Do you bleach your bath?

[Littleduckeggblue]

After reading on another thread about people using (or in this case not using) bleach when cleaning their baths I was shocked to hear that I'm in the minority of people who do this.
Do you use bleach to clean your baths?

[FiveLittlePigs]

Why bleach the bath? A bit of Stardrops diluted is fine!

[Frith2013]

I don’t use bleach at all. Anywhere.

[BarbaraStrozzi]

No, because I have an old-fashioned enamelled bath and it knackers the enamel.

[UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername]

We don't own any bleach.

[Ohyesiam]

No, there’s no need unless one of your family has an infectious skin condition ( or poos in the bath).

[InsertFunnyUsername]

I do.

[PolkadotLollipop]

No. I just use Flash all purpose liquid.

[Alsohuman]

Why would you? Cleaning it’s enough, surely?

[LadyOfTheFlowers]

I use cif cream and elbow grease to remove the scuzz/dead skin tide mark rather then bleach it white.
Get some. Rub it with a cloth. The grey filth that comes off it will make you boak.

[MissRabbitNeedsAHoliday]

I do, i always bleach my full bathroom. I thought that was normal

[greenmentalsoup]

Nope. Seems more hassle than it's worth and I'd be worried than any residue might irritate the kids skin.

[ElizaPancakes]

I don’t use it to clean the bath but I do use it on the manky old seal that gets mouldy very quickly.

[HotChocWithCream]

My bathrooms get bleached - walls (tiled), floor, toilets, sinks. I thought it was normal?

[orangeicecream]

I don't use any bleach.

[munemema]

No, it's never occurred to me to do so. I very occasionally wipe the grouting/sealant around the bath with bleach to deal with mold/mildew.

[BertieBotts]

Er... no? Why would it need bleaching?? Bleach is to kill germs or whiten stains. My bath has none of those things, normal cleaning spray or hot soapy water is fine.

[dementedpixie]

I'm scared of bleach and the effect it would have on my clothes if I splashed it. I use CIF cream cleaner usually

[BertieBotts]

Yes, fair point - would probably use if there was mould. The anti mould sprays tend to have bleach in them.

[Skittlenommer]

My housekeeper cleans it but pretty sure she doesn’t use bleach! Whatever she does it’s gleaming afterwards!

[Fatted]

Yes. As far as I'm concerned my bathroom is not clean unless I can see my reflection in the tiles and it smells like a swimming pool.

The reality is with other cleaning products I would have to scrub to get the grout clean. I can throw some bleach at it, wait five minutes, wipe and then rinse.

[bloodywhitecat]

No, why would you bleach a bath? I don't bleach the loo either unless it is absolutely necessary as we are on a septic tank.

[Fatted]

@BertieBotts

[Fabuleuse]

I don't use bleach anywhere, apart from occasionally on mouldy sealant. In my bathroom I use Flash bathroom spray (non bleach version) and toilet cleaner. I don't really understand why you'd use bleach? It smells awful and is terrible for skin and clothes surely.

[Mummyto2munchkins]

Isn't using bleach to clean the bath normal?
I always use bleach to do a full clean in the bathroom?
What about all the dirty water you has a wash in? Surely dead skin cells would stick to the side? Or if you've got a cold or something and sneaze in it?

[CassianAndor]

No!!!!!!!
