The $5 Cleaner That Makes My Shower Sparkling Without Scrubbing

If there’s one cleaning chore I loathe above the rest, it’s cleaning my shower. Readers who have been following my writing for a while know this to be true, as I’ve waxed poetic about my favorite shower cleaning solution (the Homitt electric scrub brush) for years now. However, as much as I love my scrub brush, I love an easy solution even more. So recently, I’ve been on the hunt for the ultimate “no-scrub” shower cleanser — and I think I finally found the one. 

Over the years, I’ve tested numerous bathroom and shower cleansers, from team favorites to picks the internet swears by, but there’s one that trumps them all for me: the ECOLAB Foaming Shower, Tub, and Tile No-Scrub All-Purpose Cleaner. Affordable and powerful, this no-scrub cleaner is the real deal, but what is it about this pick that makes it reign supreme for me? Let’s break it down. 

Designed to take the fuss and fight out of giving your shower the ultimate clean, the ECOLAB Foaming Shower, Tub, and Tile No-Scrub All-Purpose Cleaner is one cleaning product you’re going to want to stock up on. Featuring a dynamic acid blend, this cleanser tackles soap scum and hard water deposits like no other. The thick foam concentrate clings to every surface with ease, breaking down grime and allowing you to get a great clean without any scrubbing. Simply spray the cleanser, let it sit for one minute, wipe with a wet sponge, give a quick rinse, and you’re set. 

While on the hunt for the perfect shower cleaner, I knew I wanted to check out what ECOLAB had to offer. I’m already a big fan of the brand’s floor cleaner, so I figured their shower cleaner had to be great, too, right? Right. I headed to The Home Depot and picked up a bottle of the Foaming Shower, Tub, and Tile No-Scrub All-Purpose Cleaner and, for the first time in a while, was excited to clean my shower. 

After spraying my shower to high heaven with this stuff (which, by the way, hardly has a smell — which I love), I let it sit, gave it a wipe, and rinsed it down to reveal a perfectly clean shower — no scrubbing required. But I didn’t stop there; as an all-purpose cleaner I also used it on my sink, toilet, and fixtures, and you know what? It took care of those places with ease, too. It was another win from ECOLAB for me. 

The ECOLAB Foaming Shower, Tub, and Tile No-Scrub All-Purpose Cleaner comes in at just under $5, which makes it a steal of a deal. So if you’re tired of scrubbing away, only to reveal a still filthy shower, give this cleanser a try. I’m confident you’ll find that your shower (and every part of your bathroom) will be sparkling after a few minutes with this spray.
