Better Living Thru Chemistry

Arm & Hammer "Clean Shower".

The label sez "Just spray and walk away" and that's what I do!

I have a little... issue... with cleanliness. (ask Trek. I got to her house last month and promptly cleaned her kitchen. I did her car the month before.) Anyway, this stuff really works! You take yer shower and then spray the walls/tub/curtain, and no cooties grow! I've been using it for a month now, and my shower still looks spic-n-span! (I haven't actually scrubbed my shower in all that time.)

Gives me more time for biking.

have you tried, or know anyone that has, that automatic shower cleaner thing? i keep seeing the commercials on tv.

I haven't tried it, but imagine it uses the same stuff I'm using now. But I am quite capable of spraying my own shower, and I can aim the spray exactly where I want it. (not that I'm a control freak or anything!) The automatic sprayer is a cool idea, but I'd rather just spray the thing myself.

Knotty, you can come over to my house any time you want to. :p

My mom and all of her friends have them and think they're wonderful.

I'm not a fan of using chemicals unless I absolutely have to so I just squeegee the shower walls or wipe them with some bleach and water once in a while...my mom thinks I'm nuts. ;)

When I saw the title of this thread I burst out laughing.

There's a 'better living through chemistry' line for Mr. East Hill, and that's all I'm going to say.

My own 'better living through chemistry' is Imitrex.

:D

East Hill

Knot, after you are done with Hip's house, please come over to mine. I'll feed you well.

I read the subject line and immediately thought of DH as he is a chemist and this phrase is uttered often. :rolleyes:

I have not seen this product, but I shall be heading out for it today!

Knot, have I mentioned you are welcome to come over anytime? :D

I'll bake chocolate chips cookies for the person who will come over and clean my bathrooms :D .

So... the question is: what *are* the chemicals?

I need some of that stuff. Do you have to use it every day? I had some spray that you are supposed to spray everytime you have a shower. I just don't do it.

I use it everyday. My apt is in the basement and keeping the damp bathroom from going all slimey-moldy is a real challenge.

For more info: www.cleanshower.com is what it says on the bottle. I haven't had the courage to go to the website and look. I'm sure it's bad for me, but probably not as bad as the cavicide I darn near bathe in at work.

baking soda and hydrogen peroxide is the BEST toothpaste - tastes awful, works like nothing else.
If I ever clean my bathroom, I may try it there, too.:p

Claims that water, surfactant, EDTA and fragrance are the ingredients.

Don't use on refinished tubs!

East Hill

OOOps! Too late!

I guess that's why the floor of the tub is looking a little funny. (but it's very clean!)

Guess I won't be buying more of that.... darn.

I like that and the Mr. Clean shower thing. The Mr. Clean shower thing is quick enough (just press a button) that DH will actually do it. I use the other spray for the bottom areas of the shower that the Mr. Clean thing doesn't reach. I love these products....I'm a Neat Freak (yes that is a capital N and F), but found that I hate cleaning showers.

My BIL directed the commercials for that stuff. He said he wasn't sure that it worked all that well and that he figured the company planned on making all it's money on the novelty of the product.

He also said he had a lot of fun casting the commercial. If you remember, all the maids are Eastern European looking types, one tall, one squatt... he said that with all the current political correctness that the only people you could make a little fun with now were Eastern Europeans. I suppose it's probably true.
