Most effective way to remove stains from fiberglass shower pan?

9 years ago

I have a shower pan that is about 10 years old Manufacturer: Mustee.

The pan has dark large stain areas. Also, it turned cream inside the shower area. Outside facing area is somewhat white.

I tried a couple of cleaning methods, including the typical household cleaners. Most of it useless.

I had most success so far with a combination of white vinegar and mister proper magic eraser. However, it seems there must be a better way.

What are professional using?

Replace it.

Have you bleached it? Plug the drain, dump in a gallon or two, turn on the fan, and leave it for a while.

If that won't work (like the material has actually discolored), it might be replacement time.

Those Magic Erasers are abrasives that actually remove the finish from things. Once that's done, there is no making it look "clean" again. It needs to be replaced.
