bleach??

if you dont want to use bleach put a plug in or bung up the hole
then put a tablespoon of bicarb onto it add half mug of vinegar

or use the peroxide mix I gave for cleaning the bath

if you can block up the outlet
try filling the tray with water and a few steradent and leaving overnight

or if not use an old toothbrush to brush on some thick bleach and leave for a while

Bleach is all right if it is a white shower tray but if not you are in trouble.

I used a solution of white vinegar and water - heated it up in microwave then put it in spray bottle and sprayed the stains - left for 30 mins or longer then scubbed off residue with miracle cloth.(a cloth with little raised dots to reach crevices)

It worked really well

I find Astonish cream on one of those pads with green nylon type scourer attached works for me. Maybe not the first time, but after a couple of goes......

I clean up after a shower, so rather than bend down, I use my foot on top of the pad to do the scrubbing! :P

Also gets the water marks off the glass door too.

Astonish may well be available in some of your local discount stores. Our "Home Bargains" has it at 85p, and lasts for ages.

Very mildly abrasive, so take care on plastic bases.

Regards,

I have a pale cream shower tray with lots of little grooves that are hard to clean. I can't block my drain outlet, so I use old fashioned vim (with bleach) . Whilst the tray is still wet, I sprinkle it liberally around. Cos it's a powder, it stays put. I leave for as long as I can - overnight sometimes, then I scrub it with a dish brush. (No, not the one from the kitchen ;D ) Good rinse and it's clean. Also, it's easy to see the bits you've missed, so just sprinkle on them next time.

Part of my white plastic shower tray has gone pink. I do clean it but nothing gets the pink off - no, I don't dye my hair pink in the shower but can't vouch for what's in my aussie shampoo

Have tried stardrops, bleach and ordinary cleaners which have no effect. It is starting to look seriously manky but I'm not wanting to replace it in the next few months due to other expenses. Can anyone help please?

many thanks.
