I got the new bathroom magic eraser and it it amazing. You will probaly use the whole thing the first time but it is so worth it and not all the chemical smells. My husband tried the car wax a few years ago and it turned it yellow. So not to that. Looooove the eraser.

OK, now how do you clean the non-stick decals on the floor of the shower? They are textured, I have tried EVERYthing, bleach, scrubbing with hard brush, can't get the dirt out of the little nooks..

also, peroxide, the kind in the brown bottle..is really what oxyclean is..

Go to a boat/marine store, they have fiberglass cleaner for boats, you can use it on the tub.. I have one fiberglass tub and I hate it too.

I've never had those, but I know what you are talking about. Have you tried amonia? I use that to remove floor wax, so it might work.....put the stopper in, pour on top and let it sit and soak??? Worth a try...

I stay away from the chemical cleaners as much as I can...I would never use furniture polish on something I woulod bathe in...yikes! But when we lived in the log cabin I had an old claw footed tub that was so old it would actually leave scratches on the kids bottoms...ugh! And I had terrible hard water as well. I finally figured out that if I cut a lemon in half, loaded it with salt and used it like a scrubber it did a marvelous job. (Scrub it and let it sit for a few minutes) A vinegar rinse really helped keep the hard water/rust from reaccumilating.
