I would like to start out by admitting I really haven’t cleaned a bathroom since I got married. It just fell under one of those things that my husband did, because he did more once a week things and I did more daily things. His choice had been to use those disposable toilet cleaners with the little wand — the ones you toss after you use them? Yes, you see the problem right there! With my new committment to disposing of less, and being 500 miles away from my husband, I had to not only find a new way to clean the bathroom but I also had to actually do.it.myself. (Ack! The horror!) These are the products I took for a test drive, along with my results:
biokleen Foaming Action BAC-OUT Stain & Odor Eliminator I sprayed the inside of the toilet walls with this, let it sit, and gave it a light scrub with the brush. Nearly perfect, and a great fresh lime smell. I know that biokleen makes a product that is specific to cleaning toilets, but why buy multiple bottles if you can get one product that has multiple uses? (The oxygen bleach below is the same way — tons of uses.)
biokleen Oxygen Bleach Plus I sprinkled a bit of this inside the toilet water and inside the upper toilet tank, swishing it around with the brush to mix. Flushed, and magic! No more water stains. It also works great on floors and carpet stains.
biokleen BAC-OUT Bathroom Cleaner and Clorox Green Works Natural Glass & Surface Cleaner I went head to head with these two on the vanity, bathroom mirror, faucet and sink. Both left a streak-free shine and came clean out of the rags I used when I washed them. So the winner goes to the biokleen because the Clorox product smells like cheap imitation Ivory soap and the biokleen gives everything a delicious lavendar-lime smell—fresh but not perfumey which is important to me with the kids and with my bathroom being inside the master bedroom.
