In spring, not only the body requires renewal and freshness, but also housing =) Therefore, I continue to write about environmentally friendly bathroom cleaning products that will not cause harm to health.
This year I went to European cities several times and looked into every health food store I came across! It’s nice to see the familiar Ecover brands and Natracare hygiene products in Germany and Italy, and at prices higher than we buy them.
Therefore, I did not bring safe chemicals from Europe, but I’m currently collecting a basket on iHerb with household supplies, for spring cleaning =)
Bathroom cleaning products
Last year, a large-scale audit by EWG (an independent organization) showed these results for bathroom cleaning products. We tested 227 products from 58 popular brands, half fell into category F: the most dangerous for human health and the environment.
Safety was assessed using five points:
- asthma/lung toxicity
- allergic reactions/skin irritation
- reproductive toxicity
- carcinogenicity
- environmental impact
I looked through the entire list and chose the most safe means for good health, which can be purchased on iHerb. They are not sold in Russia, and no one tests “our chemicals” for irritation and toxicity.

There is also my review about another product:
Every person faces the problem of cleaning their bathroom and wonders about choosing the best product, using recommendations from friends, colleagues and all kinds of advice about the best manufacturers and popular products on the market today.
Choosing household chemicals for your home, it is important to understand the purpose of the product used. They are working to solve problems related to contamination of plumbing fixtures in the house. best manufacturers, developing and releasing improved products every year.
There are a very large number of tubes for sale on the market for cleaning surfaces, but it often turns out that the purchased product does not bring the desired effect or even causes harm. To implement the right choice It is necessary to pay attention to the following criteria described below.
The importance of bathtub coating and potency
The instructions must indicate for which surfaces this product should be used, tips for use and the composition of the chemicals. The type of chemically active substance used is responsible not only for functionality, but is also the main selection criterion for various surfaces, the use of many substances is unacceptable and dangerous for certain coatings.
The desire to clean the bathtub from rust or limestone deposits requires effort, but it is important not to overdo it in the fight against problems; you can remove not only plaque, but also upper layer coverings. To do this, you will need to know what surfaces there are, and which one is located at home.
If you need to start cleaning hot tubs containing acrylic, you should not choose substances that include various strong acids. Acrylic is a very fragile coating and requires special products to avoid scratching the top layer.
Ingredients such as chlorine, acetone, gasoline, abrasive paste and alcohol-based emulsions should not be allowed on acrylic surfaces; it is also strictly prohibited to use powdered substances even without the above substances in their composition. The powder may damage the top layer of the acrylic coating, causing further deterioration of the surface. More important point is to avoid using metal brushes and fiberglass sponges on this type of surface.
Cleaning rust from an enamel bathtub may seem simple, but using too strong substances can remove the enamel layer along with the rust. Substances that are too chemically active must be used carefully and washed off quickly, without leaving them on the surface of the bath for a long time. It is better to thoroughly rub the problem area than to then pay for the restoration of the bathtub.
Composition and desired goal
When deciding to clean the bathtub, you need to understand what the task and purpose of the chosen product is. Do you need to clean off old rusty stains that have darkened over time, or just carry out disinfection and slightly remove the yellowness from the surface.
If you need to carry out regular maintenance of your plumbing fixtures, you don’t need to choose too strong a product, because frequent use of various acids can affect the shine and uniformity of the bathtub coating.
And in the case of darkened enamel and severe dirt, you should use strong acid-containing substances, otherwise it will be very difficult to clean the bathtub. But when using such products, it is important to strictly follow the instructions for use and not increase the time yourself. Exaggeration and delay can remove not only rusty and limescale deposits, but also expose the enamel to the metal layer.
Safe use
Safety should always be remembered and not forgotten especially by those who have small children and pets. They should also be used carefully by people prone to allergies and hypersensitive skin. It is best to use latex cleaning gloves during procedures.
It is also important to remember that not completely rinsed off products can cause harm to the skin upon contact during bathing, and an unwashed bath can cause health problems. These substances should be handled very carefully and, when finished, it is best to put them in a safe place, hidden from view. sun rays and away from children.
To wash off detergents from the surface of the bathtub, it is best to use a soft sponge or rag, and then rinse big amount liquid, sparing no water to repeat the procedure several times.
