Default What works as well as DOW scrubbing bubbles, but doesn't clog?

This is my second big can of Dow scrubbing bubbles bathtub cleaner
that has clogged when almost full.

I'm not crazy about the smell and I don't always use it to clean the
bathtub.

But it does work, without scratching my enamel tub. Is there another
good cleaner that works easily that woun't clog like this does.

Or is there a good way to unclog this. I'm pretty sure I tried hard
with the last can, but I'm willing to try again, especially if you
have a suggestion. It will dribble a little out of the tube, with
the nozzle removed, but so far it doesnt' shoot like I'd expect. I
can soak the nozzle and I save old good nozzles in the basement.


Get the plastic jugs that you have to squeeze the trigger on, instead.
They don't foam up as dramatically as the spray cans, but after sitting
ten minutes, they work just as well. I've had trouble with the spray
cans as well. Have you tried spraying upside down to clear the nozzle
before putting back on the shelf? I suspect crap in the pipe allows the
cans to leak down. Maybe they should put a schrader valve on them to top
off the pressure.
