Can it be used to clean soap scum off of acrylic tubs (without scratching the surface) and, if so, is it effective?

It won't scratch the surface cause it won't clean the soap scum. It don't work. It's a piece of junk.

I have not tried this on an acrylic tub but, I have used this with both the blue pad and the bristle brush on my stainless steel sink, tile shower, flat cooktop range, porcelain bathroom sink...all without scratches. I think it might be safe to say it would be fine on an acrylic tub as long as you do not use an abrasive cleanser. I have been happy with my results in using this power scrubber. It has been effective for me and though it is not a miracle worker, it had cut down on "elbow grease" and time spent cleaning.

I think so, you can attach different pads to velcro. It works at slow rpm; but faster than my scrubbing rpm by hand. I used it on mine.

Well, I'm not sure why you would have to use either when just soap and water should work. If there are mineral deposits in it due to hard water then I've always heard that letting it soak in vinegar and water works well. Hope that helps.

Either one/scent would work. The one that is scented, it is so light that it will not irritate your nose. But I am not sure how it would do for cleaning your tub/shower. It doesn't scrub off soap film, think of it more like a windex type of cleaning. The reason I use it is because there are no harsh or dangerous chemimcals in it. I especially like to use it on my laminate wood floors, so that my small dogs paws are not getting touched by anything bad. I use it for my glasst top stove & marble counter tops too. I hope this helps!

I've used 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner cleaner on both plastic and acrylic. The label says it is okay to use on cured paint, vinyl or glass. I don't see any warnings about plastic or acrylic. The primary ingredients are Xylene, Ethylbenzene and Toluene and Benzene. I suspect you won't want it to sit on plastics and acrylics for a prolonged period of time. All the ingredients are pretty nasty stuff so wear gloves and protect your eyes from spray-back and use it in a very well ventilated space. I love this for removing tar, oil, etc. on vehicle paint, wheels, etc.

It is a lot of work to remove old hard water/soap scum residue. It is almost impervious to hot water, and most chemicals (except very harsh acids) because, it's like plastic once its layered on for a long time. One suggestion I got that really worked on ceramic wall tile (I was cleaning up a dirty rental apt), which not involve burning my lungs with acid vapor in a confined shower space, was to simply physically remove the scum with a razor blade paint scraper. It's the ones people use to remove stickers from windows, etc. You can buy them at hardware stores or dollar stores. (Always be careful and remember where your fingers are while working with a razor!). Firmly and steadily shave/scrape down then across the surface of the dry tiles and you will see many layers of soap scum residue come cascading off (like a powder). You can rinse it all down the drain if you like. Then use the steamer to finish off the remaining residue, then maybe use windex to remove all traces of residue. Voila! The next scheduled cleaning with the steamer should be much faster and easier . Tip: After the tile is all squeeky clean and looks as new, try rubbing it with some Turtle Wax to inhibit build-up till the next regular cleaning.

I have not used these sponges in the shower but it is worth a try. Make sure you have something powerful to breakdown the soap scum. Ugh, soap scum, my nemisis!

What result are you hoping to achieve with the use of the product? I purchased it to clean my shower and it didn't do as good a job as Clean Shower from Arm & Hammer and that costs around $2. Don't get me wrong, each of them required a considerable amount of scrubbing, but Clean Shower produced better results. I used the ROG with bare hands and it did't affect my skin, so I would assume it's safe for your septic system. If you'd like, I can check the container when I get home.

Hi again Robin,Can you give any advice on how you used the steamer to clean your tub? I just finally tried mine out last night and it didn't really lift off the soap scum. Maybe it was just too much scum for it to handle?Also, it left residue from what it had picked up on the floor the first time. Any tips?Thanks for your advice!Renee

Yes, it does remove soap scum on the glass without harming the glass. If there is a build up in the shower stall, spray the shower daily for a week and use a Mr. Clean Scrubber (this was a recommendation I read before purchasing the Wet & Forget). I now use it weekly and am very pleased.

Hello, I was checking to see what the ratio of polyester/polymide was for these cloths and saw your question. I am a 'green' housecleaner and use these to remove soap scum off of shower doors and tiles! The secret is to not make the microfiber cloth too damp. Just a light spray of vinegar and water and the soap scum will rub away beautifully. However, for your bathtub, the cloth would get too damp and not be effective. I use Bon Ami scrubbing powder and a sponge (scrubber side) for the bathtub and it works really well, as does baking soda in a pinch.

I don't believe that it is marketed as a cleaner -- only a conditioner and waterproofer. Having said that, if you first apply the conditioner with a cloth, it will clean away surface grime. I use the stuff on the leather scabbard for my offshore fishing pliers, and it works quite well in a saltwater environment.

I have not used it directly on clothing items, but have used it in home made laundry soap and had no issues.

I've never cleaned brushes, but to remove this from copper plates, we use washing soda. Also, LA Awesome removes most acrylic products, along with its intended use to clean dirt, grease and other stuff. It will remove acrylic paint from tables, so try that. Or, washing soda. I use Pledge as a varnish to make printing plates directly or on copper as an acid resist. Like the other reply, if all else fails, ammonia works. I just don't like the smell!

Yea I've used it on phones, watches, really any hard nonporous surface. Not a huge difference, but definitely helps with cleaning

I won't say yes since i read some other customers said it irritated their skins. Personally I am allergic to Chlorine and other strong cleansers and i don't have any problem when i am using this soap. so i guess you can try ~

You can also use washing soda. A lot nice to use than ammonia! LA Awesome cleaner also cuts through acrylic. I get that cleaner at the Dollar store.

I am not sure. My tub is acrylic and it worked well. Maybe test in a small area.
