Gentle Home Cleaning Soft Scrub

Like the little bit of grit for cleaning the sink and commode in the bathroom.

I love the scent of this & it seems to work well, it has soap in it so it suds a bit. But it is just really pricey as far as powder cleaner is concerned. Have returned to using Bon Ami as a result but will keep an eye out for this on sale.

Love it so much, works so well to clean up messes.

Smells great, and I love how it is all natural, but it does leave behind a trail of white crumbs on my floors after using it to clean my counters.

I live in a suite style dormitory, so a lot of the shared spaces we get are our responsibility to keep clean, namely the bathroom and mini-hallway connecting my suite. The trash room in my building is a bit of a walk, so a lot of people at my school are in the habit of leaving their trash bags in their suite's hallways the night before and taking it out in the morning. I live in a suite with 3 other people and a cat so we tend to do that as we have a lot of trash. One of the consequences of this is that our hallway often gets dirty quick, and since its really not much larger than a closet, it can pick up smells easily. Its the type of stain that I couldn't really get out before without some bleach or other really strong cleaner, but I heard a lot of good things about this one before ordering.

I've only tried the cleaner a couple times, but it really is quite nice! I got the unscented version so I wouldn't have to worry about any scents having an adverse effect on the cat, but even without any scents, the powder smells really nice and clean. I've really only used it on tile, but it works really well! A lot of the scuffs and marks scrubbed out almost immediately, and the more stubborn stains came out with only a couple minutes of scrubbing. Plus, I'm the type of person who usually gets quite ill from the smell of cleaning agents, but using this cleaner, even for longer periods of time, had no adverse effects on me. This is something that is particularly important to me, especially as the dorm I live in doesn't have a lot of air flow, so its nice to not to have to worry about breathing in chemical-ly air while I clean.

The container doesn't specify how much to use when cleaning, but I would say that when it comes to this powder specifically, a little definitely goes a long way. It doesn't take a lot of powder to build up a good lather, though I did notice the powder will take longer to dissolve if you use too much, so I'd definitely reccomend starting small and slowly adding more as needed if its your first time using this cleaner. I just used a scrubbing sponge for cleaning and a towel to wipe off the floor afterwards, and I've found that method worked very well for me!
