Best product to clean old enamel bath??
« on: April 28, 2010, 06:12:26 pm »
Hi all

 I am going to be doing a one-off clean in a 3 bed semi soon and the bathroom is the orignal one when the house was built around 1940-50's and in all fairness has obviously seen better days.  The bath is badly marked and very dirty and the sink is the same, does anyone have a "wonder" product they know about that could bring it up reasonably well?

Many thanks guys

Nat ???

Hi

Harpic limescale remover £1.49 at Tesco.

Squirt over, scrub in with a green scourer and rinse off, should come up a treat. May need extra treatment on the tide mark areas.

If not then Bar keepers friend, sprinkle on, scourer in and leave for 1 min and rinse off, may need another treatment.

Thanks Martin, I seem to remember you recommending biological powder in previous posts, as a good degreaser for "grease" have very greasy kitchen cupboards to do as well?

Out of interest what would you charge for a 3bed semi, completely empty, 2 reception rooms, small kitchen, bathroom & seperate loo, basically skirtings, internal doors to wash down, internal windows, vacuuming through-out, high level dusting???


Cheers again

Hi

Don't use the powder, it leaves a residue, always use liquid, 1/2-1 capful per 500ml trigger spray.

You are probably looking at 5-7 hours work (man hours), so without carpets i would say £180-220 depenjding on where in the Uk you are.

Iam doing a minging 1 bed flat tomorrow (photo op) and I am charging

clean £190
Carpets £140
Re seal bath £35

It is bogging though and furnished. Looking at around 6-8 bin bags of rubbish.
