Cleaning Bath - dirty rim - please help!

Penguin_2 · 28 February 2006 at 4:33PM

Please can you advise me about getting the dirty water mark out of the bath? I always wash it after we have had a bath but it is still building up a dark mark.

Tips most welcome.

If its a bad tide-mark, rub with white spirit, and then rinse with a washing up liquid solution. If its a glass fibre bath, it will need to be treated more carefully, so elbow grease and the washing up liquid only!!!!! I then keep my bath clean by cleaning every other day with a spray made up of vinegar and water (half and half). If DS has had a bath/shower after football, i rinse the bath down straight after he has gotton out.

Is it a plastic bath or metal? My mum had a metal bath that had worn-off enamel around the top, leaving rough patches - this meant that all the dirt built up in the rough bits of the bath and left dark stains. She used to use bleach (sorry, not very OS or environmentally friendly, but it's the only thing that worked). She was advised to re-enamel it but ended up moving house and leaving it for the next owner.
