It's at any nearby big-box store, Lowe's, Home Depot. I just used it to clean my soap scum stained porcelain bathtub from the 1940's. It looks BEAUTIFUL! TSP works to clean all kinds of household stuff. For Porcelain – the tips say that TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) is no longer available – IT IS! It’s at any nearby big-box store, Lowe’s, Home Depot.

I fill the tub a little with hot water, mix in the laundry soap and clean away. NO SCRUBBING required!! My husband works in a factory, and I have never been able to remove the grease so easily!

I bathe every day :) Anyway, if you scrub the tub with Bar Keepers Friend that cleans it well. Then put on a coat or two of Gel-Gloss. It is a cleaner and Polish. It's kind of like putting a coat of wax on it. My gel coat has been eaten away from prior homeowners who obviously didn't know how to care for porcelain. Anyway, it doesn't make my tub look like new but it does bring some shine back. It really is an amazing product. Happy Scrubbing! I didn’t want to have my tub restored because of the quick chipping.

The easiest way for me to clean the tub is a product I found at the Dollar Store. It is from Smart Solutions and it is called "Best Working." By the way, it costs about $1.50. Spray the tub, let it set for a couple minutes and you will be surprised how little elbow grease it takes to clean the rust.

I also advise the pumice stone for really tough stains from calcified water and rust. Old fashioned Borax works great!

I am not sure about fiberglass, but it works like a dream on porcelain. The ‘magic eraser’ type sponges work very well in removing soap scum or anything else off the surface of a porcelain tub.
