The finished product

When we first moved into our house we had to do alot of deep cleaning cuz the people that lived here before us left it a mess. The worst part was probably the bath tub. For some reason I didn't even realize it looked like that when we did the walk through. Since I was pregnant at the time, Joe had to do all the hard cleaning. He scrubbed it, bleached it, and used lime away several times, but nothing worked. It was just stained. Gross! Normally I would never use a shower that looked that nasty, but I saw all Joes hard work, so I knew it was clean. But I was also embarrassed if anyone were to ever see it. I didn't want people to think that we made like that. Not long after, we were off to Home Depot to see about replacing it. It's one of those tubs that comes attached to the shower walls already. They weren't to extremely expensive, but for some reason we decided to put it off for awhile. Then a few weeks ago we started talking about it again. My sister said she saw on one of those home improvement shows that you can just buy a spray to make it look like new. So off we were again to Home Depot. They had it! It is some sort of epoxy spray. And it was only like $45! Way cheaper than replacing the whole thing! Needless to say, we are very pleased with the results!

This isn't the best picture cuz it kind of looks like you can still see it a little. But its just a shadow. Believe me, we made sure!

When we moved into our house we had to do the same thing. I seriously scrubbed the shower for hours and we had to eventually buy some stain for the tile grout. It was gross, I still want to replace the whole shower!

AWSOME, It seems like you had a "Monk" Day of cleaning.

Wow that is pretty amazing! Cassie you really did look great at the funeral...and I promise I know your name...I felt pretty stupid cuz Dan corrected me like I didn't know your name. So that was awkward! It is warming up so hopefully we will see you soon at some games. I can't wait to see Keelie! I am sure she is so big!

Okay, we need that for our shower! Same situation. No matter how hard I clean, I can't get it off!!! So frustrating. So what is this stuff called so I know what to look for?
