bath tub cleaning question

6 replies

I'm probably missing something obvious, but...

I have to clean a grungy bath tub. It is enameled metal, not acrylic. I have three different cleaners, and all say essentially the same thing... spray on, wait a few minutes, wipe off, and then rinse.

This might work on horizontal surfaces, but on vertical surfaces the cleaner just runs down, and makes streaks.

How do I make the cleaner stay on vertical surfaces long enough?

don't use anything acidic on enamel. that will leave matte streaks.

creamcleaner is very effective. apply, scrub a bit, rinse off.

I'd use something like cif cream cleaner instead of spray

Cillet bang foam cleaner! Brilliant stuff and the foam is thick enough it won't run too much. I use it in my shower which is obviously vertical

I used bicarbonate . Add a splash of water and scrub it all over the bath. Leave and rinse. Came up a treat. My partner and son are both mechanics so the level of grim is horrendous. Bath come up looking brand new each time

Beware of sprays hiding bleach ingredients!
