Cleaners to use for shower and sink

I have a 2018 25res and wondering what to clean the shower and sink in bathroom as they are plastic. I don’t want to use anything harsh that would make them brittle and crack. Any suggestions?

Aqua-clean by Thetford is what I use. I was worried about harsh chemicals too. Now once in a while I use Soft Scrub in the shower stall to get soap grim and all off. It is safe for mobile home showers so I figure using sparsely will be ok in rv.

Mine had stickers about cleaning etc, when purchased new. I went to all the listed web sites to look at suggestions and warnings and ended up putting a can of Scubbing Bubbles in the RV. It was one thing specifically mentioned as safe by all the manufacturers. I remember it well because I was surprised. We rented a house some twenty years ago and almost every bath knob, clear plastic arylic I think, fell apart. It was blamed on Scrubbing bubbles . I guess something changed.

Bar Keepers Freind or Soft Scrub is what we use. That Thetford product, although have never used it, is probably Soft Scrub in a different container sold at rv stores for twice or 3 times the price. If it says for rvs the price goes up on any & every thing.

The Thetford product I purchased is not gritty like Bar Keepers or Soft Scrub. It is a spray.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for stains and Gel-Gloss spray cleaner wax will keep it looking like new for years. Avoid long exposure to harsh cleaners on anodized aluminum frames, once the finish is gone it is impossible to keep clean. Works well on kitchen sink, faucets and counter tops too. Bar keeps friend is best for stainless hands down.

Had not thought of that. I use it on all the rubber slide seals & rubber gaskets throughout.

Does the furniture polish work better, in your estimation, than baby powder or have you tried it?

I have a shower curtain so the water does not touch the glass. One less thing to clean.
