My bathtub has yellowish stains on a large chunk of it. The drain wasn't working properly for a while and so the water sat a long time till it drained, thus leaving the bathtub with ugly yellow color all around the drain and then some. Any ideas on how to get it clean and white again? I've tried the homemade solutions of vinegar, baking soda...I've also purchased a spray off of Amazon that smelled so toxic and didn't make a dent. If anyone has any experience on how to remove it I'd love to hear.

Try Soft Scrub with bleach. Let it sit for a while then try scrubbing.

You can also try Barkeeper's Friend.

I've tried Ajax, didn't help.
Didn't think of soft scrub. That'll be the next thing to try. Thanks!
