Clean your tub the natural way!

I just got an email from my buddy Adam who wanted to pass along a recipe for making your own bathtub cleaner. We have not tested this recipe but thought we should share it with you anyway:

Silky Scrub
1 cup baking soda into a medium-size mixing bowl
1/2 cup castile liquid soap
5-10 drops of antibacterial essential oil, such as lavender, tea tree or rosemary (optional)

1. Pour baking soda into a medium size bowl.
2. Add soap a little at a time, stirring continuously. Stop adding after your mixture has begun to resemble frosting.
3. Mix in drops of essential oil.
4. Store in an airtight jar for up to a year.

can you tell me the differences between acrylic and cast iron tubs? Which is heavier, why does one cost more?, pros and cons. I am in the process to purchase either or but not sure which to choose. I remember growing up in older homes in San Francisco where we always had castiron claw foot tubs....but I need more info before purchasing. Thank you.
