    This is fab stuff! Is it safe to use on a bath though? I only use it for my sink/oven.

    Absolutley fine on my enamelled one. In fact, should you ever have to use one of those metal things to unblock a toilet, and get all those marks that look like scratches appear down there - if you empty out the water, it will get rid of those too. :D

    ok so after first soaking with bicarb of soda and scrubbing down, no noticeable improvement. Next was soaking for over 12 hours in a strong bleach solution. See picture- some marginal improvement.

    Bicarb of soda rubbed in on half a lemon should work :j

    Wow that is one persistent beggar of a stain!!!

    I'd now scrub neat thick bleach into each stain with an old toothbrush and leave that overnight and scrub again...

    Another vote here for Barkeepers Friend - brilliant stuff!

    I also remember that Astonish paste used to work pretty well, but don't know if that is still available?
