Fake tan is heinous

I work outside so no matter the time of year, my body parts you can see have some pigment. My legs are glow in the dark right now having not switched back to shorts yet, but they're covered and nobody knows.

G'day all.

So my daughter has been giving our hot tub a fair workout here in Australia, especially leading up to summer when she had a fake tan, and during summer when she, amazingly, also sometimes goes with a fake tan.

Anyhoo, I have been giving my hot tub a deep purge over the past couple of days to rid it of a pseudomonas bug which lab testing found was present. Yesterday I used a product with sulfamic acid and citric acid in it. It seemed to do a good job of removing any biofilms and whatnot and other oils and junk. (First photo).

Then today after emptying and cleaning I refilled and used a product with benzalkonium chloride which didn't foam as much but instantly brought up a lovely brown ring of gunk around the tub. (Photo 2). I have since deduced this is my daughter's fake tan. Inside the filter area it was caked on.

Neither of my kids will shower before getting in the tub which is bad enough, but fake tan is heinous. Fake tan? No tub for you!

Any tips for getting that brown stain off the acrylic tub?

Steve
