The reverse of a question I asked on here a while ago.

Mr Clean magic bathroom erasers. Holy shit. They literally melted the soap scum from my bathtub when every other tile cleaner did next to nothing. I was completely blown away.

This 100%. Here's a life pro tip: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is the trademarked brand. The generic product (which is exactly the same thing) is "melamine sponge".

Depending on where you live, the Magic Eraser is an 4-5X more expensive than the equivalent generic on Amazon or eBay.

This was a very pro tip

I bought like 300 off Amazon 10 years ago for something like 30 bucks. They arrived in a large (like 55 gallon) black garbage bag. We still haven't used them to this day.

Edit: I had to go look, looks like I wasn't quite right, was 100 for 11 bucks, and was only in 2017.

Dude, foaming oven cleaner is similar. If you have a jacked up oven, get the foaming stuff and you'll have a nearly brand new oven.

edit: oops, misread the parent post as the scrubbing bubble cleaner. going thru a colonoscopy prep, so im all funky. the foaming oven cleaner is good af tho. also, get melamine sponges. theyre the same thing as the magic sponges but much more cost efficient.

PSA to carefully read and follow all usage directions on any oven cleaner product. Some of that stuff can destroy your lungs (and more) if not used properly.

Good luck with your colonoscopy. The prep is fucking miserable, but it's definitely worth it in the end.

(Don't use foaming oven cleaner for that.)

Thanks! Everything went smoothly. I must've been funny under anesthesia because the nurses were looking at me funny when I came back to reality. I hope I didn't embarrass myself 😬

I feel like no matter what happened, the chances are pretty low you'll ever be the weirdest thing a bunch of professional butthole-looking specialists have ever experienced on the job.

Congrats on being done with it!
