My Writing Adventure

Rocks in my Dryer is doing "Doesn't Work for Me Wednesday" today instead of her usual "Works for Me Wednesday" blog carnival. Since I purchased the Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner due to RIMD's recommendation, and because I told you I would let you know if it worked, I thought I would participate this week and comment.

In short, does this tub look clean to you?

Okay, this picture probably isn't a great representation. But, basically the tub looks just as dirty as it does when we don't clean it for three weeks (which we would never do). I kept hoping the Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner (henceforth known as the Thingy) would kick in at some point. I started the Scrubbing Bubbles Thingy with a clean tub so, I was more than a little sad when the tub just kept getting dirtier and dirtier.

Bottom line - it isn't cleaning all that well. Or maybe we have a weird tub surface. Or maybe we have exceptionally dirty feet. I mean, it came so highly recommended that maybe we are the problem. But, regardless, it isn't keeping the tub clean.

Also, the glass doors never look anything close to clean because we no longer use a squeegee before we get out of the shower. It would be fruitless since the Scrubbing Bubbles Thingy sprays the doors after the last shower of the day.

And, because we have brass fixtures, we have to rinse off the brass after the Thingy has been run. Our brass fixtures have looked pretty bad since the day we moved in but since the Thingy's instructions were emphatic about not using with brass, we dutifully rinse the fixtures after use each morning.

Did I mention the smell? I've been known to buy certain products just for the smell. For example, Palmolive's Oxy Plus Dishwashing Liquid in Alpine Purity fits that bill. I can't say that I would go out of my way for the Thingy's smell.

HOWEVER, yesterday when I finally decided enough was enough, I pulled out my Lemon Soft Scrub and my Magic Eraser with Extra Power to clean the tub. (By the way, I LOVE the new extra strength Magic Erasers - genius!) What usually takes a lot of huffing and puffing in order to get a clean tub took about three minutes and very little elbow grease.

So, in theory, the Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner doesn't work for me as it is supposed to, but it did make cleaning the tub easier for me.

All in all, I'm glad I tried it. There was nothing lost in trying it because I essentially got it for free due to my membership with The Grocery Game.
