[Grovenet] Cleaning a tub

[Bonnie Combs]

Chris,

My favorite "home remedy" for bad stains is baking
soda and what Grandma used to call "elbow grease".  If
that doesn't work, spray some vinegar on it.

Years ago there was an item called, I think, "Lady's
Aid" which is a bar of gritty stone-like stuff for
getting rings off porcelain toilets.  It could
possibly be found at a janitorial supply house or at
Grande Foods.  Mine has lasted so long that I haven't
looked for one for years.. I'd call this a "last
resort".

I've seen ads for a company called "ReBath" which
applies a lining to your tub/shower for a price.

Best of luck on this, Chris.
