I have a white steel tub that was brown, brown when we moved in

Today I tried to get rid of the stain and was 80% effective just using
plain
vinegar (4.2%). It just dissolved away so I assumed that a product like
CLR
and Lime would finish the job. No such luck. Has anyone had success with
easily available products that will finish my job and get me out of
installing a new tub! Thanks.

How long did you let the CLR/Lime applied?



Not very long. I just really scrubbed it with the CLR. I'll have to fill
the tub to stain line and try a long soak, I'll also have to try the
suggestion to use bleach.
