Default Removing stains on an acrylic bath?

My champagne coloured acrylic bath has a couple of dark stains, probably
caused by hair dye. I have tried bleach and other household cleaners
without success. Anything else I could try?

Regards



Thinking about it: don't people treat their hair with peroxide first? In
which case you may find that will bleach your dye stains too. Our 'pound
shop' seems to have surprisingly large amounts of peroxide in all
strengths - some of which I thought were explosive! - next to its range
of hair dyes, so I reckon it would be worth a try.

Brasso's the best thing m8, do the whole bath with some elbow grease,
you'll think
you have a new one


And will it work on plastic spectacle lenses too?

PS: as it happens, the missus had left some shoe dye in the bath, so I put
some peroxide on it. One, it would not wet the dye, and two, even when
scrubbed with it, it did not bleach - but that was shoe dye not hair dye, so
may be OT. Will try the Brasso next.

Cheers,
