Cleaning a worn bath

[Astrid]

We have an old bath here where the enamel has started to wear. I really struggle to keep it looking clean as the lower half tends to look dirty.

I found bleach useful, I diluted it in a spray bottle first. I found it took multiple sprayings, plus the brand I was using was not septic safe. Switched to a septic safe one and it turned the whole bottom of the bath rust orange

We will be getting rid of this house in a few years, so we wont be replacing the bath tub or paying for it to be re-enamelled (well not unless anyone knows a cheap DIY method). So how can I keep it looking clean without hurting our septic system?

try bicarb and vinegar.

Does absolutely nothing on our bath.

Sugar soap???

And lots of elbow grease....

Is shower power septic safe? I used to use that on our bath.

Oh, also, I reckon Jiff or Ajax Cream cleanser is really good. Not sure if it is septic safe but I cant see why not.
