Ospho was a disappointment. I sprayed it on heavily twice. Let it set for at least 10 minutes each time. There is a lot of iron in the water which has discolored the tub...I will buy WINK and see if that helps.
If that doesnt do anything I will use the muratic acid again.

Joyce, you're welcome. Hope it works as well for you as it has for me. Glad you have it already and don't have to shell out $$$$. Mine has been so useful, I actually stopped whining about the price and was glad to have it. ANYthing that saves backbreaking scrubbing, right...and that works! Carol
Thank you for your reply Carol.Just yesterday my husband suggested the Ospho that we have in the shop. I just might have to try it :)

JoyceI have found that Lime-A-Way works pretty well, but for your longtime buildup you may need to go heavier duty.I had rust spots on a metal outside door. The mgr at Sherwin Williams told me to prepare for painting using a product they carry called OSPHO by Skyco. It was pricey, but it's 32 oz and lasts and lasts for use elsewhere. I did balk at paying so much, but I still have half of it left and it has been worth every penny. Sorry I don't recall the price. You may find it cheaper online.Getting calcium off the water line in my 3 toilets has been the bane of my existence...well, one of them anyway. I tried the phospho on them and my toilets gleamed like they've been to the dental hygienist. Have also used on bathroom sinks and other rust spots here and there. It has cleaned the messy stuff off my shower doors and side glass.As you might guess from the name, it is phosphoric acid. Sounds like this is the way to go for your longtime buildup. Then maybe you can keep it clean with regular cleaning using CLR or Lime-Away. I think you'll be amazed at how easy the job is when you use the Ospho. And you don't need to worry about using a thickener. Having just come back from an awful plumber bill after overloading my system, I'd be really careful about what goes down the drain.Good luck and keep us posted.Carol
