What to use on the bath

gallygirl

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

Are you mocking my good taste by any chance.... just wait, I'll have the last laugh..... anyway, everyone knows avocado is naff - anyone got a burgundy suite for sale?????

Seriously, am doing up a buy to let on a shoestring to sell - not worth spending money on a newsuite - v cheap area.

'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!'

Will try both of these but not at same time - may be toxic!!!!

Hmmm.... guess that means you don't have a burgundy suite for sale either........ oh well, will try ebay......

Anyway, the winner is.... cream cleanser (safeway's lemon, has been hanging round for a while......) All stains removed by cleanser.... wasn't actually fair trial as forgot to take anything but cleanser with me. But it worked!!!!

So.... Mado, the next challenge is how do I transform grey suite (with no rust stains!!!!!) to a white one...... think it will take a lot of vinegar....

Hello all, I wonder if you could help please. I have a constant battle with keeping our bath clean.

It does have water marks on it, which I realise can't be cured but these also, well I surpose its scummy soapy leftovers.

Its in the bottom half of the bath so I guess its where the soapy water has been.

At the moment I'm using a sort of limescale power spray type thing. I used to use Flash spray but although it smells nice it dosn't really work :eek: The limescale thingy isn't bad but its not really shifting anything.

Any help appreciated please.

I use Tesco's own Bathroom Cleaner its excellent , it cleans all the scum and limscale away and it leaves the bath sparkling , when you run the shower after cleaning the water sort of runs off as if the bath has been polished with a wax cleaner for a couple of days...but I always rinse round the bath with the hand spray after use as if I see hairs in the bath it makes me want to puke :rotfl: (of course I do IT after son and OH too as they never bother ) IT MUST BE A WOMAN THING

Thanks, I'll get some next time I'm there :T

i just clean out every evening using a squirt of stardrops and a cheapy tesco value sponge scourer with lots of hot water to rinse.

if you keep on top of it so to spk lol it shouldnt need heavy duty scrubbing at all

Linda32

Mine does.

Stardrops is a waste of time and effort on my bath, actually this is sounding really gross now :eek:

Linda it could be that your bath has lost its shiny surface with age and scrubbing in which case its much harder to get it clean as it becomes porous and the stains sort of sink into the surface, you might have to just accept that it will never look sparkly and new again..... or get a new bath...:rotfl:

I think you have to start with a brand new sparkling clean bath and never ever let any scum build up or you'll never get it sparkling clean. ( thats my excuse and Im sticking to it )
Also make any men of the house shower and bathe elsewhere. ( and preferably make them use the loo elsewhere too.);)
