I have a hideous light blue tub and have the same problem. I have been using the new Kaboom product that is the foam that sprays on blue and then turns white and I have noticed a big difference compared to other cleaning products I have tried.
Shout removes stains from jam, grass stains, coffee stains, ink stains, blood stains, motor oil stains, etc.
Grass stains or food stains.
The process takes minimal effort, on your part, and gives amazing results for the time and effort spent. Do not try this on non-porcelain tubs. Plastic tends to be difficult to remove the paper towels from, and the bleach will begin to eat through the plastic very quickly. Step 1: Simply layer the tub with a roll of paper towel. Laying it out along the bottom and the sides would be the best idea, with a little overlap to ensure complete coverage. Then slowly pour the bleach straight from the bottle, on to the bottom layer of the paper towel. When you notice the bleach climbing the walls of the paper towel covered tub, pause to see where it ends, and make sure there is a vent or window open. Step out for a brief moment while it continues to climb, this will minimize your exposure to the bleach's caustic effects. Once you determine if more is needed continue to pour the bleach on to the dry areas until every part of the tub is saturated with the towel and bleach combination. Step 2: Once you have covered the entire tub, close the bathroom door, and occupy your self in another part of the home. Wait at least an hour to let the bleach strip the porcelain of the stains; however, do not let it go longer than 3 hours, as at that time you will find the paint being stripped as well. Put on a pair of rubber gloves and pull the paper towel from the tub. As you do, the clean shiny tub will be revealed. Continue to pull the paper towel and dispose of it properly, until the tub is empty again. Get your cup and rinse the tub on all sides, thoroughly and wipe down with the cloth, to remove the remainder of the bleach. When the process is complete, the dingy, ring around the tub, stains, and dirt will be lifted to reveal a beautiful tub. Some users have suggested using Borax 12 or Bon Ami. If the tub is very old, it may be made of cast iron and the cracked surface will be the cause of the stains. You cannot improve the look without re-enameling the tub.
Different stains affect clothes in different ways. Dyes stains occur when a dye is absorbed into a piece of fabric. Tannin stains deposit color on top of the clothing. Protein stains have proteins which interact with the fabric. Oil stains resist the water which is used to clean them.

i stored a vinyl hot tub in storage and now it has yellow and black mold stains on it. how do i remove the stains and smell?
I use baking soda to clean my acrylic tub/shower. It gets out a multitude of stains. Maybe it will work on this
Any good quality rust remover can be used for rust removal on many surfices.
No, the tub is a baked on enamel that can't be duplicated outside of the factory. You'll need a new tub.
Many things can cause iron stains on the vinyl siding of a home. The best way to remove these stains is to use tub and tile cleaner and a cloth scouring pad.
For an enameled steel tub, use ZUD or Barkeeper's Friend according to the directions. It should clean up as good as new and get rid of any hard water stains.
I have had really good luck with the mr. clean magic eraser or a spray product called mean green tub and tile cleaner.

To remove newspaper ink from a cast iron tub, you can try using a mixture of baking soda and water to form a paste. Apply the paste to the ink stains, let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub with a soft sponge. You can also try using rubbing alcohol or white vinegar on a cloth to gently wipe away the ink stains.
It would help immensely if you said WHICH glue made the stains. As this was during plumbing, it may have been yellow ABS Glue, in which case your best remover is Whitlam's Glue Wash. -Rub the stains with a rag dipped in this and they should soften and come off -IF it's ABS glue.Next time please -Name your Glue -
I get the best results when I add the detergent to the bottom of the tub, before I put clothes in the machine.
