    Is it sad of me to keep checking back every few hours - I'm dying to know which one is going to do the job!!

    Although, I suppose in fairness, the predecessors would have "weakened" it - as my husband says when I have to open a jar for him!!:rotfl:

    Glad I'm not the only one :D

    This has become more important to me than cleaning my own house today - have been racking my brains for any other solutions.

    I do remember Kim and Aggie banging on about biological washing powder in a tub of hot water, let soak over night - has anyone suggested this yet?

    JPSCLoud - :eek: is right!!

    Fwiw, I am thinking that bleach is your best bet for removing the cola stains and for the original marks my money would be on biological washing powder.
    You poor thing, you must have scrubbed that bath at least 10times in the last few days!

    I'm losing the will to live!!!

    I think the bleach is working- I'll leave it for as long as I can then scrub.

    Then oven cleaner- I'm hopeful that might work.
