How to purify impure bath tub

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Fatwa.org.au
We have a bath tub made of plastic, in that when our daughter was little we were used to bath her. Sometimes she used to urinate while having bath. We were used to clean her afterwards. Now the question is we want to use that tub again. What is the procedure to make it “pak” or clean again so we ourself can take a bath in that?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2) Wash the tub three times and it will become pure.

في الدر المختار: (و) قدر (بتثليث جفاف) أي: انقطاع تقاطر (في غيره) أي: غير منعصر مما يتشرب النجاسة وإلا فبقلعها ؛
 وفي الشامي: (قوله: وإلا فبقلعها) المناسب فبغسلها؛ لأن الكلام في غير المرئية أي: ما لا يتشرب النجاسة مما لا ينعصر يطهر بالغسل ثلاثا ولو بدفعة بلا تجفيف كالخزف والآجر المستعملين كما مر وكالسيف والمرآة ومثله ما يتشرب فيه شيء قليل كالبدن والنعل كما قدمناه آنفا ( رد المحتار: 1/596 ، دار المعرفة )

And Allah knows best.
