A MN tip has left me with a sticky problem

Following a tip on here I took a bath with sweet almond oil and Epsom salts in the water.

It was lush but I now can't get the oil if the surface of the bath and there are hairs sticking to it 😂.

I've tried usual cleaning products and a bathful of biological washing powder but there's still a residue.

Any ideas please?

Washing up liquid or a kitchen cleaner/degreaser.
Tried original fairy?

No I used bathroom cleaner but I guess they're not really designed for grease!

Elbow grease

Plain old fairy and very hot water would be my first try.
It's good for breaking and oily stuff down.

Green fairy liquid cuts through grease. I’ve also found cif very good. Both with hot water.

Rubbing alcohol.

Washing up liquid, hot water and a non scratch scrubber.
And don’t put oil in the bath again - makes it slippy, you don’t want to be going to A&E in nothing but a wet towel 🤣

True... I could hardly get out this time!

Try running round it with a damp dishwasher tab, that's my go-to for grease!
