My tub has literal pores and now they are clogged with papaya soap and toilet cleaner chemical burns. SOS. 💀
LOL lesson learned the hard way. Do NOT use papaya bar soap to wash your body, and definitely do NOT use toilet bowl cleaner on your bathtub (even though it looks immaculately clean for like, five seconds).
Right now, I am dealing with a two-part biological and chemical warfare disaster in my bathroom:
The Papaya Paste: Caked-on papaya soap scum that feels absolute cemented to the surface.
The Chemical Streaks: Ugly, etched-looking streaks left behind from my last toilet bowl cleaner experiment.
Here is the kicker: my bathtub does not have a smooth, forgiving acrylic finish. It has that textured, bumpy, open-pore situation going on. Every single little pore is currently holding onto this orange soap for dear life, and the toilet cleaner streaks are deeply embedded.
Help a chaotic cleaner out! What products, DIY potions, or industrial-grade scrubbing methods actually work for a textured tub without melting it completely into the floor?
Send help (and heavy duty scrubbing tips). 🙏
