Enamel bath cleaning
 

Have a new steel/enamel bath that, due to lack of space, has been stored
outdoors awaiting installation, rainwater has pooled in it, with
decomposed leaves etc, so not ideal. I pressure washed the green gunge
off it today but a tidemark stubbornly remained in the bottom, even the
p/w turbo nozzle wouldn't touch it.

Tried a product called 'Cramer Email Star' applied with a damp
microfibre cloth, doesn't need much more than gentle rubbing and then
rinsing off, spotless ... recommended!

angle grinding is cheaper :)

Is there a downside to using this polishing paste? Could it make the
surface too slippery to be safe when stepping in or out of the bath?

Can't see one, although it certainly does contain polishing ingredients,
it felt more like cleaning than polishing to use it, so their claim that
it is matched to enamel's hardness seems true, they do another version
for acrylic baths

Could it make the

Not a problem with this bath, it has sand sprinkled within the enamel
for grip.

I think the German for enamel is Email. :)

Interesting that Star has crept into their language in place of Stern.

Yes I'd expect it to be called something like Gunge Gone.

I've found bleach useful in such circumstances.

I avoided that because previously, I've found bleach made the enamel go
rough.

It seems email (or emaille) is German for enamel and star is German for
gleam.

But you said it has sand embedded in the enamel. Doesn't get much
rougher than that, surely ?.

[bugger clicked too soon]

But that's in a specific pattern on just one part of the bath.

Not on the sides where the tidemark was shurely?
