We have a nasty tub in our apartment that looks like someone threw up in the tub and never cleaned it out (there's stains that are rough and won't come up...*blech*) anyway, I'm getting tired of scrubbing that area daily to keep the mildew/mold out of that area. I clean it with Comet (contains bleach) but the darn stuff keeps coming back!
We have a fan in our bathroom which runs constantly, but it's not helping. I leave the door open, the fan on, the shower curtain open as much as possible, but the darn bathroom never dries out! The mold/mildew only grows in that area where there's the rough part (I'm pretty sure the enamel is gone there, but I'm obviously not an expert), I don't want it to take over my bathroom, but I can't keep scrubbing it everyday because I'm running out of time to do it.
And motivation too, I'll admit.
I scrub it before I shower in the mornings, and by the time my hubby showers at night it's already starting to come back, and it's in it's fully glory by the time I get ready to shower again in the morning. It's black, nasty, and starting to get under the caulking around the tub as well (can't recaulk though, it's the only tub/shower we have and can't wait for it to dry.)
Does someone know something else I can do? I've even tried drying the tub with a towel, but our place holds humidity so well that it doesn't seem to make any difference.
