How to get a mark off the bath tub?

Question

AUSTRALIA

our shower is over the bath. the bath is a cream colour and there is a bit of a ring around the part where we shower, not so much all the way round. i use CLR bathroom and kitchen cleaner eodoriser. its surpose to remove calcuim & lime depoists, lime scale and sop scum and dirt and discolouration. perhaps i`m not using it right? or maybe there is something else i should try??? really not sure. also get abit of mould to on the tiles and under the tap. the bathroom is fully tiled from the floor to the roof. i usually just spray some exit mould on there and it goes but it eventually comes back again. really wanna just get the bath tub looking shiney and nice!! any remedies or secrets that will fix this problem would be muchly appreciated!! xx

Answer 1

we have the same set up shower/bath wise and i have found the best chemical free way of getting rid of all the yuck stuff from the surface is the chux magic erasers.... the only problem with these is they are a bit pricey. But with a little investigation i came across a large packet of 4 (vileda brand) in the cleaning isle of Bunnings for about $5 ( they work like a charm). you could also try sprinkling bicarb soda over the area followed by white vinegar and as the bicarb and vinegar bubble work over with a nylon brush which wont damage the surface

hope this has helped

:)

Answer 2

Try the majic eraser. I think that should do the trick.After you scrub it all down, I would spray some lysol oever the entire area to kill any mold germs you cant see.Try to keep the tile as dry as possible to prevent mold coming back. Maybe wipe it down after you shower and spray it with lysol.

Answer 3

Save your money, CLR and other chemicals are a waste of $$'s and time. All you need do is use bi-carb soda sprinkled on then spray with white vinegar and when it 'fizzes' rub off using a balled up pair of old pantyhose. Rinse off. Repeat as necessary. After you clean thoroughly, spray down with a light white vinegar and tap water mixture, which will rinse off at next shower. Vinegar will help inhibit mould. Make sure the bathroom is well ventilated and or invest in a light, fan heater combination set. The heat lamps keep the room dry, so prevent the build up of mould. To help with the soap scum build up change to using liquid soap/body wash-a far better option to bar soap. Use the same procedure around the taps and polish with a soft cloth. Cheap, readily available and NO FUMES for you to breath or damage to the earth. Good luck.

Try Denture cleaner, soak 30 mins - then rinse & ordinary lemon cleaner. Regards. UK

Answer 5

For most of us, cleaning the bath tub is not a task we look forward to. Wouldn't it be nice if it could just stay clean? While rings in your bath tub are inevitable - especially if you have children in the house - there are some steps you can take to make cleanup duty a breeze!

Things You'll Need:

bathroom cleaner product

sponge or rag

Step1

Make a clean start. Use a good bathroom cleaner product and sponge to scrub that ring off. The best product for the job (and one of the few commercial cleaners I use) is "Scrubbing Bubbles". Just spray it on, leave for a few minutes, then the ring wipes off very easily.

Step2

KEEP it clean! Each time the bath tub is used, wipe it down as the water is draining with either the washcloth that was used for bathing, or a sponge kept in the bathroom for that purpose.

Step3

Consider the soap you are using. Any solid bar soap is going to leave soap scum that will mess up your nice, clean tub! Try a clear liquid soap or shower gel instead.

_____________________

Be careful not to breathe the fumes from the "Scrubbing Bubbles", and use the product according to package instructions.

Answer 6

I've always used bleach/water and a scrub brush. works good on mold and is non acidic or abrasive.

Just let it sit for a while and rinse thoroughly.

Answer 7

You can use some a mixture of bleach and water. Or you can get something such as Ajax or Scrubbing Bubbles or Pine Sol....anything sound familiar?? Those three work wonders especially Scrubbing Bubbles. Try it, hope I helped a little
