In this video we will be cleaning a dirty old porcelain bathtub. This tub is in a rental property I am renovating and I wanted to save money and clean the old tub instead of replacing it. Using simple cleaners and tools this is an easy DIY

Thank-you! Thank-you!! Thank-you!!! Anyone who owns an old porcelain tub knows how difficult it can be to keep clean. I've literally tried just about EVERY concoction that I could think of. This works!! Again, thank-you so very much for this video!😊 Happy just doesn't begin to describe how I'm feeling right now!!

I was stunned how phenomenally effective this was. I had persistent circular mold marks from a bath mat's suction cups and had tried EVERYTHING to remove them. I would estimate the oven cleaner and nylon brush removed 35% of the stain. The magic eraser COMPLETELY removed the remaining marks in about 5 minutes effort. It was amazing how effective the magic eraser was.

@@Jlaw01 absolutely. They left no apparent scratches on the porcelain whatsoever. I really don't understand why they worked so well while still seeming not to be abrasive to the tub itself at all. All I can say is that they worked with really minimal effort. I was shocked. I'd been preparing to try very fine grain sandpaper instead and am very glad I tried the magic eraser first. I had expected them to fail.

And maybe mention trying to keep from washing the toxic products down the drain. It's great you use the paper to get as much as possible. :) I think of this, because I live in the countryside and everything I put down my drain goes into the soil via a special septic trap, but it's near my garden. I've since become very conscious of those critters.

This bathtub is not porcelain. It is metal with enamel finish, like most tubs that are not fiberglass. A Magic eraser is not a scrubber. First, you get it wet. Then, you glide it over the surface like an.... eraser! He forgot to mention ventilation when using oven cleaner Rather than mention his lack of a spray bottle over and over, he should have driven to a different store to get one. When pouring the liquid around the tub, he should have put it in a small cup first. That's an easy way to avoid wasting it. This video is useless to anyone who does not have a bathtub full of mortar and sheetrock. While it is entertaining to see a well-built young man working his ass off, I don't need to do that to clean my tub.
