Allan and I got our first apartment and moved in July 11, 2010. When we first moved in, the landlord told us the previous tenant was his nephew.... we could tell.
The refrigerator smelled like who knows what, the freezer smelled like frozen pizza and the inside of the microwave was unrecognizable! Well, that was not all....... we looked at the tub and noticed it was stained.... a lot.
I wish I had a picture of it in it's original state because it honestly looked like it was stained with bleach, ie: spots that were lighter on the base of the shower in the pattern of drips and typical "liquid patterns" if that makes sense.
We weren't concerned, it was just surface appearance right? Wrong. I looked closer at it and it started to look like grime. Well, I went to Target yesterday and picked up some bathroom cleaner that I swear by (Scrubbing bubbles) and decided that if it was indeed dirt, this would surely lift it.
So last night I sprayed some on the base of the tub and grabbed the brush to see if anything would lift, and sure enough.... it did. I spent about 5-10 minutes scrubbing one spot on the tub to assess that it was dirt, and then decided to attack it this morning.
I took a picture of it from this morning before I scrubbed it and after, so that is my photo for today. The before and after of my 1.5 hour scrub session with my bath tub. The bright side... I can now take a bubble bath in it!
This isn't even as clean and I could get it, if you look closely you can see in the some of the corners there is still some scrubbing that needs to happen. Unfortunately, my hands were so jittery from scrubbing so long that I HAD to stop and take a break.
Don't say I didn't warn you!!!
