Any tips on getting hardened soap scum off of a tub?

This soap scum has been in the tub since before we lived here. I've tried everything I can think of on it. I've tried the traditional bathroom cleaners, magic erasers, scrub pads, and a white vinegar and soap concoction that didn't do anything but stink up the place. This stuff seems like it's like granite.

9. That's the product of choice in our hard water hell. But it is NASTY.

Bad fumes, so yep, a respirator is recommended. Good gloves are essential. If you spill a droplet on your skin or your clothes, you might not notice it at first, but you will notice later.

I wear clothes I don't care about, neutralize everything with baking soda when I'm done, and throw the clothes straight in the washer.

The stuff will quickly destroy die cast or stamped metals of the sort frequently used in inexpensive plumbing fixtures.

Honestly, I mostly just live with non-shiny ceramic tiles, porcelain, and fiberglass.

I remember store-bought lime cleaners had phosphoric acid in them, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

Is that because that's what you bought, or because they are filthy??

11. I find the toilet ducks with bleach and for lime scale make a great cleaner for the worst of stains

on sinks and tiles. Gloves necessary. Let it sit a while, it helps when it's a gel.

Do you have Bang with Bleach over there? I don't remember if it's a US product or not, but it's awesome too.

Tubby Tobin LOVES bleach.

12. I ended up using a razor blade.

22. THANK YOU ALL. I appreciate all of the suggestions. We'll see how it goes.
Tried everything else mentioned above, and then some, before finally accepting that a sharp blade was the only way.

Was this a DUmmie trying to clean a tub or working on committing suicide?  You decide.

Douse with gasoline & combine with water.  Light lots of candles & roll a big fat doobie.  Get into the tub.

For DUmmie use only!

Ralph, I'm not sure how familiar you are with Tobin, but I'm pretty sure that last part is impossible.  Get on top of the tub he could probably do, but certainly not in the tub.

Oh lord.   :thatsright:   And this... dummie... is probably the creme of the crop over at the dump as far as earning a living goes.

I swear just when I think I have finally seen the ultimate dumbassery of the dump... it never fails that another dummie steps up to the plate and hits it out of the dumbassery ballpark.

Boggles my mind sometimes how these ****ing idiots can even function.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

Hydrochloric acid should do it. Hopefully he's on the second floor and scrubbing it intently

Bleach and ammonia. Then scrub, scrub, scrub until you think you're gonna pass out. That'll tidy things up rather nicely.

A great episode. Jesse Pinkman disposed of a rival's corpse by putting it in a bathtub and pouring in a couple jugs of hydrofluoric acid.

The acid dissolved the body, then dissolved the bottom of the bathtub, then dissolved the bathroom floor, then the whole mess crashed through the ceiling downstairs.

A monumental cleanup job.

Only because Jesse couldn't find a big enough container at hardware stores to hold the whole dead body.

Classic.
