hi there,

where have you been using bleach, if on a client premises, then you need to be xtremely careful.

bleach- classifaction as a hazardous chemical,

consequences- HSE love it NOT!!!

insurance companies- love it, because they can get out of paying a claim involving bleach.


answer-- dont use it.

regards

martin

Be a little more specific, what exactly have you turned yellow and what is it made of

It is a Porcelain tub. I turned the walls of the tub and the floor of the tub yellow....Actually the tub is a yellow brown. I pretty much used straight bleach on it....thank you!

Are we talking about a "Bath" tub here? if so then it will not be porcelain, it will be either enamelled or plastic.

If it's turned yellow with the bleach then it is likely to be plastic as enamel is impervious and will not discolour.

Easy way and probably only way to cure it, get a new "tub"

Be careful .... its a jungle out there and there are lots of things that bite!!!
