Fill it up. Drop in two bio washing powder tablets. Leave it sit. Let water out, scrub with nylon scrubby. Rinse.

pay for it to be re-enamelled

Oh thanks expat, never tried that, will the nylon scrub not erode it more, it is sooo rough.

T-cut car polish is excellent btw

if the surface of the enamel is worn away, re-enamelling is the only thing that will restore it to gleaming condition again

It's where the tap drips, it looks lovely. Suits my life.

I had an enamelled bath once

A friend (who was staying with me at the time) helpfully cleaned it with something you shouldn't use on enamel.

She poured it all round the bath and left it for a few minutes

teh liquid ate into teh enamel and left a stripy 'rib-cage' effect round the entire bath.

it never recovered

I moved

My mum did that to mine too.

She thought she was trying to help, bless her - doing my cleaning etc while I dealt with 4 week old ds. Fortunately we had just sold our house too so I didn't bother telling her off :o
