Which Eco Cleansers Work?

Basin, Tub & Tile Cleaners

Earth Friendly Products Cream Cleanser - 16 oz. $2.49
This mildly abrasive cream cleanser comes in a traditional squirt bottle. It cleaned porcelain well and made stainless steel shine beautifully. The thick, lemon-scented liquid is easy to apply and rinses easily, all without .

Ecover Natural Cream Scrub - 32 oz. $3.69
This big, unwieldy bottle was hard to use. The unscented cream worked on porcelain and cleaned up soap scum and hard water deposits but did not get stainless steel fixtures as shiny as the Earth Friendly Products cleanser. It also left some gritty residue.

Earth Rite Tub & Tile Cleaner - 16 oz. $2.99
The poorly designed spray bottle makes this liquid hard to apply evenly. It cleaned porcelain well and even removed an old rust stain left by a leaky faucet after a few applications with a soft cloth. It smells like apple cider vinegar and rinses away quickly.

Summary
For everyday bathroom cleaning, Earth Rite spray will get the job done on the tub, tile, and may even remove rust stains on porcelain. But if you want your stainless steel fixtures to shine, try Earth Friendly Products Cream Cleanser.
