Clean Your Porcelain Bathtub

 

If the tub is older, it is probably porcelain on cast iron. Newer fixtures are probably porcelain on steel. Porcelain tubs are best cleaned with a nonabrasive powder or liquid cleanser. Several commercial cleansers are available. The text below is from the manufacturers web sites.

Bon Ami Polishing Cleanser: "Recommended by major plumbing fixture, appliance and cookware manufacturers because it cleans without scratching. Bon Ami Polishing Cleanser is made from calcite & feldspar mineral abrasives, and biodegradable detergent. It does not contain chlorine, perfume, or dye. Bon Ami Polishing Cleanser is offered in supermarkets, small grocery stores, mass merchandisers, and many other stores.

"To clean large washable surfaces such as kitchen sinks, stoves, counter tops, bath tubs and showers, sprinkle Bon Ami on the area to be cleaned and rub with a very wet cloth and wipe dry to a gleaming finish. Because there is no harmful residue from Bon Ami, it is safer to use around your family and pets."
