    Good call. I have a sneaky suspicion that my six year old isn't the only male in the house to play battleships in the bath, lol.

    I had some toy marks on my bath that I was never able to shift with Flash bathroom, then my cleaners used some watered down cif and it did the job.

    In about 10 years time you will be wishing you only had marks on the new bath from his toys to worry about!

    right, the boat is in the bin, the child is in the doghouse and i used a bit of cif successfully.

    Now the *real* old fashioned manner would be ....

    ... discipline (educate) the child by getting your 6yo to clean the stain with the cleaner! He'll learn how to clean up his mistakes, the time it would take would be as good as time out becauses he's away from his toys and you get the desired result! Simple :D

    Just a thought, you said the bath toys were in a metal bin? Do you have a liner in it, otherwise any damp from the bath toys will cause the metal to rust ;)

    Can anyone suggest how I might get those irratating marks that the children's plastic toys have made on my plastic bath?

    Elbow grease and spray cleaner doesn't seem to be sufficient and I'm worried that anything abrasive will scratch the surface.

    Thanks

    Hi full-time-mum,

    The replies in this thread suggest using cif.

    I've used it on the bath to remove marks from toys before and it hasn't done the bath any harm. I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the replies together.
