Mafic bathroom cleaner is an effective cleaning product specifically designed for bathroom use. This cleaner is formulated with powerful ingredients that help to remove tough stains, dirt, and grime from various surfaces in the bathroom. It is especially effective in tackling soap scum, hard water stains, and mildew. The main ingredient in Mafic bathroom cleaner is a blend of surfactants, which work together to break down and loosen dirt and grime. These surfactants have the ability to penetrate the surface and lift away even the toughest stains. Additionally, the cleaner contains citric acid, which helps to dissolve mineral deposits and remove soap scum.
Witch-hunts in early modern Europe (circa 1450-1750)
In this article we will take a look at the European witch hunts of circa 1450-1750, and their gender-selective aspects. Although both men and women were accused and executed for witchcraft in Europe during this era, roughly 75%-80% of those exposed to trial and execution were women.
It should be noted that when we study the pre-modern European witch craze, we find great variation over time and between different regions of Europe. The frenzy of the witch-hunts waxed and waned for roughly 300 years, and the dynamics – including gender-dynamics – could also vary greatly from one locality to the next. As an example, we know of only four executions for witchcraft in Ireland, while over 25,000 witches were killed in Germany. (Source: Jenny Gibbons, “Recent Developments in the Study of the Great European Witch Hunt”.) In England, over 90% of those accused of witchcraft were women, while Estonia had women accounting for less than half of those accused, and in Iceland only 10% of those accused of witchcraft were women. (Source: Robin Briggs, “Witches & Neighbours: The Social and Cultural Context of European Witchcraft”, pp. 260-61.)
The immense over-representation of women as victims in witch-trials and witch-executions in England (and in its colonies in North America) is probably one of the reasons why the English-speaking world tend to strongly associate witches, witch-trials and with-hunts with female victims. In essence, the English regional experience has been assumed, at least by English-speakers, to be typical for Europe as a whole.
Additionally, the cleaner contains citric acid, which helps to dissolve mineral deposits and remove soap scum. Mafic bathroom cleaner is safe to use on a wide range of bathroom surfaces, including porcelain, ceramic, fiberglass, and chrome. It can be used on sinks, toilets, shower stalls, bathtubs, and other bathroom fixtures.
Were 9 million women burned as witches?
Is it true that 9 million women were burned as witches in Europe from the 14th to the 17th century CE? It is a frequently quoted number in non-academic literature, but it is not based on solid academic research. Instead, modern research points to roughly 40,000 to 50,000 witch executions in Europe between 1450 and 1750, and an estimated 75%-80% of those executed were women. That would put the number of executed women witches at 40,000 or less.
“The most dramatic [recent] changes in our vision of the Great Hunt [have] centred on the death toll,” notes researcher Jenny Gibbons, who points out that estimates made prior to the mid-1970s, when detailed research into trial records began, were almost 100% pure speculation. (Source: Jenny Gibbons, “Recent Developments in the Study of the Great European Witch Hunt”.)
One of the researchers who have worked to unveil and publish more accurate numbers is Robin Briggs.
“On the wilder shores of the feminist and witch-cult movements,” writes Briggs, “a potent myth has become established, to the effect that 9 million women were burned as witches in Europe; gendercide rather than genocide. This is an overestimate by a factor of up to 200, for the most reasonable modern estimates suggest perhaps 100,000 trials between 1450 and 1750, with something between 40,000 and 50,000 executions, of which 20 to 25 per cent were men. (…) “these figures are chilling enough, but they have to be set in the context of what was probably the harshest period of capital punishments in European history.” (Source: Robin Briggs, “Witches & Neighbours: The Social and Cultural Context of European Witchcraft”, p.8)
Researcher Brian Levack put the number of witch trials at approximately 110,000. It should be noted that this number is for trials, not convictions or executions. In many cases, Levack found evidence that a trial had occurred, but could not find information about its outcome. (Source: Brian Levack, “The Witch-Hunt in Early Modern Europe”)

Reviews for "Mafic bathroom cleaner: the secret weapon for a beautiful bathroom"
1. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the Mafic bathroom cleaner. It claimed to be a powerful solution for tough stains and grime, but it did not live up to its promises. I had to use a significant amount of the cleaner and still found that it didn't do much to remove stubborn stains. Additionally, the scent was overpowering and unpleasant. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product.
2. Mark - 1/5 stars - I had high hopes for the Mafic bathroom cleaner, but it fell flat. It was not effective in removing soap scum and grime from my bathroom surfaces. I tried using it multiple times, following the instructions carefully, but it just didn't deliver the results I was expecting. On top of that, the chemical smell was too strong and lingered in the bathroom long after I used it. I would not purchase this product again.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars - I purchased the Mafic bathroom cleaner hoping it would be a good solution for cleaning my tiles and grout. However, I was disappointed with its performance. The cleaner didn't effectively remove the grime and stains, even after multiple attempts. I found that I had to scrub really hard to see any significant improvement. Additionally, the packaging was not user-friendly, and I struggled to pour the cleaner without causing a mess. I would not recommend this product as there are better options available.
