    Guide Review - Clorox BathWand

    Tub and shower cleaning is tedious housework. Some might call it a drudge. For people with arthritis, the reaching and scrubbing required can push them beyond their physical limits.

    Long-handled cleaning tools and cleaning agents which are powerful enough to do the job without a lot of scrubbing make tub and shower cleaning a much easier task. The Clorox BathWand has an ergonomic design, including a 23 inch handle which provides a comfortable reach. The disposable cleaning pads which fit the Clorox BathWand are pre-loaded with Clorox cleaning agents. Just add a little water to the pad to activate the cleaning agent and you're ready to make your tub and shower sparkle.

    You won't need buckets, sponges, or cleaner upon cleaner that doesn't work. The Clorox BathWand is ready to go. Get the job done while reducing knee and back strain.

    I have tried the product. I like the product because it does what it claims to do. It's a better way to clean. The starter kit comes with a 23 inch handle (two pieces which you twist together before the first use), a storage hook, and 2 disposable pads pre-loaded with cleaner. My recommendation is that you should try the product yourself. I think you will be impressed.
