Have just bought a 1945 vintage house with a very dirty bath.
The enamel surface is well worn and the bath is very grimey.
Has anyone got a good method of cleaning it without tackling it with loads of vim and elbow grease, which would probably remove more of the enamel surface.
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jenny.

If it is very yuk, try oven cleaner!!!! Tried this once on shower walls of a flat my son shifted into. Leave it on for no more than ten minutes tho.
Hope this helps.

Lemon juice, or vinegar with baking soda mixed to a thick paste and left on for an hour or so is great. Used this on a 1920's claw foot "white" bath and it came up a treat.

I woulnt try the oven cleaner I think it would pit the enamel. Make a paste of Baking soda and paroxide. spread on the bath and leave to dry then wash off. I have used this on a bath that had iron water stains and it worked great.

Maybe.............try some dishwasher granules or you may just have to have the bath resurfaced !!

I read the other day to use "steradent" or any other denture cleaner in the toilet (for stubborn stains below the surface!) - just dissolve & leave overnight - it could work on a bath if you used enough....

Using steradent myself, for the intended purpose, it would be hugely expensive !

Thank you for all the ideas. Iwill try a few.

A cleaner called Shower Power will do the job...just tub it on and let it do its thing.....may need to rub a bit with a non scratcy scourer to get off the yuk bits
Good luck
