surfaces with Brightly Green All-Purpose Degreaser.

clutter if not attended too and the laundry room is no exception. Organize shelves, and cupboards, discarding
used products. Items that are out of
place should find their proper homes.

baggie and wipe shower head clean.
Kitchen and bathroom faucet areas can be descaled by pouring Brightly

faucets. If you want to descale the
kitchen and bathroom faucet heads themselves; do the same process as you do for
the shower heads.
