How do you get rid of bath tub scum even after trying cleansing products?

oven cleaner sounds interesting, i would spray it down with white vineagar, sprinkle on baking soda, let fizz up, do it again, then scrub down with one of those green scrubbing pads..do this weekly, and should not have this problem. hot water rinse after each shower, cleaning the drain to avoid the runoff backing up..good luck..How do you get rid of bath tub scum even after trying cleansing products?
I fill the bathtub up with hot water and add some bleach, maybe about a cup. Then let it soak for a bit. After it's soaked, empty the tub and rinse it down. While the tub is still wet, squirt some shampoo on a scrubby and use it to get whatever else didn't come off. If you use the scrubby and shampoo after every bath you won't have any more bath scumHow do you get rid of bath tub scum even after trying cleansing products?
All you people who said oven cleaner, don't even go there with


that answer, it's for ovens period. There are many good products


for bathroom cleaning and should be used accordingly. If you have a fiberglass tub follow the manufacturers cleaning advice as


most products will ruin the finish and make it look worse. What


type of finish is your tub by the way?
comet works GREAT just put it on let it sit for 1/2 if you don't wait that long it won't work!


i got rust stains out of my porchline sink!





if all else fails get some Goof off- home depot sells it!


gets everything off! and will discolor so check spots!
Mr Clean Magic Erasers work awesome on bathtub scum. I actually just used it on Saturday. It works for just about everything else as well. You can pick them up at any Wal-Mart, ShopKo, K-Mart, etc.
Use oven cleaner to dissolve the grease
The best thing I have found is a product called Bar Keeper's Friend. Use it wil a damp sponge and it will take the scum right off. Good Luck.
Spray on Dow Scrubbing Bubbles, let sit, spray again and scrub with mesh covered sponge (Dobie is the brand name) Takes a bit of elbow grease. Mr Clean Magic eraser. Those green 3M scrubbers will take the finish off of your tub, be gentle.





When you're finished their my shower could use some work....I'll supply the beer and/or champagne!
I use dish soap and one of those green scrubby sponges-works for me. Even after 5 kids and a hubby bathed.


It is harder, if you let it build up and dry on, though. Keep scrubbing and rinsing.
what have you tried? How about lime away, CLR, comet, soft scrub, white vinegar? Not all at once though : )
i have that same problem, no matter how much, i scrub. dirty ring around the tub drives me up the walll.
I use Snobol Toliet cleaner squirt it around the tub and on the bottom of it let it stay there for 10 to 15 minutes then use a scubby to wipe around and sides and bottom of the tub and bathroom sink and toliets rinse well then spray glass cleaner on the tub and buff dry it with towel . i use this all the time makes my tub look brandnew.
