Our landlord wants us to get an estimate to have the tub reglazed because during my husband and my 2.5 year tenancy, the tub has "lost its shine". It is a jacuzzi tub and the house was built in the 1970s. The tub might be original to the house. During that time, twice we've had a house cleaner out, and we've used the occasional tub spray cleaner on it. Twice the landlord has come up and cleaned it herself (while we were away at work without notifying us that she was going to do it). We live in the upper unit above the house that she owns and lives in.

We had it cleaned yesterday in preparation for our departure and although it cleaned up very nicely, she said its her property and her hurts her to see the tub this way. I am not joking! I have tried Gel Gloss on it which didn't really help restore its shine. Should we comply and pay for a reglazing?

Additionally, she wants us to have her wood floor refinished as we used Swiffer cleaner on it and not proper wood cleaner. As she said the finish is damaged. To us It looks like a wood floor that has been walked on for 2.5 years.

She holds a 600.00 deposit, but what she is asking us to do will most likely exceed that amount. We are 2 middle aged professionals (in career transition). The landlord is a real estate agent (although I think her license is on inactive status).

Thank you for any objective perspective that can be provided.

On the floor, use a product called Orange Glow Floor Restorer. Clean the floor first with a good wood cleaner and let it dry. I purchase this at Walmart and use it on the hardwood floors between tenants. You may have to make a couple applications. You will need a microfiber pad to apply it and it may take few bottles. But it helps to shine it up and make it look good again.
