scummy bath

jackyann

Jackie, I wouldn't be surprised if the surface has been ruined, possibly by over-enthusiastic & ill-informed cleaning. It roughens, then scum clings on to it, and is almost impossible to shift.
As you clean, you'll get an idea as to whether that is the case. However, what to do about it is more difficult.
Let us know.

When I groom I deliberately drop my clippings into the bath. It is up to the next user to clear these away! Got it?

Is Vim no longer on the market?

If not Ajax cream cleanser


Trouble is we don't know what the bath is made off, nor what the staining is. It could be lime scale, could be where the enamel is worn

Stardrops every time plus one of those sponge things you can get in pound shops that are like foam and you cut bits off should help, son is a welder among other things and comes home black every night and leaves the most awful tide mark but this seems to work for us.

When you use vinegar: squirt on the affected area, then put some toiletpaper over it to keep the vinegar in the right place and leave to soak. Repeat as necessary.

Shampoo might help, too, especially if it container sodium Laureth sulfate (sp?).
