[Grovenet] Cleaning a tub

[Walt Wentz]

Is the stained surface still slick and glossy, or faintly rough or 
kidskin-texture? If the original surface gloss is gone-- maybe 
destroyed by abrasive cleansers-- then the stain may be very hard or 
impossible to remove. Try  rinsing the surface very clean, then apply 
liquid bleach, let stand 15 minutes and check to see if anything has 
happened, then rinse the bleach away.
Do NOT-- repeat, do NOT combine bleach with any other sort of 
cleanser, especially scouring powders! Dangerous fumes can result!
