how do I get rid of persistent stains in a white tub??

Question

I have a white tub; the regular type; and I have some stains that just won't go away? if you can help, most appreciated. thanks

To the ones who answered, thanks. to those who got on here acting superior, why come and do that? folks come here asking for help some people don't know everything and the best way to find out is to simply ask; if you come here doing that, you WILL get a low rating from me because I am one who wants to know. Again, I thank those who were kind to answer the question with great suggestions. peace.

Answer 1

Try comet spray bathroom cleaner ,spray and let set for like 10 minutes squeeze some soft scub at the bottom of the tub and scrub with a scrub brush rinse with a cup and hot water.Works wonders comet is a awsome bathroom cleaner and soft scrub is great on stains.Your bathroom will smell so clean when your done..

Answer 2

You need to know the type of stain first before you can treat it. Some of the fibreglass tubs are so easy to scratch, that you can't use anything abrasive. If you try it on an area not easily seen and it doesn't scratch, try making a paste of baking soda and water until it is semi-solid and dripping somewhat. Apply all over the tub, so you don't get different whiteness. Go do something for awhile, then wash off. It should work. There are also liquid cleansers (I use the bleach-included type) that work well, but apply and add some water to make it spread all over and leave it; do the above, and this should work, also.

I used OxyClean on a tub i'd scrubbed for years- it worked wonders!
I just washed down the tub, sprinkled it on liberally (on the stains) and let it sit for about an hour. Came back, scrubbed, rinsed.
Worked great. No Stains, white tub again!
Now maybe once every 6 months, i fill the tub with Hot water and I pour in a scoop of Oxyclean and let it sit for an hour.
Shiny tub!
But my tub is old- might not be a good idea for a newer porcelain tub.

Answer 4

fill with hot water and pour some bleach in and let stand for a hour or so. that should take care of the stains. make sure you rinse out the tub very well after because bleach can burn the skin and cause blisters or a rash.

One thing is to be proactive and clean your tub regularly enough that it doesn't get nasty stains. Good gracious.

Once they are there, you're going to need to use bleach and a toothbrush to make any impact at all on the stains.
