the janitorial supply house, throughout the years but nothing seems to work (scrubbing bubbles is the best) I have tendonitis in my arm and cannot scrub for long periods of time. If I do get it clean is there an economical finish or wax that I can use on it so it stays cleaner longer? Thank You!!!

A miracle was preformed at my daughters home with Mr Clean Magic Eraser. It was truly MAGIC. She rents and the tub in the house she is in now was just the worst and no amount of scrubbing with comet and a stiff brush would even begin to move the gunk. I read on here about Mr Clean Eraser and got one and even my 6 year old granddaughter was amazed. I hated putting her in that nasty looking tub when I was there and thank you Mr Clean Eraser. I don't have to now.

I've been suffering the same problem since I moved into my 1948 bungalow and just tried the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I think I'll buy stock in that company because my tub never looked so great!
Thanks!

I'm so glad to find your website. We live in a 1960 year old house. I don't think the lady who lived here before could get to cleaning the tub. So GREAT to find something that just may fix the problem. Thanks

I can absolutely confirm the Mr. Clean Eraser. We bought our 1942 home a year ago and have dreaded refinishing the bathtub, it had 63 years of gunk and grime built up on it. We tried commercial cleaners, bleach, Oxi-clean, and many others, we even tried Oven Cleaner. All of them required heavy duty gloves and stank up the whole house and did little or no good. I tried a Mr. Clean eraser and couldn't believe my eyes. With two swipes of that magical wedge of foam all 63 years of gunk vanished. I was half done in ten minutes. The next day we bought a few more and have a brand new tub to thank for it.

There is something new out by Clorox called Bathroom Cleaner withTeflon in a spray bottle. It repels dirt with invisible Teflon to keep dirt from sticking. It also cleans soap scum and leaves surface shiny and has a clean scent. You just spray surface to coat evenly and allow to set awhile to penetrate the dirt. Then wipe with a wet sponge and rinse with water. Use regularly to maintain the Teflon surface protection. There also is a toilet bowl cleaner with the Teflon too.

Hello, I had the same problem & talked to Home Depot & they recommended a "tub & tile" or swimming pool paint. You can't use water for 3 days--it's worth it-my tub looks new & it even shines!~ Datura
