Scrubbing Bubbles® Daily Shower Cleaner Power Sprayer Review


While browsing the cleaning supplies aisle on a recent shopping trip to Target, I came across Scrubbing Bubbles® Daily Shower Cleaner Power Sprayer. I read the back of the bottle and decided to give it a shot.

From their website you can learn the following about the product:

The benefits of Scrubbing Bubbles® Daily Shower Cleaner Power Sprayer:

Works on most shower and tub surfaces, including fiberglass, acrylic and plastic, and on plastic or synthetic shower curtains, though it may lighten fabric such as cottons. Scrubbing Bubbles® Daily Shower Cleaner Power Sprayer is also safe on all bath-care products like shampoo, soap and bath sponges.

DO NOT USE on brass, natural marble or finished wood surfaces.

Directions for use: Before showering, run water in the shower/tub area to rinse floor surface. Always stand on a non-slip surface when in shower or tub.

o Remove clear tab from white lock switch. Place switch in the unlocked position.
o Immediately after showering, squeeze and hold trigger to spray all wet surfaces including the curtain or door. Lightly spray 8–12 inches from surface to cover evenly.

HELPFUL HINTS: For best results, start with a clean shower. Use daily to prevent the buildup of soap scum and mold & mildew stains.

To keep your shower clean, continue to use daily after the last shower of the day.

Frequently asked questions:
1. What are the Scrubbing Bubbles® Power Sprayers?
The Scrubbing Bubbles® Power Sprayers are bathroom and shower cleaners with a battery-operated ergonomic trigger that releases a continuous, evenly dispersed spray by simply holding down the trigger. The Power Sprayers are available as Scrubbing Bubbles® Extend-A-Clean™ Power Sprayer and Scrubbing Bubbles® Daily Shower Cleaner Power Sprayer.

Scrubbing Bubbles® Daily Shower Cleaner Power Sprayer is a patented formula that, when used daily, cleans a dirty shower in 14-21 days and keeps a clean shower clean from day one.

2. How do I use the Scrubbing Bubbles® Power Sprayers?
The Power Sprayers are purchased with a clear tab securing the safety lock in the lock position. Remove the clear tab from the white lock switch and discard. Place the switch in the unlock position. Squeeze and hold the trigger for continuous spray.

When using the Scrubbing Bubbles® Daily Shower Cleaner Power Sprayer, lightly spray the surface, covering evenly. No need to wipe or rinse.

3. What differentiates this product from traditional triggers?
With manual triggers, consumers have to “pull” the trigger several times to cover the surface and the result is splotchy, uneven coverage. The Power Sprayers deliver broad, even coverage on bathroom surfaces with just one touch.

4. What is the difference between the current daily shower cleaner vs. the Power Sprayers?
Both Power Sprayers have the one-touch continuous sprayer, which traditional triggers do not have. There are also formula benefits.

The Scrubbing Bubbles® Daily Shower Cleaner Power Sprayer formula is similar to the Scrubbing Bubbles® Automatic Shower Cleaner formula and should be used daily after the last shower of the day. The Power Sprayer is great for the entire shower/tub enclosure and for spot treating problem areas. For best results, start with a clean shower and the formula will keep the clean shower clean.

5. Does the shower, once coated with Scrubbing Bubbles® Daily Shower Cleaner, become slippery?
No. The cleaning solution will dry to a clear, non-slippery film between showers to prevent soap scum and hard-water spots.

6. How long will the triggers last?
The triggers are designed to last approximately two years.

7. How long will the batteries last?
Battery life will vary based on usage, however, on average, the two AA batteries (included) will last approximately eight refill bottles. To change the batteries, use a number 1 or 2 Phillips head screw driver to open the battery compartment.

8. Are these solutions safe to use around children and pets?
The products should always be used according to the label directions. If this is followed, the solutions can be used around children and pets. Note that the products are not toys. They should always be stored with the safety lock in the lock position and kept out of the reach of children and pets.

9. Can I use the Scrubbing Bubbles® Extend-A-Clean™ and Scrubbing Bubbles® Daily Shower Cleaner together?
Scrubbing Bubbles® Extend-A-Clean™ and Scrubbing Bubbles® Daily Shower Cleaner can be used together with no issues.

10. Can I use the Scrubbing Bubbles® Daily Shower Cleaner and Scrubbing Bubbles® Automatic Shower Cleaner together?
Scrubbing Bubbles® Daily Shower Cleaner and Scrubbing Bubbles® Automatic Shower Cleaner can be used together with no issues. The Scrubbing Bubbles® Daily Shower Cleaner is great for hard-to-reach areas that the Scrubbing Bubbles® Automatic Shower Cleaner might miss and to target trouble areas.

11. Can the Power Sprayer trigger be used on other bathroom cleaner bottles?
The trigger cannot be used on other trigger products including Scrubbing Bubbles® products. They are not interchangeable between products; use the Scrubbing Bubbles® Extend-A-Clean™ Power Sprayer trigger with Scrubbing Bubbles® Extend-A-Clean™ refills and Scrubbing Bubbles® Daily Shower Cleaner Power Sprayer trigger with Scrubbing Bubbles® Daily Shower refills.

12. Does the solution have a fragrance? If so, what is it like?

14. Where can I find the Scrubbing Bubbles® Power Sprayers?
Scrubbing Bubbles® Extend-A-Clean™ and Scrubbing Bubbles® Daily Shower Cleaner Power Sprayers can be found in your local supermarket, drug store or mass merchandise store, next to your other favorite Scrubbing Bubbles® products.

As you can see, you can start with either a clean or a dirty shower. If you start with a clean shower, it will keep your shower clean and the only action required on your part is to spray the shower when you get out…which really isn’t a hard task. If you start with a dirty shower, it will have your shower clean within 14 days. I can’t attest to that claim since I started with a clean shower, but since it works so well at keeping the shower clean..I can’t see why it wouldn’t clean a dirty shower.

I clean our bathrooms weekly and my least favorite part has always been the showers. I dislike cleaning showers so much that I tried to only have one shower get used a week so I didn’t have to clean them all. :-) However, since using this product, I don’t mind cleaning the showers weekly. I wouldn’t even classify what I do to the showers weekly now as cleaning. I simply spray some cleaner on the walls and wipe it quick…takes me about 2 minutes. So…you might wonder, since it saves me so much time during my weekly cleaning, it must take time somewhere else. Wrong! It takes about 30 seconds to spray the whole shower with the continuous sprayer (it has a motor so all you do is hold in the trigger, no need to pull the trigger about 100 times, you might be thinking...how lazy...but once you use it, you will love it!). After I spray the cleaner on the shower, the scrubbing bubbles go to work and make my job much easier!! Everything is very simple!!

I definitely recommend you trying this product. You will wonder how you lived without it!

  3. I agree that the product keeps the shower clean, however I have found that after 2-6 months the jets that dispense the cleaner become clogged and the dispenser now longer works. Not let me state that I bought one ($20.00) used it for about 5 months before this issue occured, so I bought a second one (another 20.00) and only got less than two months use out of it before the same problem occurred. I will not be replacing this cleaner as it seems awfully costly for the time it lasts.
