Refill Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner for $1.00

Step 4 Refill your old Refill

Now that you've got the liquid, it's time to get it into the old refill container.

The refills have a screw on cap that when you un-twist feels like a child safety lock. It isn't. Just keep unscrewing and it will pop off.

Now pour in your $1.00 cleaner into the refill.

If you examine the cap on the container you will see that a new refill doesn't have the hole punctured. That's so when you flip the refill into the automatic shower cleaner it doesn't spill out, the shower cleaner punches the hole.

To solve the problem, just take your shower cleaner off the shower head and flip it instead of the container!

Now put the unit back on your shower head.

Yes it's D.I. water, but it's also something else (other than a little polyproplylene glycol or some analog of that) that amazingly inhibits mold without putting free radical chlorine in your bathroom air or eating your marble. The advice to not be in there when it goes off should still be well-heeded. Dow funded a bit of research on it, the rest got done otherwise. The other green alternative might be to keep Chinese Guinea Fowl around to eat bad insects and mold that arise, like the butterfly-house facilities do. But then how would you get that reverse gear alarm sound?

I have cut a hole in the top end and poured various shower cleaners . . . the problem seems to be that 1) other cleaners don't work as well, especially on the mold and mildew (yes I've tried a bleach solution and 2) some shower cleaners seem to deteriorate the spraying mechanism on the unit and then you are in the position of having to shell out for another sprayer. I've decided that for the $3.00 for the bottle it's cheaper than paying someone else to clean the gross bathtub and I certainly don't want to do it myself!

What about punching or drilling a hole on top of the bottle, fill the bottle, then put a stopper in it? That's what I'm thinking of doing. I can't, for the life of me, get that darn cap off!

I have it good authority (usually the back of the bottle) that almost all cleaners are 97% or more water anyways.

I have it on very good authority that the dollar store cleaners are 99% water. If all you're worried about is mold, try using a bleach solution.
