what is/are scrubbing bubbles?

Hi,

I have picked up a couple of old razors on ebay for a few pounds, and knwo they will need a bit of cleaning when they arrive. I have seen many people on here mention scrubbing bubbles, but this is a product we dont have here in England - is it a detergent? what is it designed to be used on?

scrubbing bubbles is a foaming bathroom cleaner made by johnson and johnson. there is an equivalent product in the UK, but i can't remember its name.

basically, you spray it on...it makes a penetrating foam which you leave on for a bit before rinsing/wiping off.

i use scrubbing bubbles on my razors because it does a good job of removing soap scum and also kills staph and other household bacteria.

That question has come up before on the forums and the answer was Cif Bathroom Mousse in the aerosol can...I guess it's pretty common over there. Hope that helps a little!

I have used Cif (and Vim) bathroom sprays with good results. It's the more gentle version (not the abrasive cream). Don't know if they have that in the UK but I believe most bathroom sprays will be ok as long as they are not abrasive or contain bleach.

edit: bordeaaj was quicker...

WARNING -- IIRC, Scrubbing Bubbles will remove the shellac on gold plated razors and damage the finish.

Yes. I'm lucky I happen to dislike gold.
