What about a white tooth paste? Rub it on pretty thick, leave it sit overnight & use a nylon sink scrubby the next day or even an old toothbrush! GOOD LUCK!!!!!
Is this a porcelain tub? What did the tub refinishers say? What I am thinking is that you had the tub reglazed, and even though safe to use, it still was not fully cured and the mat stained the finish. Here is a link, see if the lemon method works. Please keep us posted as now I am curious to find out what works. I have had a lot of tubs and sinks reglazed, but have never had this problem . . .yet.
I had the same problem. I used this product called The Works and it totally lived up to its name. Failing that, I would use Heavy Duty Easy Off.
Easy Off No Fume Oven Cleaner in the BLUE can. Spray it on and let it sit till it liquefies. Rinse. Works on enamel, porcelain, and fiberglass.
If all else fails, - Put the mat back and forget the stain is there........
Bar Keepers Friend spray ( I have found it at Menards) and a magic Erasers! Just spray the Bar Keepers Friend on the stain, and wipe away with the magic eraser!
If all else fails, and the tub is white you can go over to hardware store like Home Depot and get a can of white appliance paint in a spray can. Spray very very lightly from way up above and then leave it alone .it will dry shiny and will take abuse like a stove or refrigerator would. The paint cost about four dollars and you can see what happens
I just had the same thing happen to me! I had our bathtub reglazed, and 3 weeks after it was reglazed I put a rubber mat in the tub. (So I know it had nothing to do with the paint not being set or finished. The whole area where the mat was sitting turned yellow! I'm horrified and nothing I've tried has worked either. Dixie have you found a solution yet??
My tub turned yellow as well? I didn’t place a mat or anything on it! It was reglazed about a month ago, and a small splotch of what I thought was dirt slowly expanded throughout the whole tub and turned the shiny white into a dull matte yellow. Nothing I’ve done gets rid of this discoloration/brings back the shine. Does this mean it was refinished poorly? To make it worse, I used a toner shampoo in my hair that now caused some parts of the tub to be stained blue. Toothpaste, rubbing alcohol, dish soap, nail polish remover, buffing cream etc won’t get rid of the faint blue. So now it’s an awful buttercream tub with blue bits?! I want to die
Help please...I used barkeepers friend in my bathtub now it's all stained a yucky brown. I scrubbed it to a perfect white and I woke up this morning and its brown now.,I've tried vim and old Dutch and neither worked, my kids will nite shower in there until it's white again...what did I do? How do I fix that
OMG. I've had my tub reglazed and then reglazed again once. I have brownish marks from where I lay in the bath. I've tried everything, Comet (they say nothing abrasive but had to try) seemed to dull it a bit. I do NOT want them to come out again. The chemicals they use to glaze are so toxic smelling. The company couldn't even remove it that is why I had it reglazed once again. I can't imagine why my skin would discolor the tub while taking a bath - thought it might be my skin lotion. I was going to buy a mat but after reading the above, I'm glad I didn't.
I tried everything and bleach wouldn’t touch it. After it started peeling from using abrasives I had used because I was tired of my nicely glazed tub looking so bad, I finally tried the Magic Erase and IT WORKED!! I wish I would of learned this before the peeling began. Now my tub looks soo much better other than the one spot.
