Are those the little square things with a silver-colored center? If they are, my paper clips stuck to the magnetic surface, and they've been there ever since.

You are so right. It works on hair, too.

i tried it, using pert to clean my tub, works like a charm, i didnt use a spray bottle, i just poured a little bit in the tub and mixed with water and use the suds, the soap scum came right off, i used the happy medium, i normally use the soft scrub with bleach, this worked about the same.

also i am not a big fan of pert shampoo on my hair but found if i use it as my shampoo i need to also use some other conditioner and works good, hair turns out shiny and easy to comb.

I will have to try it as bathtub cleaner, as we have 3 and I can use an entire bottle of soft scrub in a month. I can not stand to get into a tub and it feel "gritty" so I don't think I could stand the powdered dishwasher soap thing.

i am a hard working housewife, i tried pert with a scrub brush, works great, and i always used soft scrub with bleach and i think this works better on the soap scum. who knew!!!!

That's really good to know. I use soft scrub with bleach, too.

I do a lot of laundry with shampoo and often use conditioner as a rinse on my sweaters and finewash underwear. It works like a charm, smells good, no allergic reactions and the fabrics tend to look good longer. I use only the better shampoos for my laundry though. Shampoo also cleans my dark color doggy work clothes [which can get quite funky at times] very well, without having to resolve to color safe bleaches etc. I do have a top loader though - not sure how that would work for front loaders.

IMO shampoo also cleans better than most household cleaners - in addition to using it in the bathroom, I also use it for washing walls, light switches and doors + door frames. In a pinch - when out of regular dish detergent - I have used the cheap clear Suave shampoos for doing dishes, with no funny aftertaste or anything. I have also used oxy type dish detergents for doing white laundry [no bleach needed] or dog bedding etc - it gets "stuff" and stains out like no other detergent does... I used to wash dog bedding and blankets 2-3x at times with regular detergent and it still smelled like a wet dog afterwards. Not when I use shampoos!

Lastly - I have used shampoo in my carpet shampooer as well [carefully though] - I'll never buy another expensive bottle of carpet shampoo stuff that costs a fortune, and that stinks and makes the room smell for days afterwards, and still doesn't get the stains or dirt up. Loreal Vive works very well for that, smells good and the carpet gets cleaner than with any professional carpet shampoo I've ever used before. It gets pet stains as well, which is very important for me as we have a veritable zoo. I've been using shampoo for carpet cleaning for about 3 yrs now and don't see any deteriorating in the carpet fibers, actually - they look better considering the age, than the carpet in my old place that was done with official carpet shampoos!

I just had to share this. After reading this thread yesterday, I used my nylon scrubber and some Pert to clean a test spot of my shower. WOW! It looks incredible and was easy to clean with the shampoo. I really hate cleaning my shower so this is very good news for me.

i used it in my toilet also, work good there to, only put a little on the brush no direct in toilet, maybe add a tad of bleach to water. toilet was sparkling,
