      The container says: less than 5% non-ionic surfactants, soap, lemon fragrance (limonese, linalool). it’s called ScrubDaddy Power Paste Natural Household Cleanser. You can find it on Amazon. Mine came with a ScrubMommy.

    It looks like the brush is a Rubbermaid style battery scrubbing brush. Pink Stuff is another good power paste.
