I blogged about it awhile back (click here to read that post if *gasp* you haven't already read it) - and it truly does work well. However, my biggest complaint with it was that it makes a lot of really thick suds that can be difficult to rinse away if you're using it on anything other than a shower.

I decided I was going to try a diluted version of it to see if it would still have the miracle cleaning power, but be easier to rinse away.
I mixed 1/2 c. blue Dawn with 1.5 c. white vinegar. Right away I noticed that it mixed much more easily, even without heating the vinegar. I decided to test it on the sinks in my master bath. The faucets have a satin-brushed nickel finish, and while I love them, I neglected to make sure that they were kind that don't show water spots. After a few days of use, they tend to look "spotty". Not a big deal, but it bugs me. Just wiping them off doesn't work - not all cleaners work. Lesson learned.
TIP: If you're shopping for new faucets in satin-brushed nickel, make sure the box says "spot resistant".
I sprayed the sink lightly with the SB 2.0, scrubbed lightly with the handy-dandy scrubber and let it sit for a few minutes. (This would be the handy-dandy scrubber that is supposed to be so great to hang in your shower, but leaks if you store it with the scrubber end down. I know y'all read my post about it, but just in case you want to review it, here's a link.)
Then I used a cup to pour water over the faucet and sink - the suds were instantly gone! I used a dry cloth to wipe everything off and it looked fantastic!
So what, you say? I'll tell you what...
Benefits of Scum Buster v. 2.0
- use less Dawn
- easier to spray
- easier to rinse
- same great cleaning power
- save more money (because you use less Dawn)
I ask you - what's not to love??? And in case you wondered, I tried it in the shower as well, and I actually find it easier to use than the original version.
So remember to use SB v. 2.0 - and don't forget that you heard about it on Enjoy the View!! I think I'll call this a "Pin Booster" since it's an improved version of a Pin. :-)

Give it a try!
Did this work for you? Let me know! I'd love to connect with you on Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat!
Just made this and did in a long over due bathroom (my 3 month old doesn't leave a lot of time or energy for cleaning), and this works great! All I had was Dawn platinum so I scaled back on that a smidge, but my faucets look great. I also put hot water in a spray bottle for my rinse and it was a total won. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome!! I'm so glad it worked for you - and thanks so much for sharing!!
