Now we have a little one in the house full time I am constantly looking for cool stuff for her – for stimulation and improvement of cognitive abilities – and easiness on my wife and I. Shower/Tub paint is soooo expensive. I found this and have tried it – very easy to clean and you know what is in it so no need to worry.
