    I have 3 of them and very hard water to boot! YUK! I clean mine with Zap and it removes that hard water residue good. If you don't have to worry about mineral build-up like I do then all you need is some vinegar and dish soap to get yours clean. Once clean I rinse good then either let dry naturally or dry with a clean towel. * I will share a very good trick with you for helping your tub stay clean longer. Take paste wax (yeah the kind you use on your car) and rub it on your tub and fixtures, left dry then buff it all off just like you would do on your car. It makes your tub shine like brand new and helps keep soap scum and hard water mineral deposits from building up as fast as they would if you didn't wax your tub. I don't notice my tub or shower stall feeling any slicker then normal and I'm in my 60's but I guess it could be slightly slicker and I just don't notice it. Lets face it scrubbing a tub is hard work so if there's a way to keep it looking great longer with less build-up why not do yourself a favor and try it?

      When I had my tub changed, the tech told me to definitely not use Scrubbing Bubbles. He said to use Kaboom, and that's all I've used for the last 8 years.

    My daughter was told to only use Kaboom spray. Anything else would void her warranty. It is sold at Wal-Mart, Lowes..., in Louisiana, where we live.

    Magic Erasers work like a charm, don't take a lot of scrubbing.
