I have a textured bathtub floor that I can not get clean. My mom has the same type of bathtub, and between the two of us, we can't find anything that will clean deep down in the grooves of the textured surface.

the magic eraser works great on semi rough surfaces, it works great on the fridge and stove

i used to work for an apartment complex, and the maintenance workers would use boric acid to clean the tubs. If you decide to use this product make sure you rince the tub before use.
I have had this problem at several of my jobs (I clean private residences) the only thing I found that actually works is kaboom
(The purple container) win the tub is dry spray, let it sit for 2 or 3 minutes, don't let it dry and then take a plastic bristle broom and scrub, you will be amazed how clean that will get the tub.

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.
It didn't work at all baking soda & vinegar nope
The Works is great for bathrooms. Pour on or spray on, wait a few seconds and it wipes clean instantly with no elbow grease!
The old Pink Tub and Tile WORKED. The works does not work with this problem. :( So sad they discontinued that product.
Use Mr. Clean erasers, I ahve the same type of tub, and that's all I use. I don't even have to use a cleaning solution!
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.
I have a textured floor in my tub also, and the first thing I thought of, is an eraser pad! The textured tub floors, tear these to shreds. It does NOT work. Sure it works great on any smooth surface that has grime, but not on a textured tub floor!
Thank you everyone! We are going try some of your methods.

Try easy off oven cleaner in the blue can. Seems to work best for me!
Ok, so I toyed with this but the fumes are terrible and will cause eye and breathing ( throat) discomforting effects.but yes, it does get it clean with some scrubbing after 5 min.
Doesnt work.
I tried this tonight and boom, beautiful white tub! First spray oven cleaner, let set 15 minutes then wet tub. I used the shower head for just a minute to moisten. Then use Mr Clean sponge to scrub and, boom, it's clean!
I could literally kiss you for this comment! I have been struggling with a bathtub that would look clean no matter what I used on it for the last 5 years. For someone with OCD and who is also a germaphobe, This has been a complete nightmare for me. UNTIL your comment! My bathtubs are clean again thanks to you!!!! Who knew oven cleaner and magic eraser would literally be actual magic for the tub?!! Thank you!!!
Thanks so much for the before and after photos. So glad that you were able to find help on our site. :)
I have a cleaning business and I have fits with this so this morning I used comet and a wire brush very lightly it works great!
Comet is what I have used for many years. Great for cleaning the tub and sink. It's made in the USA and distributed by The Spic and Span company. Website: www.cometcleanser.com
doesn't work
Best way to clean a non skid shower stall floor?
The quickest way to clean a complete tub/shower complete with textured bottom is Easy Off Blue Fume Free Max! It contains no lye, so it won't harm the acrylic finish. For best results apply in evening and rise away come morning. If your tub/shower is grimy you May have to invest in up to 3-5 cans but it's well worth it.
Is the Easy Off oven cleaner in the blue can not harmful to the tub/shower's hardware, such as the faucets, shower head, or chrome ring around the drain? The reason that I'm asking this is because I discolored my kitchen faucets while I was cleaning my oven racks in my sink. I also have stains on the floor of my tub/shower that are very stubborn to remove, and I just wanted to make sure not to use the wrong product.
