How does scrubbing bubbles work

With the seat still flipped up, wipe down the space between the bowl and the tank, where hair tends to collect. That's gross and horrible to talk about but not as gross and horrible as a museum-quality collection of stray hairs decorating your toilet.

End by wiping the pedestal and floor area around the toilet. Then, flush the toilet and scrub the rest of the bowl, letting the brushing and the flushing water work in concert to scrub away bacteria and buildup. With the commode out of the way, it's time to wipe the sink and tub down, which is where the microfiber comes in.

The combination of microfiber and the Scrubbing Bubbles is going to make short work of blasting through soap scum and bacterial buildup: The foaming cleaner will penetrate and break down a lot of the mess before it's even time to scrub it away, and the microfiber is designed to pick up more residue than cotton or terry cloth rags. Wet the microfiber cloth, and wipe away the Scrubbing Bubbles, switching to the scrubby side for especially stubborn patches of buildup, typically on the sides of the tub and around drains.

Rinse the cloth frequently while you work, so that both the cloth and the water are working in tandem to wash away the foaming cleaner.

Grout is the mortar that fills the gaps between tile; caulk is the waterproof sealant used to seal gaps or seams around tubs, sinks, and toilets, especially in the shower or around the tub. To fight that, you need to know about X, which works its magic without you needing to scrub. Now, you may be wondering why this wasn't the first order of business in this bathroom cleaning endeavor; after all, if this product is doing the work for you, why not spray it, clean the rest of the bathroom and finish up by wiping the X away, right?

Well, here's why: The stuff stinks to high heaven. The smell is reminiscent of chlorine bleach, and can be quite overpowering. You should be sure to open a window or turn on a fan to ensure the area you're working in is well ventilated, and leave the room while the X does its thing. If there are any really stubborn mildew spots that might need some extra attention you can wipe the area down with water and a rag or scrub brush.

Then I swabbed all over the floor and sides of the bathtub. I only swabbed the floor of the shower. Then I rubbed the swab onto a clean agar plate. Then I sprayed the tub or shower with a very, very, thick coat of Scrubbing Bubbles and let it sit for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, I swabbed the tub or shower again. In case you are new at looking at agar plates, let me explain.

Agar is a Jello-like substance that bacteria and fungus like to grow on. Some types of bacteria are not able to grow on these agar plates. Viruses can not grow on these agar plates. So, just because a plate looks clean, doesn't necessarily mean that no microorganisms whatsoever were present.

We assume that a clean plate means that most bacteria were killed. However, there is the possibility that the cleaning product just stopped the bacteria from growing as opposed to actually killing it. As you can see, Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner did a great job killing bacteria in the bathtub and shower. However, I wasn't sure how long it took the Scrubbing Bubbles to kill the germs because the Scrubbing Bubbles was still on the bathtub when I swabbed it.

That means that the Scrubbing Bubbles was incubating with the germs on the agar plate. I put a thick coat of Scrubbing Bubbles all over my bathtub and shower floor. I let it sit for 10 minutes this time.
