I try to keep a clean home. TRY. When I saw this product, I was actually excited because I HATE constantly squeezing a trigger to cover the entirety of the shower. Call it lazy, I don't care. I don't like it. I've pinched myself THROUGH my cleaning gloves before. Not fun.
I like the power sprayer attachment. Once you purchase the sprayer, you can interchange the Daily Shower Cleaner with the Extend-a-Clean. They also sell refills to the Daily Shower Cleaner and the Extend-a-Clean. You can also replace the batteries, which is nice so you aren't always purchasing a new power sprayer head. Everything about this product is easy to use. Coverage was fine, but as you run out of cleaner, it just turns into a foamy mess.
The power sprayer, unfortunately, was the ONLY part I liked about the product. The actual cleaner has a horrible smell. Now, I understand that not all cleaners are going to smell like roses, lemons or oranges. I get that. This stuff was just hard to stomach. This is coming from someone that doesn't mind the smell of Tilex. It isn't a "clean" or "sanitary" smell. I could relate the smell to all other unscented Scrubbing Bubbles scents. It smells almost like burning hair from a permanent solution. Seriously. The extend-a-clean solution is similar in scent. It leaves this burning rubber scent behind.
Did it clean my shower?
I live in an area with hard water which means fighting water spots and residue is a constant battle. I would say that it did help with keeping additional minerals from depositing, but it did not really help with the existing problem. Even after a month of using this product and doing everything in my power to help the product out, the water must be too hard for this product.
Will I use it again?
No. I threw the sprayer away last night. I really cannot stomach that perm solution smell. They try to mask it with a "clean" scent, but it just doesn't work. The cleaning power didn't meet my needs. I should say that when trying this product, you should keep in mind that if you have softer water, you might not need as strong a product as I do.
I will go back to using Soft Scrub for now. I've never used Lime-A-Way because it seems so drastic, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I plan on purchasing some and will review it at a later date.
The final word:
Probably NOT a good product for those of us who live in areas with mineralized water. I consider this more of a "maintenance" product. If you have a new shower, I think use of the extend-a-clean and/or the daily cleaner will help with deposits. If you have existing water deposits, this product was very weak to break those up. The smell is just bad. I would NOT recommend this product to friends and family based on the smell alone, but the lack of performance made it easier to dismiss as a product I will continue to use.
