Can you clean the bathtub with standard cleaning materials (scrubbing bubbles/ bleach-detergents) after applying these?

I think so. My husband usually takes care of that, but I don't seem to recall any problems.

Yes yes yes!! I got mine back in April of 2013 and I clean my tub out once a week with scrubbing bubbles and no problems at all. Nothing is lifting or anything!! They are wonderful!! I love them!!!

I haven't tried to use anything caustic. My usual cleanser is Comet, which seems OK.

Yes. I haven't had any problems. I use a standard sponge. No scrub brushes.

I am not certain re: the bleach. If you do I would recommend a good flushing out of unit with fresh water after the application of mild bleach.DJ

Yes, I use them with Method's All Purpose Spray or Bath Tub & Tile spray to clean bathtub, shower, sinks, tile, granite, marble, etc. Just remember to wash all microfiber cloths separately from other towels and to not use any fabric softener and they will last a long time and do a great job cleaning/dusting/polishing without having to use harsh toxic chemicals.

Hi,I scrubbed mine with comet cleanser and then I went to bed bath and beyond and got the SQUARE stick on, they work great, the stips did not work but the squares did. Just make sure that the tub is rinsed clean of all chemicals and dry it with the hair dryer. They will work great.Hope this helps. My tub was so slippery, i fell last year.Kathy

Nope, the scrubbing pads have cleaner in them. No need to use additional cleaner.

I picked up some Zep "cleaning formula" made for pressure washers at Home Depot. I haven't tried it yet, but it specifically says that it will remove mold and mildew. A quick glance at the ingredients leads me to believe that it is much more environmentally friendly that bleach.

I would think no, they're wrapped in plastic. Also, the washer is going to use just as much water even if it's only half full so the detergent would be too diluted.

No, they are not. It is a hassle to use the liners. On the other hand, if you don't use them the tub gets dirty and you have to clean it after every use. I personally don'T care because I have to empty the water anyway. So I just bring it in the bath, empty it, and I clean it using Ajax(any powder detergent works), or Clr for the bathroom. If you are light hearted, you may want to use the liners because the water tends to be smelly.

You probably could, but, scouring is probably not the recomended method. There are cleaners out there that would do a fairly good job without ruining the finish on the tub. Talk to your hardware store expert. I believe Kaboom may be one of their suggestions. Remember that stains, lime build up an soap scum may take different products to do the cleaning. Good luck!

Only if they are removable. . . otherwise wipe down with soapy cloth then rinse off. The new models clean very easily.

After using them for a few months, they were still completely invisible on my tub floor. I did scrub around the drain but never the decals, and I can now just barely see where they are. One reason is that I use Miracle II liquid soap. If you use bar soap, I think they will accumulate soap scum, but they are so tightly adhered to the porcelain and are such a smooth abrasive, I would scrub lightly if necessary. Tip: I get the Miracle II from Amazon as well, use it for bathing babies, shampooing, cleaning the house; it is a miracle.

I have a plastic handle for the scrubbing bubbles but I bought it a long time ago & don't know if you can still get it.

I did not the first time, because we had not used our tub in many years, but I have since then. I used it originally to get rid of the biofilm stuff. There are many others at the grocery store and hardware stores you can use after each bath with the same soapy water. Oh Yuk is the only one that will get the biofilm stuff out of your plumbing, though.

I use a damp sponge that has been lightly sprayed with Lysol disinfectant spray. We've had the one in the master bath for several months, and it looks as new as it did when it arrived. I don't know if bleach would do any damage to the finish or not. Hope this is helpful.

Yes. I throw them in a tub of soapy water and scrub them. Or, you can just throw them in the dish washer.
