Best way to clean a bath?

I ditto the washing powder, fill up bath with hot water and leave to soak.

Bicarb of soda is mildly abrasive, so it will shift the muck without damading the bath in any way. I'd try that first.

Make a quite rough paste and use an old rag to work the really bad areas.

I have a 'tide mark' about 5 " long on part of plastic type bath. No matter what I clean it with it wont dissapear. So far I have tried scrubbing with jif, bleach, various other surface cleaners. I think the mark may be connected to essential oils I use in the bath as I cant think of anything else. And before you say it.... I do have a bath often so it s not 'normal' dirt!!

If it's oils then the products you've already used should have shifted it. Have you tried a bit of vinegar? If that won't work then it can't be an oil stain

I havent tried vinager yet but thought neat bleach may have shifted it as i left it for about 10 mins before i rinsed. will try vinegar later. thanks

Ours was horrid, I found filling the bath with hot water, adding washing powder and leaving it overnight worked a treat (and took little effort! )

Essential oils will eat away at the plastic, so it's possible the bath has lots of little pits that get dirt in them. I think I'd try filling the bath so the water is above the level of the staining and use washing powder as Pitlanepiglet suggests.

hi have you tried putting wahing up liquid over it and leaving it on for a while. i once tried washing power in the bath, make sure the plud has agood seal on it. mine let water out slowly but the washing power in the water went below the line i was trying to get rid of.

I cleaned mine up after watching "How clean is your house". I used biological washing powder, and it actualy worked!

Biological washing powder is the way to go - I saw it on how clean is your house too!
