bath cleaning question

[ac12]

I have a cleaning question.
I have a few baths that have right angle edges along the bottom and 2 corners, and am having trouble cleaning the brown "stuff" out of the corners. None of my brushes can get into the corners, so they don't get cleaned. How do you guys clean baths with corners like that?

toothbrushes work for me

I also use a tooth brush and I have a baby bottle brush with a small and large end on it.

I've used toothbrushes, but the handle being straight prevents me from getting it into the corners. If I could bend the handle 45 degrees (w/o cracking the handle), that would let me get it into the corners.

Do you have a dishwasher?
If so - have you tried washing them on a high heat setting?
That does the trick for my water tubes - the brown stuff tends to get in the plastic lip bottoms.

I don't leave baths in long enough to get the brown stuff on them but I definitely get it at times on the water tube lips, and the dishwasher gets it off.

When I had 20-30 water tubes to clean at a time I would soak them in Virkon-S and then wash them on the "sanitize" cycle on my dishwasher.. nothing withstood that!!

I don't have a sanitize cycle on the dishwasher in my new apartment but it still gets them clean.

I use a cotton suave (q-tip) it gets into all the corners

I like to use bottle brushes small ones as the bristles are at the end of the brush which gets into every corner.

We have a dishwasher but it has been a few years since we last used it. I don't even know if the seals are still good. For only 2 people we rarely generate enough dirty dishes to run the dishwasher, and my wife does not want to leave the unwashed dishes for a couple days until we get enough to run the dishwashter, so we wash by hand. My wife stores some of her cooking dishes in the dishwasher.

The brushes I have don't have the end bristles. I wish it did, as that would clean the ends of my water tube.

My favorite cleaner is oxiclean for bubbling out dirt in hard to reach places.

Gary I use the old brush we used to clean out baby bottles these seem to have the bristles at the end.

A tobacco pipe cleaner bought from any tobacconist for a couple of $ has worked for me. Soak in diluted bleach 20ml/ltr water between use

You could try using a wood toothpick. A dry point for picking/scraping, and also while wet, either keeping the point or squashing it a bit to make sort of a tiny mop scrub thing.

That's what I do anyway to clean out the nooks, cracks, tight corners, etc of my kitchen appliances.
