Take the Scotch-Brite Bathroom Challenge

April 27, 2010

Recently Scotch-Brite contacted me to see if I would be willing to give their bathroom cleaning tools a trial run. Well, seeing as I am Bathroom-Cleaning Challenged, I said, “Absolutely.”

I need all the help I can get!

Up until this point, I had been extremely resistant to purchasing any cleaning tools. My arsenal was limited to some random cleaners that I’ve purchased over time and paper towels or rags with the occasional retired kitchen sponge thrown in for good measure. But since I really hate cleaning bathrooms, I was happy to try out a few new bathroom cleaning tools and hopefully get some renewed motivation.

Honestly, some of these tools have me wowed. I especially liked the Non-Scratch Angled Scrubber, the Streak-Free Mirror Cloth, and the Absorbent Counter Cloth.

  • The scrubber really did do what it promised, get that grime out from around the fixtures and behind the faucet.
  • I was able to wash my mirrors simply with vinegar and the mirror cloth, and they just shined. Gonna get me another one, though. I guess we have too many bathrooms and the cloth was wet before I finished my bathrooms.
  • The counter cloth is good for a number of surfaces besides counters and picks up hair like nobody’s business. I hate wiping around the toilets where all that dust just wants to stick. This cloth made it super easy to clean. And to give it a comparison test, I cleaned the next bathroom with regular cleaning rags and these blue guys were the clear winners. I have it on my list to pick up a few more counter cloths so that I can have some strictly for counters and some for cleaning the toilet base and floors. (I don’t like

I really don’t like spending money on cleaning, but I know that the right tools really can make your work pleasurable.

Would you like to win a set of the new Scotch-Brite Bathroom Solutions tools?

Tell us your biggest cleaning challenge in the comments section below.

Giveaway will be open until 8 pm, PST on Sunday, May 2nd. Winner to be chosen at random.

Disclosure: I received the above cleaning tools for review purposes but was not compensated to review them or to post this giveaway. My opinions are my own.

I would love to win this awesome giveaway! My biggest cleaning challenge is probably the day to day stuff. I often have the “I’ll do it in the morning” mentality, and sooner or later (usually sooner) things just pile up!

My biggest challenge is the knobs on the stove. A lot of yuck gets in between there. Ugh.

You know, I have another one, too (cleaning is just a challenge for me!) – the baseboards of the house. They get veerrrry dusty and grimey and I forget all about them untilo it’s far too noticeable!

3 AllieZirkle April 27, 2010 at 2:47 pm

@Jenny Zadnik, We took our baseboards off for a project and two years later, we haven’t put up new ones! I painted floor to ceiling so you can’t tell that there’s something missing. It looks like we planned it that way. :)

I love not having to clean them!

The bathroom offers it own unique challenges! The shower is a bit intimidating and trying to get around and behind the fixtures can be extremely time consuming.

The bathrooms are a challenge for me as well! I lack the motivation to clean them as often as they really need to be done with four kids, one of which is potty training! :)

11 Kate April 27, 2010 at 4:12 am

I too am bathroom challenged… we have 2.5 and I dread cleaning them. They are beautiful rooms (if a bathroom can be beautiful) but the thought of scrubbing them makes me satisfied with leaving them grimy for awhile.

Reply

12 Amanda April 27, 2010 at 4:22 am

Oh…the dread and fear of having to clean the showers/tubs. The bathroom was my “chore” when I was a kid and the 12-year-old brat in me just wants to scream at the top of my lungs, “Nooooo” everytime I have to clean them.

I’m short therefore I need a step stool to clean in the shower.

I try to do sections everyday…but I often forget.

Those tools look really cool. We have a “hair” problem in our bathroom. I just added the cloths to my shopping list.

13 Diane G April 27, 2010 at 4:24 am

My biggest challenge is also the bathroom, the one the “men” in our house mainly use. How they can “miss” the toilet or “junk up” the sink so much is beyond me. Totally gross.

14 Merry Jo April 27, 2010 at 4:28 am

I really don’t like cleaning the bathtub either, but my least favorite chore of all is mopping the kitchen floor. It’s such a big project, moving everything out, etc., because our kitchen, dining room, laundry room, and walk-in pantry are all connected, so I actually have to sweep and mop the equivalent of 4 rooms!

My biggest cleaning challenge is the glass doors in our shower. I have to do it regularly or we have horrible build-up. I could clean it every day and it still wouldn’t look fresh.

My biggest challenge is just keeping the house semi-tidy and free of toys and the kids’ (and husbands) stuff. I feel like I’m always shifting things out of one room and into another. I try the big basket at the end of the day, but it gets so tiring that I usually end up putting a basket on one of the couches, fill it up for a few days then the whole family pitches in to redistribute the items to their own place.

I find that in any room if I am not organized and clutter free I will not clean. I feel like what is the point to have a clean house when you can see all the clutter around you! Obviously bathrooms and vacuuming get done, but I’m not motivated to do more unless I am orgazined first!

We are temporarily renting while my husband finishes up his PhD(our home sold much faster than we were expecting!), and we’re preparing for a cross-country move. My biggest challenge in this rental is (going to be) cleaning the windows–they are the old aluminum storm style, and the landlord hasn’t maintained or cleaned them very well. Lots of crevices and years of built-up grime inside them!

I have several cleaning challenges. I have 3 boys, 2 dogs, and 1 hubby. We have 4 bathrooms to try to keep tidy. 3 boys make for a lot of yucky toilet cleaning if you know what I mean. I also do not enjoy cleaning our big bathtub in the master bath. My arms are not long enough to reach all the way across. I have to get in the tub to clean it. I will check this out before buying our next home. Thanks for the chance to win.

My biggest challenge would be that I run out of time in the day to get it all done. With a 5 month old and a hubby plus working full time there is never enough time in the day. Last week I set my self a limit of 1 hour to get stuff done after my son went to bed. After that it doesn’t matter what’s left. I start heading to bed and relax. Things have been going better since I’ve set a time limit. I’m getting more sleep.

I think that I’m like you and just have not found the right tools. I try to stick with natural cleaners like vinegar, but feel bad about the large amount of paper towel waste at the end of the cleaning (and when I say that I mean the maybe once a year I give in and just do it myself!). I hate to make the hubs do it, but that lack of motivation just takes over every time. So, if I were to win this package it would be not only a win for me but a win for my over worked and over tired husband, too!

My biggest cleaning challenge is the bathroom: cleaning up after 2 boys in the bathroom, one in active potty training with questionable aim and the other truly the hairiest man on the planet. I can’t find the tool to get around the toilet since we put in a vanity so the dust seems to accumulate ever so fast, and no ventilation leaves it damp all the time!
I like vinegar and baking soda for the toilet and my son loves the fizzle effect

My biggest cleaning challenge is definitely keeping the dining room and kitchen floors clean. With a 2-year-old, they are dirty enough to sweep & vacuum ~ heck, even mop ~ every day!

My biggest problem are the sinks, especially the one in my bathroom. No matter what I do there’s this nasty crud around the bottom. I clean and it’s back the next day. Why bother?

What a great giveaway! I struggle with the mirrors in the bathroom. Kiddos just figured out how to bang their toothbrushes when done brushing. = lots of spatter. :) Thanks for the post!

Keeping the floors clean! I have a one year old and she throws food everywhere when she’s eating! Fortunately I try to limit it to the dining room… but little pieces fall off while she’s traveling around.

My biggest challenge in our master bath is the shower stall! The walls are ok to clean but the bottom, I have to get on my knees and reeeeach to scrub it! By the time I get done I am sweaty! The other thing is our garden tub, since I’m a short woman I almost have to just get in it to clean it! lol :) Thank you for this opportunity, I would love to win!

We have hard water. The buildup and residue the water leaves is really problematic in our bath area.

Our way-too-big bathtub we have for our 2 tiny girls ~ what’s that material anyway? Not really fiberglass, but it’s that stuff that gets a ring on it the second it’s been cleaned. I need some good scrubbin’ materials!

My most hated cleaning task is my shower. Half my family uses it, too! It’s crystal-clear glass walls show ever water spot, and I usually end up cleaning it with glass cleaner and an aquarium scrubber, ugh. The cultured marble base takes a scrub brush, and whenever I scrub the tile walls, all this gross brown stuff rinses off. No wonder I put it off until it’s really bad. I’ve usually had a workout by the time it’s done and don’t want to do any more cleaning!!!

259 Emily April 28, 2010 at 6:26 am

I don’t mind decluttering and I’m great at picking up at the end of the day but CLEANING at all I just delay as long as possible. The areas around my faucets are encrusted with lime deposits I haven’t been able to get off, so these tools sound perfect!

260 Mary S April 28, 2010 at 6:40 am

My problem is the tiny strip between the tub and toilet and the strip behind the toilet.Our front bathroom has white linoleum so it get’s gross quick with 3 guy’s using it.For the ladies with big tub’s and shower’s,use a sponge mop to clean them.I spray ours with scrubbing bubbles cleaner(Dollar Tree brand)then use a wet sponge mop to scrub them.No more back aches when cleaning them.

My biggest cleaning challenge is mopping floors – not really so hard to do, it’s just hard to get motivated to do it when you know an hour later the kids and the dog will have tracked over it again.

262 Missie April 28, 2010 at 7:35 am

My biggest issue is my shower stall. The ugly heavy doors that are so hard to clean, and the stained grouty rubbery stuff around it! Ugh! I am in denial and choose to ignore it in hopes the Bathroom Fairy will stop by and take care of it for me.

My biggest challenge is getting the mold of the caulky areas without using chemicals. We try to keep a chemical free home, but unless I clean the tub very often (which NEVER happens), I can’t get the mold build up off without some harsh cleaner!

My biggest cleaning challenge right now is that we are in the middle of rebuilding our bathroom. We had the drain blow out on our bathtub and flood a bedroom. So I am working around painting, leaking pipes and new walls. It’s been an adventure.

My biggest cleaning challenge is the detail cleaning. With 3 kids, and 2 careers, my husband and I barely have time to do the essential cleaning (laundry, dishes, vacuum,etc.). Needless to say, our bathrooms don’t get detail cleaned as often as they should. Any tools to make the job easier would be an absolute blessing! Thanks!

I would say the bathroom is the most difficult but that is because I don’t like to clean it, but once it is done it is the greatest feeling ever.

My biggest challenge is the soap scum that builds up in the shower when I am not looking – hate that, hate to get it off. But also the little things that you can forget about until they are no longer little jobs…like cleaning closets out!

I think my biggest challenge is keeping the bathtub clean. My husband and I both primarily take showers, but my children LOVE to soak in the tub with their soap. SOOO, it leaves alot of soap scum in a ring around the tub. I think my biggest challenge is just keeping up with that.

Thanks SO much for offering!! Good luck to everybody! :)
