How to use

  1. Spray the soap scum remover onto the affected surfaces.
  2. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the solution to penetrate and loosen the soap scum.
  3. Use a rag or a gentle scrub brush to scrub away the soap scum. Go carefully on delicate surfaces to avoid scratches.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with water.
Use this on any surface with soap buildup. Generally, the bathroom vanities, tubs, and kitchen sinks are the biggest areas for soap scum buildup. I recommend using it at least once per week.
Please note: this recipe should not be used on granite or other natural stones.
