Best way to clean a porcelain bath tub?
Question:I have recently moved and the tub where I am is very dirty. I have tried bleach - which worked great on the mildew. However, the rust, lime, and the dirt on the bottom (where you stand) won't disappear.
I am renting so I do not have the option of putting a new tub in.
If you know of any other cleaning options, please let me know.

Bathtub Stain Removal
It's a sad fact of life. Bathtubs can take on stains, mostly caused by mineral build up from hard water. No one who handles bathroom cleaning should have to contend with bathtub stains. If you do find yourself with this problem keep this bathroom cleaning tip in mind: Use Borax for removing hard water stains.Just sprinkle some onto the offending area, let sit for a few minutes, and wipe with a damp sponge.=)
I have found the best thing to use on porcelain sinks and tubs is "Barkeepers Friend" which is pretty much like Ajax. You sprinkle it on and work into a paste with a damp paper towel then rub until the stain is gone. Takes lots of rubbing.
Good luck!
Believe it or not, spray it with a grease cleaner works for the toughest stains, l a product like grease lightning. Once the tough stain is cleaned you can use a daily touch up so it doesn't get bad again. Keep a bottle of Lysol mildew remover in the bathroom and spray it on after every time you shower.
Try CLR. that is calcium,lime and rust remover.
