Diluent: CAS #7732-18-5. Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a water treatment process that removes contaminants from water by passing the water through a membrane, (filter), where contaminants are filtered out yielding more pure quality water.
Chelating Agent: CAS #79-33-4. Lactic acid is found in many yogurts and cheeses. It is also produced in the muscles during intense activity. Commercially, it is produced by fermentation of simple sugars. In cleaning products it functions as a chelating agent; a compound that makes metals more soluble in water. As part of the EPA Safer Choice Program, it has been evaluated and determined to be safer than traditional chemical ingredients.
Surfactant: CAS #1643-20-5. Used in cleaners to modify the surface tension of water, to aid in even spreading and to allow mixing with oil and dirt so that they can be rinsed away; it is included in many soaps, detergents, and several groups of antiseptics. As part of the EPA Safer Choice Program, it has been evaluated and determined to be safer than traditional chemical ingredients.
Solvent: CAS #55934-93-5. Used to slow down the evaporation of many liquid products including oven cleaners and inks for ball-point and felt-tip pens.

Although they both come from the fine CLR Brands® family, they are formulated differently and solve different cleaning problems. Brilliant Bath Free & Clear is designed for common bathroom buildup such as calcium, lime, hard water deposits, and soap scum. Calcium, Lime and Rust Remover in the gray bottle is formulated for rust removal and other applications. Always check each product label for approved surfaces and instructions.
Always use Brilliant Bath in a well-ventilated area while wearing household rubber gloves and test a hidden area of the surface before beginning to clean. When cleaning, apply the solution to a clean damp cloth, sponge, brush or directly to the surface to be cleaned, allow the foam time to work and then rinse with clean, cold water. Never leave the solution on a surface for more than two or three minutes. If the stain persists, repeat the process. Do not mix Brilliant Bath Free & Clear with bleach or other cleaners, and never reuse the empty bottle.
The Brilliant Bath can be used on faucets made of chrome or stainless steel and should not be used on any other finishes. Do not use it on bronze, oil-rubbed bronze, nickel, brushed nickel, brass, copper, or other specialty finishes, as it may damage or discolor the surface. Instead, use Tarn-X® Tarnish Remover, a specialty product designed specifically for those materials.
No. It is only safe to use on white grout. If used on colored grout it will lighten the grout color over time or discolor.
No. Do not use Brilliant Bath Free & Clear on marble, synthetic marble, or other natural stone surfaces. The active ingredients can react with these materials and may cause damage. If you need to clean marble, granite, or other natural stone surfaces, use CLR Clean & Clear Stone that is specifically formulated for those materials.
No, Brilliant Bath should not be used in the washing machine or dishwasher. The detergents in the product may foam excessively when agitated. Use Calcium, Lime, and Rust Remover in the gray bottle for these applications. The Brilliant Bath does not contain the ingredient necessary to remove rust, only our Calcium, Lime, and Rust Remover in the gray container does.
Do not use Brilliant Bath Free & Clear on surfaces that are not listed on the product label. Avoid using it on vinyl, natural stone, mirrors, plastic laminates, wood, fabrics, painted, coated or sealed surfaces, colored grout, wall coverings, bronze, nickel, brass, copper, or other specialty finishes. When in doubt, test a small hidden area first and rinse promptly after use.
