    I'd like to plead the fifth on that if I may. :p

    I do however have renewed respect for your secret life as a seedy club frequenter. ;)

    But not quite so secret anymore:rotfl: :rotfl: It's always the ones you'd never suspect:rolleyes: ;)

    And I forgot to answer the OP:o Try Barkeepers Friend. It's quite gentle but very effective:D

    Hubby sells bathrooms and says NEVER EVER EVER use any bleach product on bath... even jif/cif/mr muscle...
    On a steel or cast iron bath it will corrode the enamel over a period of time and go yellow, and on an acrylic bath it will take the shine off and leave a chalky white residue that you can't get rid of

    he says best thing to use is washing up liquid.. which I have to say brings it up lovely and sparkly and works out super cheap too!!

    He forgot to add.. it also invalidates your warranty if you use anything other than soap and water or washing up liquid, this is apparantly one of the first questions the manufacturer will ask you if you ring up with a problem..

    I got to say Cillit Bang is fantastic for removing stains, its the only chemical product I use now if vingear won't do the trick, and it removes my reddish hair dye off the tiled floor and the bath.

    Have you tried bicarbonate of soda & white vinegar mixed into a paste 2parts bicarb to 1 part vinegar? Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.

    Hi
    I have used a pink bath fizzer in our white bath today and it has managed to stain around the bath. I have tried using bathroom cleaners and although this has helped a bit there is still pink marks. Any ideas of any other products i could use to get rid of it. - To make matters worse the bathroom has only just been re-done and has only been in for a total of 3 weeks!!!
    Thanks

    Blimey, doesn't it make you wonder what they put in these things and what it must be doing to your skin! :eek:

    I hope you manage to find something that works!
