Vitamin C - What Type and How to Use?

[sl7vk]

Moved from HERE

Works like magic! I have brown stains on steps every year when we open the pool. I dump vitamin c tablets on the steps, let them sit for a little, rub them over the surface with my hands or sock or sponge and wowza! Sparkling white steps! Doing this for 22 years!

May I ask what type of tablets you are using? I am looking at getting some from Walmart but there must be 20 different kinds.
thanks

Just plain old vitamin C tablets. Kind doesn't matter. Buy the cheapest, put them in a sock and start rubbin'

Neither. Pills, the kind that you'd swallow whole.
