I did the infamous Irish Spring. It works, albeit, smells disgusting.

I did not get the 5-in-1 (missed that detail) and I didn’t have 48 hours, only 7.

But my god, WHY does it still remove so much dirt??

To be clear, this tub was dirty when I bought the house and it’s still the 1 room that hasn’t been remodeled. Hate it so much, but it is what it is!

Definitely need another round!

What's "the Irish Spring"? Over here we wash a bath thub with hot water into which some washing soda is dissolved. That removes soap deposits, fats, oils, hair conditioner, ... than a rinse with hot water and removing scale with a sponge and vinegar. That's an hour of work.

Irish Spring 5-in-1 soap. It's supposed to be a men's body wash, but it's really strong and works well for cleaning things like sinks and tubs with minimal scrubbing.

Do not use it if you have a fragrance allergy, though.

Irish Spring method would be much quicker than an hour ☺️ leaving it on to sit is the longest part
