Banish Stubborn Bathtub Stains With This 100-Year-Old Cleaner
By JACQUELINE DELIBES
Instead of reaching for a potentially toxic cleaning product to rid yourself of stubborn bathtub stains, try a gentle cleaner like old-fashioned, yet totally effective Bon Ami.
This powder has no chlorine or phosphorus, both toxic to humans and environmentally damaging. Instead, it’s made with feldspar and limestone and uses baking soda to lift stains.
Grab a mug, measure ½ cup of water to start, and add 2 tablespoons of Bon Ami. Create a paste with a texture similar to toothpaste and apply it to the stains, enough to cover them.
Run the shower for a few seconds to moisten the bathtub, then allow the paste to sit for at least 30 minutes. Use a soft scrub brush or a sponge to rub the area before rinsing.
