What should I use to clean tubgrip treated tub? (great product by the way)

We just use regular cleaners like Lysol... But it's not perfectly white. I read that there is a special cleaner called R.O.G. It costs allot more but is said to make the tub like new. I may try that. No matter what we still love tub grip, it IS a great product!

Hi Penny, I purchased this product for my mom and it didn't work for her. So we just use regular cleaning products. It doesn't appear to have affected the anti-slip too much.

If I remember correctly, the instructions said to clean it with a "soft" cleanser...something like soft scrub.

Here is what I have learned: clean tub as frequently as possible so the oils and chemicals from body washes, scrubs, shampoos, etc don't break it down and wear it out. Also don't scrub too hard because that will wear it down too. But I agree... GREAT PRODUCT!

I'm not sure, but a good cleaner and a stiff brush?Maybe something like Clorox's "Anywhere" cleaner?

I would test first if you don't want to risk damaging the tub-I don't know how the chemical reaction might work-but this stuff is certainly stronger than Goo Gone. I've easily removed decals and sticker residue with the 3M, where Goo Gone did nothing but make a mess.

Sal suds is perfect for this job! You do need to mix it with water before putting in on the floor. One teaspoon per galon of water is plenty! Good luck :)

Hi again Robin,Can you give any advice on how you used the steamer to clean your tub? I just finally tried mine out last night and it didn't really lift off the soap scum. Maybe it was just too much scum for it to handle?Also, it left residue from what it had picked up on the floor the first time. Any tips?Thanks for your advice!Renee

I do not have such a tub--but I will say that Bon Ami is so useful in cleaning because it does not contain any scratchy grit (like other granulated cleaners). I was so delighted to find a source--I imagine many women prefer liquid cleaners nowadays. Hope this helps.

After thoroughly scrubbing the tub out, wipe it down with a generous amount of rubbing alcohol. This doesn't last more than 6 months or so in the shower with daily showering - so I would expect it to last even less in a tub with jets.

I use a spray bottle with dawn and water, spray the entire tub wipe and rinse

I suggest removing as much as you can with a razor blade and then soaking in dishwashing soap and hot water. My review mentions I used a citrus based cleaner which is also effective. WD-40 works great on these sorts of things but I didn't want to use because I felt the post WD-40 cleanup and possible toxins were too much to deal with. I don't recommend aggressive heating or really aggressive scrubbing with anything like a wire brush as there is a remote possibility of igniting the magnesium.

For the various attachments I have just used Soft Soap and water, and a toothbrush with soft bristles. For the actual device. I just use a damp cloth where needed. The device usually does not get very dirty.

Are you asking about a jetted bath tub or a hot tub? For a jetted bath tub I would use the Ahh-some. It may take a couple of cleanings to get everything out of the pipes. This product is amazing.

Whirl Out does do some cleanout of minerals, but I'm not sure exactly what, except that it cleans pretty well. The best product I've found so far is called "Oh Yuk Jetted Tub System Cleaner." It has been taking care of our bacterial iron that had been accumulating in the pipes. It dissolves a lot of it, and WhirlOut does too, but not quite as good. I have found using warm to hot water in both the cleaning and the rinse helps. The problem is, for me, that I'm not sure what harsh chemicals I can use or not use in the jacuzzi tub. If I could use anything, I would pick Iron Out. It might sound funny or silly, but for very small corroded items, Efferdent (for cleaning dentures) does an excellent job. I was looking for something to clean a partial, and one of the reviews for Efferdent was a guy who uses it to clean the minerals, calcium, etc, from his toilet. I tried Efferent in the toilet and it actually did a fairly decent job. With hot water, I think it could have done better. Hope these suggestions help. Ingrid

It's about the only thing that worked on my Kohler tub but it took a lot of scrubbing. Also, be careful, you'll need to let it sit and then scrub repeatedly but watch your chrome fixtures; this will pit them. I found out the hard way. You have to get the scrubby thing that is recommended for it too. Nothing else will work. Happy scrubbing.

I usually have the tub about half full then get in and attach. Are you firmly pressing each little suction cup? Seems to me that some cups are submerged and some are still out of the water when I do it. Perhaps a quick wipe of the area with plain vinegar to get rid of any old oil or soap scum might help. I love the thing!

I used it on a heavily rust stained fiberglass/plastic bathtub. I had tried many other surface cleaners claiming rust stain removal. The best, with much work, got the tub fairly clean. I was afraid that something that worked as good as Goof Off, claimed would damage the surface. With not much more than spray it on & wipe it off, the tub was back to its bright white & no damage to the tub surface. Miracle of miracles.

It doesn't do a perfect job on the rough bottom of the tub but it does as good as anything I have found. In other words I have never found anything that will clean that perfectly. I really like this product. Use it every time I clean the tub and shower enclosure.
