 Hey guys, Derek Christian with Cleaning Business today, going on more with our product review series. And I'm going to do another one of my products, which actually kind of surprises people, but this was one of my favorite products at my maid service, and that is Works Shower and Tub Cleaner. It surprises a fair amount of people because this product is actually a product you'd normally buy at the dollar store. This is a 16 ounce bottle, and you can almost always buy it for a dollar. It's incredibly inexpensive, and it's a very powerful cleaner for removing soap scum and hard water stains. The active ingredient in this is 5% hydrochloric acid. This basically means it does a really great job of dissolving soap scum, rust, and hard water buildups. So, it's not a great cleaner, it doesn't have a lot of things like surfactants or degreaser or things to remove soil and stains, it's acid. It dissolves things. It primarily dissolves lime scale, it dissolves hard water buildup, and it dissolves rust, and it does a fantastic job with it. Now it is an acid-based product, which means you've got to be sure to keep it off of your natural stone because it can damage natural stone, obviously, and you should always test it in an inconspicuous area to make sure it doesn't damage things. But when it comes to showers and tubs, which is the only place we use this, we would use this on some really nasty apartments, and it just really tore through the soap scum. Did better than some more expensive products. We used to use a product called Spartan Foaming Cune, which was a great product, but it was a lot more expensive. I found that it works much better than Lime-Away, which is much more expensive, and it's kind of a brute force cleaner. Once again, 5% hydrochloric acid, pretty much that's what's in here doing what it does. So you've got to realize what it is and it isn't, but if you've got some soap scum you've got to dissolve, it does a great job. You can get it in a spray bottle, and they're a little hard to find. Whenever we find the spray bottles, we buy a pack out of them, and then we refill them from these squeeze bottles, because that's the problem with the squeeze bottle, is there is a tendency to overuse the product. Descent's not bad. It is a relatively strong acid, so I do recommend you wear some gloves and other personal protective gear because it can't annoy your skin if you get on it too much. And it's not something I would use in a maintenance clinic. This is not an everyday product. Once again, it's hydrochloric acid. I can't say that enough. So kind of get that through your brain. This is not something you're going to use on Mrs. Smith's shower that you clean weekly or bi-weekly. But if you're doing a first-time clean or a restorative clean, or if you're like, gosh, you did a fair amount of departments and you walked in and it looks like, hey, nobody has ever cleaned this shower. It's a product I'd recommend you consider. Once again, incredibly inexpensive. We used to get ours a Dollar Tree, and you could order a Dollar Tree direct, and they would shift you whole cases, 12 in a case, directly to the local Dollar Tree and you would go pick them up 100 bottles at a time to save our time. So something to consider. Know what it is and what it isn't. It's not a cleaner. It's acid, but acid has its place. Acid is great for dissolving certain things. So definitely a product I would recommend you maybe experiment and play with if you haven't played with it. Make sure your people are trained. They can do some real damage with this if they don't know how to do it. And don't get cute with it. This is 5% hydrochloric acid. Some people know that works also makes a toropole cleaner. The toropole cleaner is 10% hydrochloric acid, so it's much stronger. This, in our experience, we've spilled it several times and won't damage like herpet. If you spill the toropole cleaner on herpet, it'll eat it. It'll dissolve it. In our experience, we've never had this damaged chrome. The toropole cleaner, which is double the potency, will damage chrome and things like that. So don't get cute. Don't think that, hey, Derek said this green bottle product works pretty well. Let's try using the toropole cleaner. I've done it. It works really good. Dissolve the soap scum really quick. The problem is it also eats the chrome. If you spill it on the carpet, it's going to eat the carpet. So use the product as intended. If anyone ever were to get injured with it, you would have all sorts of problems with it because you'd have to explain to a lawyer and workers' comp why somebody was taught to use toropole cleaner on the wall. So definitely recommend you stick with the green bottle and don't get cute and try to use the toropole cleaner. But this product itself, when used as designed, is a good product and something I think you might want to consider in your arsenal. Be curious of your opinions on it. So as always, if you have any opinions, let me know below in our comments here. And I'd love to get some other opinions or advice. If you view something that works even better, I'd love to give it a try and throw it in our review series. And as always, follow us at Clean Business Today.
