Cleaning Textured Bathtub Floor

RE: Cleaning Textured Bathtub Floor Post By Marlene (Guest Post) (09/17/2007) We had the tub that was originally put into the house 50 years ago and I could NOT get it clean no matter what I tried. Finally I resorted to pouring a jug of bleach in and filling it with hot water and letting it soak for awhile. That helped but what finally did the most good was oven cleaner. I sprayed it on, let it sit and then washed it down. About a month ago, I called someone to remove the tub as we were getting new floor covering and a handicapped toilet. He came in with a sledge hammer and within an hour, it was in his pickup and gone!! A new tub cost $97 at Lowe's. And wow! Does it sparkle! PS - I tried baking soda, magic eraser, Awesome, The Works - nothing helped!

Pour on or spray on, wait a few seconds and it wipes clean instantly with no elbow grease! RE: Cleaning Textured Bathtub Floor Post By niftyjessy. (Guest Post) (09/11/2007) Have you tried baking soda and vinegar? First apply one, vinegar probably best, since you want to thoroughly cover the tub flooring. Sprinkle baking soda and let bubble. Put in a little more if you like. Pour in very hot water, boiling even. Wait a minute or two. Drain tub, scrub, and rinse. You could just scrub with a baking soda and water paste.

If you decide to use this product make sure you rince the tub before use. this product can be found at The Home Depot.
