DawnM Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 We have well water which leaves stains on the tub. I can't figure out how to get it off. I was told there is something stronger than CLR to use but don't know what it is. Anyone know what the industrial strength stuff is called?

Soror Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Vinegar and borax works pretty good imo, I squirt, sprinkle and scrubs and it generally takes care of it. If you are inclined filling it full and pouring in a ton of vinegar and letting it sit overnight can help get it started and much easier. I do that to my toilets.

sparrow Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Bar Keepers Friend. That's all you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Bar Keepers Friend. That's all you need. I've used that as well, it does work well. I find the borax works similarly and I keep it on hand anyway for laundry and dish detergent so it is my go to thing. I always used BKF with vinegar as well, it makes it fizz(and probably creates some toxic gas but nevermind that :) ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plink Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I have found that pumice stone and elbow-grease are the best way to fight stains that have been there a while. And I found a great product to keep my toilets rust-free without having to scrub all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happypamama Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Our grocery store has a couple of products, both similar, one maybe called Lime Away or something like that -- they're with the toilet bowl products and have the bent nozzle for squirting into the toilet bowl. They worked like a charm on the hard water stains on our toilets. Vinegar wasn't touching them at all. I squirted that stuff on, watched it fizz and bubble, and presto, stains were GONE.

duckabell Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I prefer a pumice stone to Bar Keepers Friend, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Thanks. I actually have some Bar Keeper's Friend here I could try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 I haven't heard of this. I will see if I can find it. The Works is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 I know she wasn't talking about BKF or Lime Away as she said it was industrial and only sold at places like Lowe's or Home Depot, but I will try it first. CLR and borax did nothing. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
