Default Bath Oil damage

Hi

I have a fibreglass bath and I didn't clean the bath immediately after
having a bath with bath oil and now I cannot shift it.

The oil has left a film that's hard like glue.

I have tried, normal bath cleaners, soaking the bath in hot water, a
steam cleaner, jif (of CIF now), washing up liquid, dishwasher
tablets, washing powder, folex, Mr Muscle kitchen, bathroom and window
cleaner, Stain removers, limescale remover.

I can't think of anything else to try and although it's starting to
get thinner the film is still solid.

Can anyone suggest anything else.

Thanks

Wendy

You could try some more of the same oil. It might dissolve itself. Then wash
away properly with water before it solidifies. That's assuming any solvents
you have lying around won't work.

Contact your supplier and ask for a replacement as the one supplied is not
fit for the purpose of normal bathing.

Unless there was some written or verbal warning that bath oils should not be
used with this particular bath I don't think you will have any difficulty in
getting the bath replaced even if it is more that 12 months old.

Richard. You scrub my back I will scrub yours :-))

Absolute nonsense! No consumer product can have warnings against every
possible misuse.

In any case, I don't believe the oil has damaged the bath, just stained
it. My bath has some pretty horrible limescale stains - does that mean
it's not fit for purpose?

How do you know it's the bath that is defective, and not the oil?
