Usually I use bleach in the toilet, let sit and brush. For all other surfaces scrubbing bubbles.

Lysol Power Foam Bathroom Cleaner

For many years now. I buy half dozen at a time and keep two in each bath. I'll use Soft Scrub occasionally in one porcelain tub. Bucket of warm water, bit of powdered Spic and Span and a soft brush in one tile shower.

Seventh generation or Dr Bonners - perfume free and work better than the smelly stuff.

Like hallingarden, I make my own: equal amts of dawn, vinegar and water in a squirt bottle. For the toilet I sprinkle baking soda then spray and wait a few miniutes then scrub

That's odd. All I can find is scrubbing bubbles. For the tubs and showers, I liked lysol foaming bleach cleaner. I haven't been able to get it in months. But I recently came across scrubbing bubbles foaming bleach cleaner. It will burn your nose and make your eyes water, but dang it that shower is SPOTLESS! For countertops and such, I like the comet spray or foam. And for toilets,I always use the clorox clinging bleach gel. I haven't has any trouble getting that yet.

Most cleaners, detergents, and bleach are alkaline (pH a greater number than 7). That's part of how they work. Baking soda is also alkaline.

Vinegar is an acid (pH smaller than 7). When used for cleaning or disinfecting, that's how it works.

When you mix an acid with an alkaline substance, they neutralize and counteract each other so that with enough of each, the result is neutral and neither acidic nor alkaline.

Usually I buy Scrubbing Bubbles but for a while it was unavailable anywhere. My other favorite is Chlorox bathroom cleaner without bleach (I don’t use any bleach products). Now it’s whatever I can find. Scrubbing Bubbles was back las time I was looking.

I buy Dollar Tree's version of scrubbing bubbles for the sinks and the outsides of the toilets. For the toilet bowl and the tub/shower, I use Ajax.

A week or so ago, I heard about mixing equal parts white vinegar and Dawn, as mentioned above by a few. And I was shocked. I sprayed the shower doors and the tub and left it for about 10 minutes. Wiped (not scrubbed) with a wet rag and the doors and tub looked and felt awesome!

Vinegar is good at dissolving hard water deposits and soap scum. The two together offset each other, the soap turns the vinegar into water. Try vinegar alone and then wipe it with a Dawn soaked rag.

Elmer, other than cleaning, Dawn keeps the vinegar from just running down/off the surfaces, giving both products time to do their work. I've been told that you don't have to wipe at all, just spray it off with the shower head. I wiped this time, but I think next time I won't.

I'm not sure what you're saying about a shower head but oftentimes the sprayers get clogged or narrowed because of hard water deposits. A quick fix is to tilt the shower head downward so that the face is horizontal, fill a baggie with vinegar, and hang it so that the shower head is immersed in the vinegar. Let it stay there for an hour or more, it will dissolve the hard water deposits. The higher the concentration of vinegar, the faster it will work. No need to use soap or rinse, it's just vinegar. You can wipe off the chome plated surfaces with water if you want.

Or, if you can easily remove and correctly replace the shower head, take it off and put it into a bowl of vinegar.

Vinegar will also de-mineralize a coffee maker. Run it through instead of water. Then run through water to rinse. Sometimes it takes a couple of runs.

Thank you Elmer. I know those things. I was talking about vinegar and Dawn. After I let the vinegar and Dawn sit for a while, I turn on the water and use the shower head to spray everything off the doors and tub, then squeegee.

I've used Dow for years. a few yrs back I switched to the non aerosol bottle. the cans were getting larger and were heavy for my right hand. Both types have been difficult to find around here. I did find a bottle of it a few months back but none since then. a few weeks ago I found the aerosol can at a local grocery and bought it because I didn't know if I'd ever find the other bottle of it again. I paid just under 6.00 for it. My BIL found some this past wkend but I don't know yet if it's the aerosol or plastic bottle of it or how much it cost. I'll find out tomorrow. Either way I have cleaner enough for the near future, but if I see it at either the grocery or W I'll pick up another one in case it disappears from the shelves again.

I'd noticed for a while now (before the covid) that the scrubbing bubbles isn't nearly as good as it once used to be. It was always my GO TO. I'm in search of something better too. I am going to mix up some dawn and vinegar and see if it cleans the white haze that has developed on my tan tile in the shower.

Rubber gloves and a scrubbie. A pumice stone when the scrubbie doesn't cut it.

I used scrubbing bubbles and Clorox for cleaning for years. I have allergy/asthma issues that I have meds for and get shots every 3 weeks. About 18 months ago I started having extreme reactions to them and a lot of other smells/odors/fumes/chemicals. I can't tolerate them, my sinuses go crazy. Now I also use vinegar and Dawn. For laundry stains I used peroxide and Dawn.

I do use IT works bowl cleaner for the toilet. And I can use store bought window cleaner, that's about it.

Norwex cloths. No chemicals used in my household.

Most cleansers (like Ajax) scratch the surface being cleaned, ultimately dulling it. The only cleanser I use is Bon Ami . The can label features a yellow chick and the saying, "Hasn't scratched yet." (For any who don't know, that is a play on words. The cleaner has never scratched a surface, and the chick is too young to have 'scratched' the ground for food.)

I'll be interested to try the Dawn + Vinegar, but...wouldn't the Dawn work just as well on its own, diluted with water? I do use vinegar on glass and fixtures to disolve hard water spots, and to clear spray heads.
