My shower is a nightmare to clean. (We have horrible rust in our water.) So, when BzzAgent offered me the opportunity to try out the new Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner, I jumped at it. The Shower Cleaner says that it will clean a dirty shower in 2-3 weeks, or maintain a clean one, so I decided to try a two-stage experiment. Stage one was to install the Cleaner in our shower, as-is, and see how well it cleaned it. To begin with, I took pictures of the shower and installed the Cleaner.

(I know, it’s bad. It had been a while since I cleaned it. Did I mention I hate cleaning it? lol)

Then I used the Cleaner as directed until the first bottle was completely empty. (Since the instructions say it lasts for approximately 3 weeks, I figured that should be a fair trial.) When the bottle was completely empty, I took pictures again.

Not much difference.  Here — see the before and after photos side-by-side:

I’m not impressed. Although I guess maybe it kept it from getting worse. (Then I cleaned the shower. But that’s another post.)

Stage two involves beginning with a clean shower and observing how well the Automatic Shower Cleaner maintains it over the life of a bottle of cleaning fluid. I’ll let you know how that works out.
