Reclaiming my Bathtub, with the help of KABOOM!

Billy Mays brought us many spectacular products. The most popular of course being Oxyclean. Oxyclean boasted the cleansing power that surpassed the previous kings of clean, and it held true! Oxyclean flew off the shelves, due in part to the salesmanship of Billy Mays.

Well, he had another product called Kaboom. Boasting the same cleansing abilities but this time in one's bathroom. Toilets, showers, you name it! This product did quite well in sales as well.

Now what does this have to do with my bathtub? When Jonathan and I moved to our current duplex, the tub was not in the best condition. Here is a before picture:

I've always wanted to be able to take a soothing bubble bath after a rough day, but the tub freaked me out. We would clean it and clean it, but the color never changed. Clorox didn't do anything but make small scratches on the surface. After Shower cleaners kept the gunk from getting worse, but didn't make it better. My last try was Kaboom, and it delivered! I sprayed Kaboom, let it sit for about 2 minutes, then I used the rough side of a Scotch sponge to scrub and scrub and scrub all the gunk. It was disgusting, but very rewarding.

Check out the after photo:

This is only after 10 minutes of scrubbing. We are nowhere near done, but the worst is over. I'm looking forward to reclaiming my bathtub!!

Viva la Kaboom!!
