When we bought the house the only thing that we both truly hated was how ugly and icky the bathroom was. The tile is original to the house, which was built in the 70s so it's this amazingly hideous retro blue tile. The tub...well, the tub had definitely seen better days. I think there were soap scum and hard water stains on there from years before. The tub is also original.
I had tried everything I could think of to get that sucker clean. I scrubbed with brushes and SOS pads (which somehow removed the finish but not the dirt - imagine that). I tried magic erasers. I tried every cleaner I could think of and made combinations of them the powers of which could rival the atom bomb. The scum wouldn't budge.
One day while shopping for some cleaners, I spotted this wonderful, magical cleaner (Arm & Hammer Scrub-Free with Oxy). I thought why the heck not and brought it home. Skeptical because it said "No scrub", I sprayed it on, left the bathroom for about 5-10 minutes and went back to wipe off the test spot. Oh.my.God. It is actually working. So, bit by bit, I sprayed, wiped, and sparkled my ugly old tub back to something presentable. I would have taken befores and afters, but believe me, you're better off not seeing it. It would have caused nightmares.
Just thought I'd pass it along for anyone who can never get their tubs clean, no matter what they've tried. I was not compensated for this post in any way; the product is simply awesome. If only everything were as easy.
