Bathtub Crud Buildup

RE: Bathtub Crud Buildup Post by phishphan98 (54) | (04/29/2005) Contact I used the Mr. Clean Eraser on some of the spots in my tub. The previous owner took the decals up and there were brown spots where they were. They are not completely gone but they have lightened.

Don't use abrasive cleaners on 'plastic' baths or you will damage/dull the surface.

If anyone takes a bath make you you rinse the tub well too.

When this has settled down I use pieces of polar fleece to clean, so I just wipe down with this and warm water. It may take a little bit of elbow grease at first, but much better than inhaling chemicals in a confined space. I use this method for cleaning everything - success so far. RE: Bathtub Crud Buildup Post By Adele (Guest Post) (04/11/2005) I wash my bathroom and tub every week but I find even with my weekly cleaning the dirt and soap scum builds up in my tub so once a month I get down and dirty and with a single edge razer I scrap all the soap from the sides and from the bottom of the tub. Then I spray with the new TILEX Mildrew root penetrator and scrub and when I am done my tub looks great and ready for my weekly cleaning until the following month. Try it I"m sure you can save your tub "good luck" RE: Bathtub Crud Buildup Post By julia (Guest Post) (04/10/2005) I don't know if this will help, but I used to have those non-slip stickers on bottom of tub and I filled tub with about a half-inch of HOT water and added ammonia and let it soak overnight, then used a cleaner called greased lightning after I drained the tub and used a 'scratchy' pad (the green pads on a sponge). Hope this helps you.
