green mark on tub surface
i got this green mark on a harvest gold bathtub.... the tub is in
perfect shape and looks really nice, but it seems the copper or brass inside the fixtures must be oxidizing and leaving a deposit right where the water faucet lets the water hit the bottom of the tub... Question: what can i do to get rid of this green copper oxidation stain??? i dont want to use anything too strrong on the tub as its in real nice shape... |

Try Limeout first. It shouldn't attack the porcelain, and may remove the
copper salts.

But be careful if this is a fiberglass tub (rather than porcelain).

Come on... No one is that excited about the condition of their 'harvest gold' bath tub. Harvest gold went out with shag carpet and the Ford Pinto.

I have a 25-year-old Amana refrigerator/freezer. The color gives it away, but it works great. I have not had any repairs in all that time (and even the ice maker works fine). I hope it keeps on tickin! MaryL |
