This spray has a goodly amount of bleach in it. You can smell it when you spray the stuff onto any surface. The bottle is equipped with a spray pump, so no aerosol gas is used- better for the environment.
The actual pump is fairly large so you can use two fingers- if you have a lot of cleaning to do the constant pumping will do a number on your fingers, just working your hand muscles.
There is also a safety catch. The white bottle has a dark blue nozzle on the tip with the words ’on’ and ’off’ etched into alternate sides. The nozzle has to be turned to the ’on’ position, that is with the word ’on’ on top for the pump to spray out any fluid. This is a good feature if you have young curious children around who like to get involved.
Be sure to use gloves or some other protection, because if you don’t you’ll feel the effect immediately on the skin on your hands. The bleach content is high and will dissolve your skin imminently.
The marketing blurb on the back of the bottle states "We Work Hard So you don’t have to!" This product has bleach as its strongest selling feature and it does work hard.
I merely spray it on the mildew that has formed on the seams around the bathtub and let it sit overnight- the next morning the little bubbles have bleached the stuff off and whitened the surface.
It’s particularly good on older enamel because the stains come out easier with scrubbing because of the added bleach. I also spray it on the chrome fixtures and let it sit for a while, then wipe off the soap and other scrungy stuff.
I also use it on my stovetop because some of the foodstuff that dries really sticks. This stuff cuts through it and there isn’t any damage to the enamel as long as you don’t leave it too long. With the enamel top stove it’s best to wipe the solution off right away.
Another great use is in my stainless steal kitchen sink. I spray it on and leave it as long as possible, then come back with a wad of paper towels and wipe. Scrubbing Bubbles cleans it all, but there is always another spray needed because the stainless steal holds the stain.
This stuff is basically sprayable bleach so use plenty of ventilation when you use it, and DO NOT mix with Ammonia, toilet bowl cleaners, rust removers or any other chemicals. You can’t use it on wood either- it’ll take the finish right off and dull the wood if it is unfinished.
I have found it great for a very specific problem living in an apartment in New York City- I have Pigeons that perch and leave droppings on my windowsills. To help with this I spray Scrubbing Bubbles directly onto the windowsill and allow sitting as long as possible, sometimes overnight. Scrubbing Bubbles cleans away all the bird debris and soot from the air.
I come back and spray again and use a brush to scrub- it’s clean! Then I spray another little coating to let sit- the bleachy aroma keeps the Pigeons away, for a while anyway.
There is another version of Scrubbing Bubbles with a scented addition, but I prefer the bleachy smell because it makes me feel that it’s cleaning better. I think the regular version Scrubbing Bubbles a little more than the scented one, but I may be just thinking about it too hard.
The price is okay. I pay $3.99 for the product at my local grocery store. K-Mart probably has it cheaper.
One bottle is 32 fl. Ounces (1 quart), and it lasts me about 3 months when I’m diligent and cleaning regularly. If I wait too long then I’ll use the bottle up in a couple of days.
It’ll work on the bathroom basin, the tub, all the chrome fixtures, and the little enamel toothbrush holder and soap dish. It’ll clean the soap scum off and if you have one of those bathrooms with the tile floor that gets black in between. It’ll clean those really well, but you’ll have to work a little harder.
