What to use on the bath

arkonite_babe

I tend to use bicarb and a red vileda cloth and hot water. We live in a hard water area nad I find this works for me.

For scrubbing the bath i use one of those mesh/net body scrub things along with any old bubble bath/shower gel/shampoo,you know those cheap,tacky sets someone always buys you for xmas,the ones in a basket that come with a massage roller thing.Not very old style and im not ungrateful,honest,i just rather they kept their money because everyone knows i have sensative skin,ive told them often enough that i can only use certain products.

Help - have read through loads of tips, but none say how to clean brown 'water' type stains from bath (caused by leaking taps).

Bath is grey :eek: acrylic.

Thanks.

On acrylic, hard water marks can be removed with a cream cleaner, if its tidemarks try white spirit, then rinse with a washing up liquid solution.

Hi ali,

If the stains are caused by leaking taps, the chances are that they are a build up of limescale. Try rubbing the marks with neat vinegar....it worked a treat on our bathroom sink where we had a stain from a dripping tap.

Thanks - will do trial - cream cleanser on 1 side, vinegar on the other:cheesy:

Discoloration may be permanent.... if the surface has been attacked.

Not very MSE, but sounds like you need a need one !:D
Avocado suite anyone?

If the mark is on a part of the bath that you can't easily soak with vinegar for a while, either dampen a piece of kitchen roll with vinegar and leave it on it, or make a paste with vinegar and bicarbonate of soda and paste it on.

I had a rust mark on my white plastic bath (caused by a deoderant can or something). I was told to cover it with salt and squeeze lemon juice onto the top. Left it for 20minutes and it came off a treat!
