Bathtub cleaning?

Question

I have an old claw foot bathtub that needs cleaning. Everytime I clean it, the dirt eventually shows through, I rent an apartment so, I don't want to redo the tub just clean it. Is there anyway to clean it so the stains won't show through, using household cleaners??

Answer 1

Try some Bar Keepers friend, it's sort of like Comet only better...

Answer 2

bleach or bar keepers friend or a product called wink its in a brown bottle and it works well

Answer 3

Try bleach with a brush. Rinse it out after 10 minutes and dry it out.

Answer 4

If stains are showing through, most likely the tub finish is wearing out. When that happens, the cast iron under the porcelain gets exposed to a little water, it rusts, and stains. You can't do a lot about that. Also, if the finish is wearing out, it will be rough and tend to hang on to dirt. I'd scrub with some Comet and a sponge, , maybe a little bleach, rinse well, and the tub will be clean even if it's stained and doesn't look so good.
