Cleaning bathroom & toilet

Safari Tim · 06-30-2003, 08:40 PM

What is safe to use on the sink and toilet in my '71 Safari.

The sink and counter is that molded fiberglass stuff.

The toilet says to use only special cleaners and I assume you don't use bleach.

Just wondering what everyone else uses?

Greetings Safari Tim!

For light soiling, I utilize Murphy's Oil Soap as it is kind to all surfaces and leaves a clean, fresh scent. For heavier soiling on both the fiberglass in the shower/tub and on the ABS in the vanity and toilet, I use a product called The Works that I purchase at Wal Mart - - - it is a special clearner designed for fiberglass and plastic that is non-abrasive and cleans effectively.

Kevin,

That sounds soooo professional, I don't know what to say.

I discovered Murphy's Oil Soap years back and love the stuff. Its not harsh, not abrasive, works great for really dirty laundry and I can't say enough good about it. Great Stuff for almost anything. Haven't tried it on the dog yet..........

Our's had stains that no cleaner would get out so when my wife wasn't looking I used 600 grit sand paper, sanded out the stains then waxed it with fiberglass wax.
Hope you don't have to go to this extreem but I did solve the problem.

Never thought of using the Oil Soap on the fiberglass things. I will try it today as we are going to Lake Tahoe next week.

We do use spray on silicone in the toilet bowl before each trip while it is dry. The plastic is a little rough and this makes it easier to clean. It also works in the sink and on top of the counter. I don't recommend it for the shower though.
