CLR Bathroom & Kitchen Cleaner Product Review

I Love It!

Sophie Adams
I am reviewing CLR Bathroom & Kitchen Cleaner. It's in a yellow bottle. This is not really a new product but one that I have tried and feel obligated to say its praise! I have a brand new house and thought I'd keep up with the cleaning. Needless to say, I got tired of cleaning the tubs and let it go a little. It started to turn from white to a light brown color. I tried other name brand products but it didn't come off. I then tried CLR Bathroom & Kitchen Cleaner Product. It is in a yellow bottle and has a foaming spray. This product is best for the soap scum or lime build up that you get from every day use of your showers, sinks and toilets.

Their commercial shows them just spraying and wiping off the product but that part is not 100% true. The best thing to do is spray the entire area that needs to be cleaned and let it set for about 10 or 15 minutes. Come back with a scrub brush and scrub the entire area. Depending on the surface, you can use a sponge. I used the scrub brush because the bottom of my tub is not smooth and needs bristles to dig out the grime. Their web site does say to spray and wait. It comes off so easy and everything is sparkling again. Make sure you have proper ventilation because it has a very strong odor. I have used it on my fiberglass tub, glass door and my toilet bowl. There are other surfaces it is safe to use it on and others that it isn't. I found a site you can go to for more information.

I am very happy with this product and won't use anything else for my bathroom. The only regret I have is not using it years ago. I remember seeing it in the store and never tried it. With this product and most others, the key is to wait after you apply the product before you clean it off. Give it some time, about 10 to 15 minutes if the instructions don't specify the time. You'll be glad you did; otherwise, you're not giving the product the full benefit. You can get this product in most grocery stores. I hope you enjoy this product as much as I did.

    Does anyone know if CLR products are safe in RV gray & black water holding tanks. Are they compatabile with the chemicals we need to use in the holding tanks? Thanx for all replys.

    This product is not supposed to to be on any longer than 2 - 3 minutes. it has 3 acids in it and it may damage the surfaces if left on for 15 min as the author recommends. The product directions state that if it doesn't work the first time after rinsing reapply. the bathroom cleaner is the same formula as the CLR, however it has more water in it and it is contained in a convenient spray bottle. I would suggest getting the other and diluting it yourself depending on the difficulty of your taks. The manufacturer recommends using it full strength if the 50/50-water/CLR solution doesn't work.

    I tried CLR on my kitchen faucet, faucet base and handle, all of which are shiny chrome. What a dud this product is@! Complete waste of money. I tried the wipe on/off method shown on TV and that's just a scam demo. The product is oily so when you first wipe it on any surface it make it look shiny. But the ugly lime buildup was still there when I rinsed the product off and dried the faucet. I tried leaving it on for 20 minutes . . . no difference. I then went back to using Soft Scrub, which cleaned up the faucet beautifully. CLR is nothing more than a scam . . . I'm disgusted they "got my money" for even one bottle of the junk!
