Wildcrafter	Posted - Apr 20 2011 : 07:15:08 AM A couple of years ago, I moved into a house with a tub that stayed dirty looking no matter what kind of cleanser was used: comet, soap, soaking bleach water...nothing worked. It was suggested to me to fill the tub, put in a half cup of citric acid, let it sit overnight, drain the tub and scrub. I did that about a year ago. Clean tub! White, white white. And it has never gone back to the dingy mess it used to be. ---------------------------------------------------------- www.goodnaturedearthling.com Cedar Mountain Herb School http://goodnaturedearthling.wordpress.com/ Become a fan! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Good-Natured-Earthling/85786527923
