What is your tub made out of?
I'm trying to pick out our new tub
I've seen porcelain-enameled steel and poly-composite. Which is better? Pros/cons of each?

I have cast iron. I think its the best.
I'm not sure what poly composite is, is that fiberglass?

Ours is cast iron. We bought it about 20 years ago, and is still in perfect condition. We completely redid the bathroom about a year ago, replaced everything except the tub, and it still looks great.

I just got the Kohler Archer 5ft soaking tub about two years ago. I think it is made of acrylic. The old cast iron tub the previous owners of our house had was GROSS. I am loving my new tub!!!

Fiberglass. No need to get cast iron these days.

We have this too, and although it is beautiful, I feel that I cannot scrub it the way I could my former cast iron one.

I agree-- i need to use brillo pad to get it sparkling clean. but i thought that was bc i have TERRIBLE hard water, and it leaves stains on everything.
