    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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?

    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.

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

    Don't use on refinished tubs!

    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.
