Clorox Green Works Natural Bathroom Cleaner

I was surprised at how effective it was on soap scum and mild rust stains. Clorox Green Works Bathroom Cleaner didn't leave a sticky residue on bathroom surfaces, but instead left a nice polished shine. I'll have to admit that I was a little surprised that a bathroom cleaner made mostly from lemon oil, coconuts, and byproducts of sugar, could clean so effectively, but it did. What really disappointed me was that although the formula was effective at cleaning, and naturally derived as it claimed, it was not as safe to use around my family as I would have liked.

Even though this product is derived from natural ingredients, be sure to ventilate and protect skin and eyes. The glycolic acid does a great job of penetrating tough stains and scum, but you don't want this irritant on your skin or in your eyes.

After reading the packaging, I thought I had heard of glycolic acid before. Sure enough it's a main ingredient in many chemical peel and microderm abrasion products. It is derived naturally, but it is still a major irritant, so be careful with this cleaner.

For me, as a mother of a toddler who consistently finds her way to play in the bathroom, I wondered if this product might provide irritation to my family.

Truly Clorox Green Works Bathroom cleaner works, and works well. It is less of an irritant than many other bathroom cleaners on the market.

It is made from naturally derived ingredients, but the potential for irritation is disappointing given the mildness and effectiveness of some of the other Green Works cleaners.
