Apply Furniture Polish after Basin Cleaner for a Glossy Shower
When cleaning your shower or bath tub insert it is best to soak a sponge with the Basin, Tub and Tile cleaner, wipe the surface evenly so all is covered including the chrome and let it sit for a few minutes, rather than spray it on as it all runs down to the bottom and down the drain and leaves streaks. Let this sit on the surface for a few minutes until small bubbles appear and then take a scour pad (Scotch Brite), testing first in a non-conspicuous place to make sure it doesn’t leave scratch marks. After scrubbing the surface, rinse and dry, and redo any spots you have missed. After this use a rag soaked with the Furniture Polish, being sure not to get it on the floor of your shower as it would make it really slippery, and rub it all around until dry and shiny (this is not for tile showers). DO NOT apply the Furniture Polish until you get a clean smooth finish. Doing this step helps repel the buildup of soap scum, again making maintenance cleaning very easy and effective, and after using the shower you can use a shower squeegee (purchase at Bi-Mart or Dollar Store) and still have a clean gloss in your shower. Application of this may take 2 or 3 times depending on the severity of buildup of soap scum and residue from previous caustic cleaners. You can also apply the Furniture Polish periodically after cleaning your wash basins, kitchen sink, or toilet seat and bowl (very good on porcelain) which is good for effective maintenance cleaning and shine. The Furniture Polish also works really well on the toilet seats, makes them really smooth to sit on. My friend told me about putting some Basin, Tub and Tile Cleaner in her husband’s stainless steel coffee thermos and it removed all the black buildup from inside his thermos.
Use Furniture Polish after Toilet Cleaner
When using the Toilet Bowl Cleaner be sure to squeeze the liquid up under the rim of the toilet and that it covers the surrounding bowl as it runs down. Best results come with letting it sit for about 30 minutes. For a problem ring turn off the water behind the toilet and then flush the toilet – this keeps the water level below the ring. Use a “pumice for porcelain” stone on the ring or all over the inside of the bowl, flush the pumice granules and then apply the toilet bowl cleaner. I never flush the cleaner down just leave it as it keeps cleaning just flush the next time you use the toilet. You can also apply the Furniture Polish to the inside of the toilet bowl after drying it good if you think you are satisfied with the job. Doing this periodically keeps this ring from building up so fast again. My ring has not reappeared since I started doing this. This makes maintenance so easy. Another incredible trick to getting any built up blackish, green crusted lime deposits removed from any porcelain (be it toilet, sink or bath tub) is to use a “pumice for porcelain” stone which you can get from your local hardware store. Just use the pumice stone on the surface of the bad areas and in conjunction with the Veriuni Basin, Tub & Tile or Toilet Bowl Cleaner you can get the porcelain looking like new again, albeit chips etc will not be removed.
Spokane County Bans Phoshates
Spokane County in July adopted a near total ban on sales of water-softening phosphates in dishwasher detergent -- the first in the nation -- in an attempt to slow the flood of pollutants that is sucking oxygen out of the endangered Spokane River, smothering its fish.
The problem, Marcotte and many of her neighbors say, is that most low-phosphate detergents are wimps when it comes to fighting greasy pots and spaghetti-crusted plates. So she has become a detergent outlaw, driving 45 minutes across the Idaho state line to pick up secret stashes of the old, bad dish cleansers: the brutish Cascades, the muscular Electrasols.

Ore. bill would ban algae-abetting dishwasher soap
By Joseph Rose, The Oregonian
March 30, 2009, 8:54PM
The Senate voted Monday to ban dishwasher detergents with high amounts of phosphorous, bringing Oregon in line with a dozen other states, including Washington.
Phosphorous has long been regulated in cleaning agents such as laundry detergent, but until now dishwasher soaps have gotten a pass.
Environmentalists have been working hard over the past few years to convince states to tighten controls on the substance, which promotes the growth of algae blooms in rivers, lakes and ground water. The blooms essentially steal the oxygen from the water, suffocating other aquatic life.
