What's the best product to use in cleaning a long neglected bath tub.
We just moved into a rental and the bath tub has a lot scum and grime in
it. Any suggestions of what to use to clean it? Thanks.
DON'T use ajax or comet or any other powdered cleanser. They
will take the finish off the tub and then you will never, ever be able to
get it clean. The CLR is probably your best bet.
Here is what I use for my Shower/tub:
Clorox disinfecting bathroom cleaner, you can also use an all purpose
spray such as 409, or FANTASTIK
Soft Scrub or Comet
Windex for my faucets
Abrasive sponge/Scrub brush Paper towels Latex gloves(optional) Make sure everything is removed from the bathtub If you have tiled walls around, start by spraying them down with the bathroom cleaner, then wipe with paper towels. You can let it sit also to disinfect Then wet the basin of the tub & either sprinkle ur comet or pour ur soft scrub. If you are using Comet, let it sit for about 3 minutes, if ur using soft scrub don't because since it is a paste it is harder for it to disinfect because it wont always cover the basin. Take ur scrub brush & scrub really good everywhere & then rinse, repeat until all scum & grime is gone Then if you have stainless steel faucets spray it down with windex & a paper towel. It will shine like new :)
I just researched the same thing at different hardware stores
and asking tile workers.
Without a doubt, the best that I tried was the CLR Bath & Kitchen cleaner.
It comes in a YELLOW spray bottle. Don't get it confused with CLR is
Gray container which looks like it would be stronger. I tried both and
the Yellow spray bottle works better. You can get it at Home Depot and
Stater Brothers. Good luck.
I start with ajax and scrub it in let it set then wash it out
real good scrubbing the whole way! What ever is left over try Lime Away
gel it removes rust hard water deposits and things that would other wise
be impossible to get up! This should do it if anything left over I would
say it lives there! Good Luck! Do not mix the Ajax with Lime Away keep
them seperated!
Get some DAWN dishwashing liquid and Comet or Ajax. Use a scrub
brush and some elbow grease!
Biological washing powder. I kid you not!
Put in a couple of good doses of powder, fill the bath above the line of
grime with warm water and leave overnight.
When you empty the bath in the morning, wash any remaining scum using a
soft cloth and loads of warm water. If there is still some scum left, make a paste from the washing powder and scrub stubborn marks. Finish with water and buff to a lovely shine!
Bleach..and yet more bleach , and a scrubbing brush or two
