I have had issues cleaning my tub as well which is a plastic material, I can't replace the tub because I am renter. My husband is a mechanic and brings in so much grease and grim so. So what I tried was mr. clean magic erasers they worked but it took so many to do the job they were to time cosuming and costly, so I tried lime a way no sucess, crl helped some but wasnt quite doing the job, recently i found spray power made by crown it works great and costs about 3 dollars at my local walmart. I do recommend when using to buy a good scrubbing sponge and use hot water to loosen gunk and rise with ofter use.

A very good solution for this problem is to mix juice with baking soda. Once you have mixed this spray it all over the tub and let it sit there for about 15 minutes. Then scub it down. The next step is to mix a little bit of Dawn dish washing liquid and baking soda. Spray this solution to the tub and scrub again. Since the dishwasing is very slippery make sure you rinse very well. If this doesn't work nothing will. Good luck! My recent post Limestone Tiles – Creativity with Unlimited Horizons

Best water spot trick ever… Pour baby oil onto a soft cloth, and rub over the spots. It takes a little scrubbing, but they will come right off, and they will be much slower to return. (Just be careful not to drip any on the floor of the shower.)

We use Shaklee Basic H instead of bubble bath, it's safe, cleans the kids, AND the tub!! Seriously, then after I make sure to rinse it in hot water. I use basic H for everything!! I'm sure I've seen a shaklee link on this site, contact me if you are interested in Shaklee products! malaik114athotmaildotcom
Otherwise, the baking soda and vinegar sounds pretty safe for the environment,and the tub. good luck!

I have a secret, tried and true with my construction worker husband and grimy little boys. After you get the tub clean, take a paper towel and wipe on a coating of Spray N Wash or JetDry onto the sides of the tub. DO NOT do the floor, just the sides or you'll slip and kill yourself.

Tub rings will never stick again! You'll need to redo it once in awhile.

My favorite cleaner for this (and many other applications) is Greased Lightning. Spray it on and you really don't even need to scrub just wipe it around and the ring/soap scum comes off.

the one tip I dont see mentioned is that to make it the EASIEST to clean – take a bath first! (or at the very least – fill the tub up with warm, sudsy water – over the ring area.
This does two things – first – it warms up the gunk – and if we think about it – when oils are warmer they are softer and easier to srub (think about your dishes- dont you soak them first??) and secondly – it also puts some cleaner/soap/detergent onto the problem to help you out.
