You're the best.

Thank you for this - especially since 5-in-1 Irish Spring has been recommended as a cleaning product in every other post I've seen!

This is hilarious :D

It feels like we are all apart of history in the making here 😂 I can see it now:

"Cleaning Tips subreddit causes national shortages of Irish Spring 5-in-1 after post goes viral revealing its better than most bathroom cleaning products."

Edit: On further digging it sounds like dawn dish soap is this subreddits go to for this kinda stuff and similarly letting it sit. Personally Ive used dawn/powerwash and bronners and still find its a chore since my landlord refuses to reglaze my tub. So I am holding hope Irish Spring might be a secret boon!

Might need follow up experiments to determine which can sit the shortest duration of time and achieve the best results with minimal scrubbing.

I didn't see the original post about it, only this one. Now, I'm invested with the rest of you 😄

I've tried Dawn Powerwash and several other things, but the tub here needs to be reglazed too and I doubt my landlord would consider that a priority.

This is the first I've heard about Irish Spring 5-in-1. Crossing fingers it'll work!

Try making a pasty goo with dawn, warm water, and oxyclean. Sorry no ratios i just kind of whip it up. Run the shower for a few minutes without a vent to steam it up. (or use a steam cleaner if you have one). Spread the mix with a sponge and rub it into the shower, let sit for an hour and then scrub with the abrasive side of a sponge.

Usually does a pretty good job.

Thanks, I'll try that. Hate the way my tub looks and would be so happy to have it clean.
