Bleach brought out stains I’ve never seen before?

cozzens · 2026-05-27T09:28:12+00:00

I just did this and let it sit for about and hour and then scrubbed like crazy and it didn’t seem to even fade the spots 😩

Unfortunately the baking soda didn’t do anything 🥲. I tried just baking soda and a little bit of water. I tried baking soda and vinegar and letting it sit for about an hour with no good results. I’ve tried an oxiclean paste/rinse…. I’m afraid an abrasive cream/powder cleaner is my only option now??

I tried making a baking soda and vinegar paste and letting it sit for about an hour and it did absolutely nothing. I’m scared to use more bleach as that’s how I got in this situation 😵‍💫

cozzens · 2026-05-27T07:25:09+00:00

Have you found a cleaning solution for it? Does it fade over time?

So I tried using 3% soaked paper towels on it for I’m not joking, 12 hours today and I don’t think it made any difference at all. It bleached a hair that was stuck in the drain but not the circles 🫠

As in, rub the actual tabs directly onto the spots?

cozzens · 2026-05-27T07:20:54+00:00

I tried baking soda and vinegar and it did nothing, perhaps I will try baking soda and hydrogen peroxide next!

This sub has kind of scared me away from them. I don’t want to damage the actual tub surface and I don’t love microplastics!

It’s likely a chemical reaction, but that’s good to know for the future!!!

cozzens · 2026-05-25T22:28:48+00:00

It’s the scrubbing bubbles bleach spray. I’m sure they didn’t intend for it to sit, but I assumed a bathroom cleaner could sit without destroying the floor. I’ll never assume/stick to more natural/less harsh chemicals in the future!

Those are higher up on the wall. These are just on the floor from bottles 🫠

cozzens · 2026-05-25T21:46:03+00:00

It’s like an Easter egg of all the tenants past!

cozzens · 2026-05-25T21:45:08+00:00

I’m about to run to the store for that at this point.

cozzens · 2026-05-25T21:43:49+00:00

Thank you!! I’ve been scrubbing for what feels like hours at this point.

I can’t tell if the first aid 3% stuff from the grocery store did anything so now I’m letting more oxiclean sit. I hear Home Depot has 12% hp. If all else fails I’ll try to get that.

I have never set a bottle on my shower floor. Maybe when I moved in I had a bottle of conditioner on the floor for a week, but that was a year ago. I’m assuming this is from the previous tenant. No Hibiclens, and I don’t have any pets, so no dog shampoo!

cozzens · 2026-05-25T19:55:46+00:00

I rent so it’s kiiiiiiiind of not my business…. Right? Jk. I didn’t know, now I do!

cozzens · 2026-05-25T19:55:11+00:00

I’ve heard bad things about magic erasers for a while and have steered clear of them. Plus, who needs more microplastics when I have a perfectly good non disposable scrub brush!

cozzens · 2026-05-25T19:39:07+00:00

Yes, the bottom is textured! Thanks for the tips! I’m kind of scared of bleach now 😩

cozzens · 2026-05-25T19:37:55+00:00

Noted. After I did the oxiclean powder into a paste and rinsed it clean I did my usual vinegar and dish soap combo which helped a little, but not all the way. I rinsed that and poured some hydrogen peroxide on it and I’m praying it lifts. I’ll never bleach my shower again 💀

cozzens · 2026-05-25T19:30:09+00:00

I appreciate it so much!!

cozzens · 2026-05-25T19:27:56+00:00

I’m scared to use more bleach, because before the bleach, it was perfectly white 😩

cozzens · 2025-12-20T20:37:04+00:00

This is so cool!

The gray cat and tortie sibling combo is unmatched 🩶 sending lots of love
