Universal Cleaner vs. Bathroom & Shower Cleaner: What’s the Difference?Updated 5 days ago

Both pack a punch 💥 but they’re designed for different cleaning missions. Whether you're new to Koh or just not sure which to use where, here's the ultimate guide to choosing the right cleaner for your bathroom and beyond.

🚿 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 with a foamy, rinse-off clean. 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.

💡 For Beginners: What Should I Start With?

If you're new to Koh, we recommend starting with a Starter Kit featuring Universal Cleaner. It’s all many customers ever need!
