I am so losing crunchy points for this

This is long, sordid tale.

Over two years ago we moved into this apartment. It was cleaned thoroughly before we moved in, but when I saw the bathtub, I was appalled. It was disgusting, so I set to work cleaning it with good old elbow grease and bleach cleaner. Well, elbow grease and bleach cleaner did nothing. Over the past two years, I've employed elbow grease with a host of other cleaners, CLR, The Works, Scrubbing Bubbles, Magic Erasers, powdered dish washing detergent, etc. I must have tried everything in the cleaning aisle, including some "crunchy" cleaners like vinegar and baking soda. Nothing worked 100%. Nothing. Until today when I tried a different cleaner. One recommended by a message board buddy.

I wet the tub and sprinkled it on, and I let it sit for about one minute as the directions indicated. I then got out my handy (and much worn) tub scrubber and set to work. I scrubbed. Oh, did I scrub. And through the white cleaner, I could set dirt (or whatever the heck it is) melt away. And now I am hooked. Here and forever, I will sing the praises of Barkeeper's friend to all and sundry who need a good household cleaner. I don't know what is in that stuff, nor do I want to know. I will happily bury my head in the sand, because now, finally, after two years, three months, and some odd days, my bath tub is pristine white. And the angels sang the Alleluia chorus and sun shined beamed upon my countenance for it is good.
