Re: How to remove the yellowing on my bathtub?

Have you considered trying "Iron out"? As I suggested in a previous reply? It works in a dishwasher and a cloths washer! It will not harm the surface of your tub. See below

You may want to consider placing a ultraviolet absorbing clear plastic filter under your skylight - it is cheap and available from most window glass dealers. This will significantly retard - but not prevent the yellowing.

I have a manufactured home with a plastic tub.  I guess it's plastic.
Certainly not ceramic.

I can't find any cleaner that will do a thing to remove this ?stain?.
Anyone know of anything that might help here?

Thanks

I would avoid the suggested aggressive scouring powder suggested. It can damage the tub. However I would consider any of the products recommended for acrylic (plastic) tubs. The original (yellow (not gold) label) BonAmi cleanser can be used as well as an automotive polishing product.

In the end there may not be anything that will help. You may want to consider the suggestion to changes lights and enjoy it.


If the yellowing is caused by iron in your water, try "Iron Out". I use it when our dishes get a yellow tinge to them and also the shower stall tile gets a treatment occasionally. It's easy to use and won't harm the tub surface. Home depot or the grocery store carries the product. Good luck. Chuck B.
