🚿 Meet the Contenders

💚 Universal Cleaner

  • A spray, wipe, and no-rinse formula for everyday messes.
  • Works brilliantly across most household surfaces: countertops, appliances, walls, and yes - bathrooms too!
  • Loved by tens of thousands of Koh customers for its quick, efficient, streak-free finish.
  • No water needed just spray and go.

💙 Bathroom & Shower Cleaner

  • An enzyme-powered, foaming formula designed to break down soap scum and bathroom grime.
  • Requires a rinse or sponge-off after use think of it as a deep-cleaning foam bath for your bathroom.
  • Best for glass, tiles, showers, bathtubs, and tapware.
  • Fragrance-free, with the option to add a few drops of essential oil (no citrus, please!).

🧪 Why Do We Offer Both?

Because we listened and learned 🧠✨

Originally, Universal Cleaner was our only hero product. But many customers told us they wanted something that could tackle stubborn bathroom grime. Enter Bathroom & Shower Cleaner. It’s the perfect partner to Universal Cleaner, not a replacement.


🛁 Which One Should I Use in the Bathroom?

Honestly, it’s up to you.

  • Prefer a quick clean without rinsing? Use Universal Cleaner.
  • Need to tackle soap scum, build-up, or want that foamy deep clean? Go with Bathroom & Shower Cleaner.

If you're not seeing the results you want with Universal, it might be time to level up your bathroom game with the enzyme-powered foam.


✨ Final Word

At the end of the day, both are highly effective. It’s all about your cleaning style whether you like a quick swipe or a thorough scrub.

Either way, you're in for a powerful, planet-friendly clean. 🌍🧽
