A: Although Soft Scrub Gel with Bleach Cleaner has not been discontinued, according to the representatives I spoke with, it is an elusive product that’s playing hard to get. One rep told me it was only available on Amazon, but you have to buy multiple bottles, while another said that availability was spotty at best. However, I found it at Publix, 4403 Towne Lake Parkway, 770-516-2040. It comes in a 28.6-ounce squeeze bottle and sells for $3.99.
