Soap Scum-What REALLY Works? - Page 2

Baking Soda and Vinegar will get it sparkling like new. Then just spray with a vinegar/water solution between cleanings to prevent build-up. Cheap, easy, and effective.

I use Dow scrubbing bubbles, but can understand how the fumes get to you. When I was younger we used plain old baking soda and a lot of elbow grease. I actually worked quite well. You may want to give that a try.

I always use an acid cleaner called Q&A... my dad buys it for his company to clean bathrooms with and he gives me a bottle once a year. It works like a charm!

mommmmy · **Action Scrubber from scrubbing Bubbles...**

I just got it today(It is a BZZ Agent campaign-you know where you try a product and tell people about it!)...yes I am a nerd...so I had to try it out right away....LOVE L LOVE LOVE it. I was ready to really scrub, but I guess the way it is made it really did not feel like that much work! I agree about the fumes the other posters mentioned from the original Scrubbing Bubbles and other products, and that was not a problem. It was really funny that it came today as I had just seen it in a store when I was out earlier and was getting anxious for mine to come!! Anyway, it did not foam much on the walls and I was thinking hmmm...this is not good. Then I started on the textured floor and foam was plentiful. I feel like the walls are cleaned nicely even though there was not a lot of foam, so I am a happy camper.
As I just used it I am not sure how long the handle will take to dry out, but am anxious to see that too. I hope I don't have to worry about mold/mildew on that!
Love BZZ Agent, loved the Action Scrubber!!

I am about ready to throw our shower door outside! I have tried just about everything and it's not even coming of a little. Good luck to you!

Because I hate to buylots of cleaning products, I use what I already have which is powdered Purex deteregent and bleach. Along with my scrub brush this gets my tub very very white and clean!

Magic Eraser!
