Shower Cleaning With The Save n’ Shine Dish Brush

Easy and Quick Bathroom Cleaning

If you like to clean shower glass or walls quickly as you go, consider keeping a Sabco Save n’ Shine Dish Sponge in the shower or bathroom.

In just one minute, it’s super easy to keep your shower clean while you’re already in the shower!

All you need to do is fill your dish sponge with a mix of white vinegar and dish-washing detergent. The dish-washing detergent cuts through soap scum and stains while the vinegar acts as a non-toxic odor eliminator.

Finish glass surfaces off with the Sabco Glass & Shower Squeegee for beautiful shiny results.

Tip*: Re-purpose an old and worn Sabco Save & Shine Dish Sponge for use in the bathroom and get a new one for your kitchen.

Cleaning with Microfibre

Cleaning with Microfibre

For those of you who don’t like cleaning with chemicals, but still want a powerful clean, we’re sure you already use microfibre to help you meet these goals. Here are a couple of commonly asked questions with answers, and tips relating to microfibre cleaning.

Why is microfibre superior for cleaning without chemicals?
Ordinary cleaning cloths, mops, etc have fibres that are made of cotton or synthetic material like nylon. But microfibre has far more fibres, and they’re much smaller. Microfibres are able to attach themselves to even the smallest, most microscopic dirt particles – ones that normal cloths and mops brush past.

What’s the best way to use microfibre?
You will want to (out of habit) soak it with water and detergent – both of which will reduce the microfibre effectiveness. Get a better result by using as little water as possible.

Our Microfibre cloths and mop pads can be washed for multiple uses, but there are some care instructions you should be aware of first:
It is recommended that you wash your microfibre items separately from your other items. The reason being, we know microfibres want to pick up everything, and that includes anything coming off other items in the wash.

When it comes to what detergent to use, we suggest a gentle one without any dyes, scents, or additives. And 100% no bleach or fabric softeners. Bleach will ruin the cloth and fabric softeners with clog the fibres.

The water temperature can be cold or warm, but not hot as this will also damage the microfibres.
