Question from Kelly
I’m looking for something to take off calcium deposits in the tub and around the sink faucents. I’m wondering if using CLR poses many hazards? It’s touted as “natural”, but I’m always cautious. I chemical sensitive, but could have my cleaning lady use and I stay out. I’ve tried some of the lime sprays and pumice stone without luck. Any advice would be welcome.
Debra’s Answer
The CLR MSDS states that it contains Propylene Glycol Normal Butyl Ether, which is a pretty toxic chemical.
