Truly satisfying results from a remarkable cleaning product for an old-timer
I am an 80-year-old male with gradually decreasing flexibility, especially for cleaning my bathtub/shower. I bought Wet and Forget Shower solution to transform what was for me a very challenging task into something I could comfortable live with. I had high expectations based on Amazon reviews, but it sounded too good to be true, anyway. It wasn't! From what I read about the product, I realized that removing the product from the shower walls and tub would require some volume of water, and my shower head would in no way suffice. I looked at Amazon shower head offerings and purchased the highly flexible Cobbe product. The Cobbe shower head/sprayer was extremely easy to install, in spite of my initial instinct to make it more difficult than it turned out to be, based on years of household plumbing experiences. I removed old Teflon tape and applied new to the water supply spout extending from the wall. I then threaded and manually tightened each connection, per included installation instructions. After tightening each joint as much as I could by hand, the ball adjustment for the final angle of the spray head remained fully flexible. With some trepidation, I turned on the water supply and looked for the inevitable small leaks on one of more of the joints. There were none! I waited a few moments and opened the shower head to spray some water, and all was well. I turned it back off. Still no leaks. I then opened the convenient sprayer control and obtained a strong spray, ideal for cleaning the tub and shower walls. Excellent results from Cobbe! After taking a shower with the new Cobbe shower head, I then applied the Wet and Forget Shower solution with the provided spray applicator. My tub and tiled shower walls were pretty nasty after months of neglect, and prior reviews warned that it might take multiple applications/removals to get things clean. After allowing the product to sit idle for 8 hours, per instructions, I used the Cobbe sprayer with hot water to remove the Wet and Forget from the walls and tub. The strong, hot spray quickly did a far better than expected job of removing the assorted soap scum and whatever black and orange junk that was scattered here and there around the tub. The stuff streamed off the walls and tub sides and down the drain. It took almost no time for this to take place. Due to the extremely nasty condition that was presented for cleaning, the initial application/removal was not perfect. I estimate that about 10-15% remained here and there in the grout between tiles and in corner joints. Overall appearance was markedly improved, but not perfect, so I kept going. I applied another dose of Wet and Forget to the remaining dirty areas and let them sit for about 11 hours, from morning to evening. I repeated the hot spray removal process and most of the residual grime washed away immediately. There remained about 5% of what I started with, so I went thru the process again. After another 9 hours, I sprayed again and almost everything was gone. I attacked the few stubborn areas with a toothbrush for about 3-4 minutes and sprayed hot water again. There remain a few light stains in a corner joint, but the rest of the tub and shower are clean as a whistle. I am absolutely delighted with the results and will now begin using the Wet and Forget product once a week, as suggested on the product container. For you younger users using the product on less neglected tubs/showers, I have no doubt that your results will be even more immediate and satisfying. Read more
