Stain on the Bathtub

Question

I found a rather large stain on the side of the bathtub after bathing. Does it render impure?

Answer

The sages did not decree impurity of stains from blood found on an object that does not receive impurity. Therefore, the floor of the house and anything attached to it do not have impurity of stains because they do not receive impurity.
