In The Battle For Clean

Through trial and error I've found that although I prefer to use natural based cleaners, my bathtub area needs a non natural cleaner.  I bring this up only because I just wiped down my bath and shower area and walls and the smell of the cleaner (VIM if you're following along at home... "lemon" yellow) is SO overpowering I've turned on my big air purifier in my main living area and the small one from my bedroom is in the bathroom on full blast trying to soak up the scent.  Yikes.

I actually came up with this potential solution/fix in the bath last night.  I was in there and noticed it was time for a cleaning (hello orange mold stuff, ew bye!) and was like "oh, last time it was SO strong I had to leave my apartment... what if I don't want to leave my apartment, what could I do... oh maybe use the air purifiers and see if they reduce the smell faster?"

So... here we are.

My shower area is cleaner than it was and I'm hoping the smell will dissipate faster than the last few times.  

And I looked, the only other version of that product I might use has bleach, which I have almost an allergy to so it seems like this lemon version is the least offensive that I can use.

And yes, I have tried the "baking soda and whatever" options but sometimes you just gotta go full chemical, you know?
