Woman 'embarrassed' by stubborn bath stains finds £1 trick to melt them away

If your bathtub is covered in stubborn stains that just won't budge, then you're in luck. A house-proud woman battling the same problem took to social media, and Mrs Hinch fans reckon they know the answer.

Offering advice to the woman, who has been feeling 'embarrassed' about the state of her tub, people were quick to recommend a £1 solution, according to the Express.

What's more, cleaning gurus said the trick works instantly. So it's cheap, effective, and fast-acting - all of which should be a great help to the homeowner in need. Posting on Facebook group, Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips and Tricks, she explained: "I've moved into an old house and can't afford a new bathroom yet.

"No matter how much I deep clean this bath I cannot get rid of these stains. Any ideas?"

She added: "Have tried every limescale cleaning product and the 2p trick but this just scratches the bath. I'm so embarrassed people think my bath is dirty but I don't know what else to do?"

Fortunately, the group's gurus reckon they've got just the answer: toilet cleaner. One person replied: "Black Harpic is amazing at getting stubborn stains off. We moved into a house with a water-stained bath and were not allowed to replace the bathtub and I was told to use Harpic.

"I squirted it all around the bath and used a sponge to wipe it off, stains had gone instantly. I do this once a week now."

Someone else said: "Black Harpic is fabulous for limescale and works better than bleach."

"Black Harpic is good. Add it to the area and you should see the stain disappear straight away," a third agreed.

Another suggested: "The black Harpic loo cleaner is pretty good for getting an old bath clean."

Harpic Power Plus, which is designed for use as toilet cleaner is available for £1 in Poundland and £1.25 in Wilko. Customers are advised to wash their hands thoroughly after use, as per the product's safety information.
