Soft Scrub Giveaway!

As the summer comes to a close I always think about preparing my home for the whirlwind of approaching holidays... Labor Day cookout, Halloween party, Thanksgiving dinner and of course Christmas. Before I pull out any decorations, prepare a menu or even THINK about inviting people over I want to make sure my home is clean. A clean home is a solid foundation on which to build awesome celebrations! I especially want to make sure that my bathroom and kitchen are spotless so I'm constantly looking for household cleaning products that can help me out. I received a bottle of Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover Gel and couldn't wait to try it out in my bathroom. It's my least favorite chore so anything that makes it easier is totally appreciated.

We have tile all over our bathroom.  It's obnoxious and I hate it but we rent so I deal with it.  I'm certain I do not want tile in the bathroom of my dream home (you know I have a Pinterest board for that) just as much as I am certain I do not want pine trees anywhere in the vicinity of my dream home.  Cleaning grout and raking pine needles/picking up pine cones are the bane of my existence.   So on to the Soft Scrub...

Right away I noticed the pleasant smell.  It's clean without being harsh.  I'm not going to fib... I've found a cleaner that works wonders.  Spray it on, RUN away, rinse it off and it's all done.  But it smells HORRIBLE.  My poor little sinuses are in a bad state by the time I get out of the bathroom and shut the door behind me.  I'm also terrified one of our cats will jump in there.  I can't imagine what it would do to them.  Currently my laziness out weighs my concern for my sinuses.  After using the Soft Scrub Mold and Mildew though... I might be a convert.  I sprayed it on our bathroom tiles and on a few places on the floor where there are what?  You got it!  More tiles!  YAY!  Ugh.  I let the gel sit for a bit and then came back to rinse it.  I scrubbed a bit on the floor tiles.  The shower looked pretty clean and smelled good to me.  Success!  The floor tiles are a little bit more difficult.  They are smaller and even after I scrubbed a bit they didn't really seem totally clean.  The grout wasn't as white as I would have liked but there was improvement.  

Would you like to try it out for yourself?  I'd love to hear how your experiences go!
