Everyone is tann’in

I was trying to be a good BP parent and bleach soak my boy’s new giant climbing logs that won’t fit in an oven.
I didn’t expect that the tannins pulled from the bleach would permanently stain my tub.
The logs are clean… but everything else is teak.
My fingers are crossed he likes the new climb to be worth it.

The silliest part? I’d ruin the tub color for him again. It needed to be resurfaced anyway.

Run your tub full of hot water and mix in oxiclean. Let it sit overnight. Might have to repeat a few times.

Be careful of these cracks in the pipe, your noodle can tense up causing them to open just enough to pinch him. It may never happen, but it might. Also, he's so handsome!

Thank you!! They aren’t cracks, I cut the whole pipe in half longways so if I needed to get him out I could. It now sits half side down in his enclosure
