cast iron victorian bath

[betterhalf]

What can I use to clean one of these. I don't want to risk discolouring it.

anyone?

I read diluted white vinegar will clean up but have never tried it.

I used to just use ordinary bathroom spray in ours

We have a lovely claw foot cast iron bath. It was really quite stained and a bit manky looking, so got it polished a few years ago. Looked like new!

The guy who did it told me to only use wahing up liquid to clean it, also I could use one of those sponge/scourer things. Anything stronger damages the enamel glaze.

Several years later it still looks as good as new. It's tempting to use something 'hardcore' I know, but it will damage the bath.

Great thanks. It's a lovely claw foot bath, and I'd hate to do something to ruin it.

see my profile for my old bath !

What a great use for it!. Can I just also say what a gorgeous looking son you have. He's got a great smile.

why thank you betterhalf !
As for the bath - I was sad to lose it but it was far too tiny to bathe in comfortably, very narrow and not long enough- it weighs a ton and took 3 men to get it downstairs - I think plumbers normally smash them up to remove them

Yeah they are so heavy. Took DH and 2 friends to get ours put upstairs. Fortunately I could use the excuse of having had a CS in January as an excuse not to help. { Am secretly planning on using this excuse for a few years, but don't think DH is daft enough to fall for it. Then again, he has so far, hehe}

We paid £350 for ours from a reclaimation (sp?) site. Think you can get up to £500/ £600 for them if they're in good condition.

ooh ! shall I empty out my compost ?
