According to a survey of 2,000 British adults, the average person will spend 416 days of their life in the bathroom.¹

The good news?

Keeping it sparkling clean needn’t take as long or involve a tonne of products.

All you really need is a good bathroom cleaner spray that can tackle things like soap scum, water marks, toothpaste splatters and stubborn limescale.

And luckily, that’s exactly what smol Bathroom Spray was designed to do.

What makes a good bathroom cleaner?

A bathroom cleaner needs to deal with several different types of grime at once:

  • Limescale from hard water
  • Soap scum from shower gels and soaps
  • Toothpaste splashes
  • Water marks
  • General bathroom dirt and dust

And the best ones will break down these deposits so they can be wiped away with ease.

That's why smol Bathroom Spray uses a powerful foaming formula. The foam clings to surfaces for longer, helping the cleaning ingredients stay where they're needed instead of immediately running down the drain.

What can you use smol Bathroom Spray on?


Bathroom Spray can be used on most sealed bathroom surfaces. We’re talking sinks, baths, shower trays and screens, taps, tiles and toilets.

For best results:

  1. Spray onto the surface
  2. Leave for a short time if tackling heavier build-up
  3. Wipe clean with a damp cloth
  4. Buff dry if you want extra shine on taps and glass

How to tackle limescale and soap scum.

Limescale and soap scum are often the biggest culprits behind a dull-looking bathroom.

For light build-up.

  1. Spray the affected area
  2. Leave for a minute or two
  3. Wipe away with a cloth

For heavy build-up.

  1. Apply a generous layer of foam
  2. Leave for several minutes
  3. Wipe or gently scrub if needed
  4. Repeat if necessary

N.B. Regular cleaning helps prevent deposits building up in the first place, making future cleans much quicker.

Why choose a refillable bathroom cleaner?

Most bathroom sprays are mostly water and often contain far more ingredients than necessary.
