AsteriskRating Disclaimer

Reviewing products, like reviewing movies or restaurants, is arguably a subjective process (even for well-funded consumer groups) based on the review criteria (what the reviewer considers important) and the unique perspective of the reviewer. Thus, when considering The Housekeeping Channel's reviews, please do not use the numerical product ratings (e.g., "9.5 out of 10") for direct product comparison purposes since these represent the unique 'take' of each reviewer, and will often vary qualitatively and quantitatively from product to product.

Do rely on the text of the reviews for issues to consider when purchasing similar products, and do consider the scientific data supplied (for example, information from the Carpet and Rug Institute's Seal of Approval-related research) that will help you in your decision making process. We believe the "truth" about products can only be discovered by weighing, then averaging, a number of factors and credible viewpoints based on available resources and science, then making buying decisions based on what is important to you.

Pros

  • The Clorox BathWand prevents much of the bending and stooping normally required to clean a tub and shower.
  • The Clorox BathWand refill scrubbing pads are loaded with effective cleaner and do a good job on surfaces.

Cons

  • Clorox BathWand may not eliminate all stretching, especially for those with tall shower stalls.
  • Clorox BathWand may not be tough enough to kill and remove mildew stains.

When I want to clean the tub, the best way to start is to actually get into the tub. I’ve tried bending over the side of it to scrub all the corners and fixtures, but it’s slightly dangerous to balance over the side while I scrub away dirt, grime and mildew. Even in the tub, I still feel as though it is a workout of bending and stretching.

The Clorox BathWand helps to eliminate that workout. The Clorox BathWand Starter Kit comes with a 23-inch handle, a cleaning head that attaches to the handle, two disposable scrubber pads and a separate S hook that allows the BathWand to be hung from the shower head.

The BathWand takes less than a minute to assemble and is very easy to use. Snap the handle into the cleaning head and stick the fluffy side of the cleaning pad onto the bottom. Wet the pad to activate the cleaning solution and begin scrubbing. Continue scrubbing and rinsing as needed. When you’re finished, just toss the pad in the trash and store the BathWand.

The Clorox BathWand cleaning pads have enough Clorox cleaning solution in them that even rinsing several times left me with plenty to clean the entire bath and shower area. The cleaning head is shaped like a pie piece, allowing it to creep into the nooks and crannies of the bathtub. The extra 23 inches of the handle do allow a lot of bending and stretching to be eliminated, but those with tall showers may still need to stretch to reach the top.

Clorox BathWand is available at most grocery and drugstores. The starter kit contains the BathWand and two scrubbing pads; a refill kit contains five scrubbing pads.
