The Bath Enclosure Manufactures Association recommends Comet Non Abrasive Bathroom Cleaner, by Procter & Gamble. It was tested to be the most effective cleaner, while still being gentle on the glass & metal surfaces of an enclosure.

BEMA has sponsored a series of tests by an independent testing firm to determine which bathroom cleaners are both effective at removing soap scum and gentle on the finish of the metal hardware that frames the bath enclosure. The latest study was completed in May 1997.

The following represents the final results of that study, with Comet ranking the highest:

1. Comet Non Abrasive Cleaner (11.5)

2. Lysol Basin Tub & Tile Cleaner (11)

3. Tilex Soap Scum Remover (9.5)

4. Dow Disinfectant Bathroom Cleaner (9)

5. Lime Away Everyday Bathroom Cleaner (9)

6. Fantastic With Bleach (8.5)

7. Formula 409 All Purpose Cleaner (8)

8. X-14 Soap Scum Remover (5)
