Soft Scrub Cleaner

What is Soft Scrub Cleaner?

Soft Scrub is a cream cleaner used for heavy-duty scrubbing on sinks, tubs, and kitchen surfaces. It’s known for its abrasive texture, which helps to remove tough stains. Some versions contain bleach, which can release strong fumes and cause respiratory or skin irritation.

Why do I have an intolerance?

The bleach and other active chemicals in Soft Scrub can release chlorine gas if mixed with other acidic cleaners, which can cause coughing, eye irritation, and difficulty breathing. Individuals with asthma or sensitive skin are more likely to experience reactions when exposed to its fumes or residues.

What can I do about it?

To minimize exposure, wear gloves and open windows when using Soft Scrub, and avoid mixing it with other cleaners, especially those containing ammonia or acids. For those sensitive to bleach, opt for non-bleach formulas or natural abrasives like baking soda as an alternative.
