dull bath

[br21]

How do you get the shine back to an acrylic bath. Ive cleaned with the normal products...ciff, mr muscel, nothing with bleach and after I have cleaned it, it just looks dull. It had a lovely clean shine two months ago. What have I done?

You start off by posting in the correct Topic forum!! Try Home & Garden

You can't. It'll have to be repainted or replaced.

Hi br21,
have you tried 'Flash' clean & shine all purpose cleaner yet? I find it leaves a nice shine after cleaning. It says on the back of the bottle ... Dissolves grease & dirt, leaves an intense freshness & brilliant shine. It's a liquid, non abrasive. I have the lemon one.

I am surprised that, your being a member for virtually four years, you have posted in a section which is for suggestions to help the Ed with improving AB.

Anyway to try answering your question....It is my guess that the products which you have used are too abrasive or or even corrosive. You could try Brasso, which will bring a shine back to plastic surfaces.

I saw a tip once on Kim and Aggie. Fill bath with warm water and non biolgical washing powder. Leave for a few hours, empty bath and buff up with a damp cloth. Maybe worth a try ?

Like allovera says, ultimately might need replacing - not as big a job as you might think.

I'm just guessing here but it seems to me if the bath is already dull then it already has minute scratches. Damage done.

It may be possible to fill them with something that doesn't feel horribly greasy when you touch it, but I have to say nothing springs to mind.

I liked Ron's Brasso suggestion. If it can shine brass & chrome to cleam, and remove scratches from CDs, then it may be worth trying. But test in a discreet area first, just in case.

Failing that it's a case of putting up with it. Hardly the end of the world.

If you used cif cream br21, it's a little abrasive & drys dull even with a rinse.
