I recently moved to a new place that, while great-looking in all other respects, had an appallingly dingy-looking tub. It looked so bad and so defied my attempts to scrub it white with other products, I was afraid I'd have to hire a professional restorer (but the cost and thought of dealing with a time-consuming, two-visit, toxic-sounding process put me off).

Then I bought and tried Zap! and tried it for the first time today. It worked GREAT. I poured some out, did an initial light scrubbing with a two-sided sponge, then poured more down the sides of the tub, and let it sit for a half-hour on the sides and bottom of the tub. At the end of the half hour, I was able to literally wipe away the gray dinginess and white soap scum with a regular paper towel! -- I was so amazed, my jaw dropped. There's truly a night and day difference in how the tub looked before and after.

An added advantage to the stuff: though it works like gangbusters, it seems gentle in other ways, compared to other heavy-duty cleaners. The smell is surprisingly mild and non-irritating (actually, I thought it smelled similar to Pepto-Bismol!). As a further sign of its gentleness: I started out wearing gloves while using it, but when I finished up the wipe-down with a damp paper towel, I went ahead and left off the gloves; that's how mild the product seems to be to skin.

I'd definitely buy Zap! cleaner/restorer again if I needed it.

(p.s. I bought this product in a smaller size, but apart from that, I assume it's the same as the gallon jug pictured here)

I have hard water, and over time, my bathtub and toilet had stains that couldn't be removed with any amount of elbow grease. I tried various cleaners (CLR, Lime-Away among others) which did not handle the stains.

One application of Zap, and my toilet and bathtub are now WHITE (with no scrubbing). Finally a product that actually lives up to its advertising.

Since I'd rather read than clean house and since I have two potbellied pigs as housepets, the grout between my kitchen stone tiles got way ahead of me. I tried several other cleaners with poor results. Believe it or not, this stuff sat in my cupboard for two years before I abandoned negative thinking and decided to give it a try. Wow! My husband and I could not believe the results. Yes, I had to use it full strength, and yes, I had to let it sit for ten minutes but the outcome was worth it. What emerged was clean, like new grout. Now, since I am not a piggy for punishment, I plan to seal the grout and hopefully not have to deal with this mess again.

I purchased Zap years ago and have been guarding the quantity carefully, only using it when I had company coming, because it works so well and I couldn't find it in stores. I am thrilled to be able to purchase a large quantity. I hope this company stays in business as long as I'm around. It saves me time and energy like nothing else I've found.

After multiple efforts and lots of elbow grease, this product did nothing except create a mess between the rubber gloves, the never-use-again cloths, etc. Do NOT buy this!

I bought the ZAP prouduct years ago from an infomercial and the product cleaned my grout and tiles so that they looked like new. This product made my grout look worse and it left a sticky residue. Not sure if this is the genuine product. I do not recommend it.
