I am not sure what kind of tub I have but I just cleaned mine.  It had gotten a brown haze around the front and nothing I did was working.  Even bleach sitting on it for hours did nothing.

I finally found an old book about how to clean anything.  For tubs, one recommended getting a piece of sandpaper and rubbing it over the stain which was probably caused by water over the years.  

It worked!  My stain is gone and I have my white tub back.  Once I knew it worked, I scrubbed the whole baby down and then rinsed away the dust.  Like white new.

 @Laura14 - just wondering if you could seal it with like a paste wax or something - something that would repel the water.

@hoosieroriginal  I'm not that knowledgable but it sounds like a great idea.  I am going to google that!

Once clean, use the same kind of paste wax used on new cars.

I'd buy a new one.

How about a solution of hydrogen peroxide and warm water or straight hydrogen peroxide,I read about that before - somewhere, probably online...maybe look into that... one never knows what some of the simplest things can do. I can not remember what the percentage was with warm water or if it was straight hydrogen peroxide... just put it on with a damp sponge and then rinse... I guess maybe it is worth a try...

good luck...

Sorry @Laura14.  I couldn't help myself.  😁

@magicmoodz  Google fixed my waste disposal.  I just had to hunt down a correct size allen wrench.  I give full credit where credit is due.

My new favorite cleaning product is Bio-Clean. I have an older stainless steel sink and a fiberglass laundry tub that it brought back to life. It also has no fumes and is safe on the skin. I have allergies so this is always a plus for me. It is reasonable in price and lasts a long time. Hope you have the same good luck that I did.

Thank all of you for your ideas. I am going to them, one at a time...

I knew you ladies would have good ideas

 I had a dingy fiberglass shower floor.  My husband and I tried many products to no avail. I searched the internet and found a solution.  Don't laugh...no fume easy off oven cleaner.  I sprayed it on, let it sit for awhile...almost forgot about it.  When I returned and washed it off and the stall looked like new.  

We own an apartment building...ever since then when a tenant moves out that's my go to to make the tubs shine.  Good luck.

I'm still shaking my head about the poster who actually is suggesting using sand paper on her fiberglass tub!! Really?? That is a huge no-no with fiberglass. Whew.
