HOW TO CLEAN A WHITE PLASTIC BATH

6 replies

Linz2 · 23/05/2008 21:37

I have a white plastic bath and despite regular cleaning it has a greyish look to it, I live in a hard water area so assume it is a build up of limescale. If you scratch at it with your thumbnail you can get the film off but very time consuming, can anyone recommend a cleaning product that will bring my bath back to its original gleaming self?

for limescale - limelite gel is very good, you just literally squeeze it on and leave it 10 mins or so to do its thing then rinse off.

soak in washing powder and then use washing up liquid to clean it instead of bathroom cleaner

I watch things like HOW Clean Is Your House and Cleanaholics etc and apparently the best way to clean a plastic bath is when you get out, top the water up to just above the rim mark and add a cup af washing powder, leave it to soak over night.

Don't use a scourer, which is what one of my children helpfully did

Have you got a microfibre cloth? If so try that before anything else - they are scarily good at cleaning most surfaces without adding anything except water

Try Fairy Power spray, I use it for baths, showers and almost everything else, it's great.
