I use softscrub for most of my cleaning. I use it on my laminate counter tops as well as my ceramic tile backsplash. Also bathtub as the manufacturer recommended nothing more abrasive than that. Use a rag vs a sponge though when using. Sponge really holds the suds well when trying to rinse the surface. A rag rinses much cleaner, thus the wiping of excess/residue of the softscrub is easier with a rag.
