How do I use Ultra Pro Bathroom Mitt?Updated 4 hours ago

TL;DR: There are two ways to use Ultra Pro Bathroom Mitt with Bathroom & Shower Cleaner. Either lather on the fluffy block-colour side and then scrub with the striped side, or spray the cleaner straight onto the surface and scrub. Both work. What matters is letting the cleaner dwell for a few minutes before you rinse, so it can break down soap scum and grime.

How do I use Ultra Pro Bathroom Mitt?

Two methods, both work. Option 1: spray Bathroom and Shower Cleaner onto the fluffy lather side (the block-colour side), work it into a foam with small circular motions, then flip to the striped side to scrub. Better for taps, glass and tiles. Option 2: spray Bathroom and Shower Cleaner directly onto the surface and scrub with the striped side. Better for tough grime, soap scum, corners and grout. To put the mitt on, slip your hand inside and split your fingers however feels comfortable. An internal stitch helps hold your hand in place, and we suggest thumb and index finger on one side with the remaining fingers on the other. The elasticated cuff keeps it snug and the 4 mm water-resistant PU foam lining keeps your hand dry.

✓ Option 1: lather first

Spray Bathroom & Shower Cleaner onto the fluffy lather side (the block-colour side) of the mitt and work it into a foam with small circular motions. Good for building lather on taps, glass and tiles before you flip to the striped side to scrub.

✓ Option 2: spray the surface

Spray Bathroom & Shower Cleaner straight onto the surface and scrub with the striped side. The cleaner still foams up as you work. Best for tougher grime, soap scum, corners and grout lines.

✓ Putting the mitt on

Slip your hand inside and split your fingers however feels most comfortable. There is no fixed glove orientation, though an internal stitch helps hold your hand in place and we find thumb and index finger on one side with the remaining fingers on the other is the most comfortable. The elasticated cuff keeps the mitt snug and the 4 mm water-resistant PU foam lining keeps your hand dry.

✓ Which side does what

The 600 GSM plush face lathers. The 500 GSM striped ground-yarn face scrubs and buffs. Both are non-scratch, so tiles, glass and enamel are safe. Full breakdown in what the mitt is made from.

What do I do after scrubbing?

Four steps. Let Bathroom and Shower Cleaner dwell on the surface for a few minutes so the formula can break down soap scum and grime. Rinse thoroughly with a spray or shower head until the water runs clear. Squeegee glass and tiles to take off the bulk of the water. Buff away any remaining moisture with a dry Ultra Pro Cloth for a streak-free finish. The dwell step is the one most people skip, and it is the step that does the heavy lifting.

Step-by-step finish

1

Let the cleaner dwell for a few minutes on the surface. This is how the formula breaks down soap scum and grime.

2

Rinse the surface thoroughly with a spray or shower head until the water runs clear.

3

Use a Bathroom Squeegee on glass and tiles to take off the bulk of the water.

4

Buff away any remaining moisture with a dry Ultra Pro Cloth for a clean, streak-free result.

✓ Why dwell time matters

Bathroom & Shower Cleaner needs a few minutes to work on built-up scum. Scrubbing and rinsing straight away skips the step that does the heavy lifting. Let it sit, then scrub and rinse.

How do I look after the mitt between uses?

After each use, rinse the mitt under warm water until the water runs clear, squeeze gently without twisting, and hang it to air-dry somewhere ventilated rather than a damp cupboard. For machine washing, run a cool cycle with a mild liquid detergent free of dyes, fragrances, bleach and softeners. No bleach, no fabric softener, no iron and no high-heat drying. Wash with non-linting items only, never cotton, because cotton sheds fibres that clog the microfibre loops. Wash it separately on the first cycle, as some dye may run.

Rinse clear No twisting Air-dry

⚠ Machine wash rules

Cool cycle with Sensitive Laundry Liquid. No bleach, no fabric softener, no iron. Wash with non-linting items only, never cotton. Wash it separately on the first cycle, since some dye may run. See washing before first use.

Cool cycle No bleach No cotton No iron

What if the mitt is not foaming or is leaving streaks?

Check three things. Dampen the mitt under warm water before you apply product, since dry microfibre does not lather well. Use the fluffy block-colour side to lather rather than the striped side. Apply enough Bathroom and Shower Cleaner directly onto the mitt. If the surface is coming up streaky, rinse it fully before you buff, and ease off the amount of cleaner, because a little goes a long way with absorbent fibres. If the mitt is too wet to buff the surface dry, finish with a dry Ultra Pro Cloth.

✓ Quick checks

Dampen the mitt first, lather on the fluffy side, and apply enough Bathroom & Shower Cleaner directly onto the mitt. If the surface looks streaky, rinse it fully before buffing and use less cleaner. Too wet to buff dry? Finish with a dry Ultra Pro Cloth. More fixes in Ultra Pro Bathroom Mitt troubleshooting.
