My tub would give this ten stars if it could! I changed the servings size from metric to US and my tub has never been cleaner. I have an old, scratched, de-glazed cast iron tub that I could never get clean no matter how much Scrubbing Bubbles I used. This was so less toxic smelling! I made two batches, one with the water and one without (it made a paste that I let sit for about 15 minutes to get out the really bad stains.)Thank you for the money saver too! -
This works like a charm! I used it on my tub and it worked very well. I did add a few drops of orange essential oil to this before using. This one's a keeper!

<p>I live in Montreal, Canada with my husband and two children (boy born in 1998 and girl born 2000). No, we weren't going for a Y2K baby, she was born in August :-) I love to cook but I hate decidng what to make. I'm just starting to plan my meals in advance and am finding it a real challenge. I love the fact that real people review these recipes and add their own hints and tips. <br /> <br />My son has recently (Sept 8, 2003)started the ketogenic diet for his epilepsy so I'm learning how to disguise cream and oil and how to make miniscule portions look bigger. It's an interesting challenge. As of Februaury 27, 2004 there has been no improvement in my son's seizures so we have have decided to stop the diet. We have to stop the diet gradually though so it will be about two months before he can eat regular food again. There is one more medication we can try and after that our last option is a VNS (vagal nerve stimulator). It is similar to a pacemaker but for the vagal nerve in your neck instead of for the heart. Wish us luck! <br />Update Feb 2005- Well, my son had the vns implanted in June 2004 and it hasn't stopped the seizures but it did make them shorter (30-45 seconds instead of 2 to 2 1/2 minutes). His doctors plan to increase the setting until we see more results or the side-effects get too annoying.</p>
