Last time for Sandy? I was very prepared. I left the water in the tub for a couple days and now my white bathtub is yellow. Did this happen to anyone else? Do you know why? Magic eraser is helping somewhat but slooowly. Please dont move this.

nope... we have sewers not well water, and we aren't in an apartment complex so I don't think we'd be affected.

I heard a long time ago that ketchup is great for taking stains out of tubs. You might want to google how to do it, I think you have to let it sit a while (maybe overnight?) then scrub it off, although I don't completely remember.

i have no idea why but we clean our tub with a magic eraser and a paste of baking soda, dish soap and sometimes vinegar. that should get it out.
