    I can't get over you still having the landlords toilet brush after 3.5years in the bathroom. Please say it's unused :s

    Nice bathroom as others have said. The tiles are fab Ask for the inventory photo showing it not there. 
  • It's actually a metallic brush holder and it might be mine since I just looked at the original photos and it wasn't there (it's been a long time). Anyway attaching the check in inventory pics and comments.

    The marks are rust stains from a rusty chromed-mild-steel bog brush holder.

    If it's your holder, that's a slightly different kettle of brown trout to if it's the landlord's...

    If it can’t be removed by cleaning a white grout pen for a few pounds should do it.

    What a petty landlord! There's nothing wrong with that bathroom and s/he should think her/himself exceptionally lucky for having had such a fabulous tenant. I'm another one in favour of the pink stuff - it really is magic. Or failing that, CIF mould spray (but be careful 'cos that blows your head off!) (tries to anyway) - it cleans everything. In an acidic kinda way.

    When you see what state some rented properties are left in, your landlord should be thoroughly ashamed. If you had been my tenant, I'd be paying you extra just for keeping everything so lovely. 

    Or maybe it was all just a joke? That's the most reasonable explanation!
