I like the idea of the Avon bubble bath! Hey, might as well get the bike clean, and clean the bathroom at the same time, correct?

Yeah, I don't use the dishwasher for cycling-related things ... I've never owned a dishwasher! I will add though that the tub is the perfect width to balance the rear tire across so you can clean the cassette.
And Avon bubble bath is supposed to be good for cleaning all sorts of things without damaging them. I found it did a good job of cleaning off my bicycle, and since it is bubble bath, it meant that I wasn't pouring harmful chemicals down the drain or anything ... I was using something designed to be used in a tub!
The bubble bath, plus a bit of a bleach-based bathroom cleanser, and any black spots from the bicycle on the tub and surround were easily removed.
