AT DC,
I moved into an apartment with old bathtub stains that really gross me out. The former resident’s bathmat left dark stains on the bottom of the tub. I love taking baths but wouldn’t be able to relax with those icky stains. I’ve tried various bathroom cleaners and none have gotten rid of the stains. Any ideas? I really miss my bath time!
Thanks,
Sad in the Shower

We’ve heard that baking soda, bleach, and vinegar can clean tough bathtub stains. Applying a past of dishwater detergent (let sit for an hour) can also be effective.
