I'm "Llama Rama" - my soaping board is "Suds".
OK, so I checked out "Suds" and the first thing I noticed at the top of the page was the diy tub and tile cleaner. Have you tried it yet? I've been using this stuff for over a year and it's the BEST ever!!! I have extremely hard water, and I was always having to get out the old toothbrush to clean the lime scale around the faucets and I have asthma, so many of the cleaners that worked, were too harsh for me to use.
I love diy cleaners, but.....they have to work at least as well as the store bought ones to be worth it to me. This one is just amazing, seriously. I use it on the tile, the tub, the faucets, even the toilet. If you can spray it on and leave it for a while, it works even better. I use less Dawn than it calls for, because I thought that made it too sudsy and hard to rinse. Some people have mentioned the vinegar smell. To me, it just smells clean, and I'd much rather smell vinegar than some nasty chemicals. This is a staple for me that I've shared with all of my friends, who love it too. So if you haven't tried it yet, don't wait, this stuff really works.
Just FYI, my other diy cleaner staple is my all purpose cleaner. I buy the large store brand of Windex, add 3 drops of Dawn, then fill the rest of the way to the top with non sudsy ammonia. I put it in a spray bottle and use it on the stove, fridge, counter....just about anything. I even use it to fill my Swiffer type floor cleaner, the one you can add your own cleaner to. I didn't like the Swiffer, because when they first came out (I don't know if they're different now) you had to use their cleaner, and I thought it made the floor streaky and sticky. My stuff never does, just nice and clean.
And I always struggled with soap crumbs on the floor. You know what I mean! Those little pieces that get everywhere. They're soft, so you step on them and they squish. And they're sticky, so dirt sticks to them, so you have all these little, black, blobs on the floor that don't want to come up with the Swiffer thingy. So what do you do.....do you have to get on your hands and knees and scrub all of those little blobs by hand? No! The floor steamer is amazing for those. I got mine refurbished at Big Lots and it works like a charm on the blobs. I know I can't be the only one who struggles with those things, so if this helps anyone out there, I'll be happy.
Less time cleaning means more time to soap!
