I have scrubbed my tiles with a tile cleaner. The chemical run down into the bath tub and stained. I have tried to clean it with the same chemical without any luck

  • What did you use? CLR (calcium, lime and rust) is great. How old is your tub? Sometimes the seal will wear away with age causing the surface to be porous meaning it is easily stained. Your tub may need to be resealed

      Thanks for the advice. The tub is about 35 years old. I will reseal the tub.

    The chemical run down may have damaged the finish. If so, you may need to re-finish your tub. Rustoleum Tub and Tile Refinishing Kit, my be your only possible alternative.
