Cleaning Products for the Home

1) Steam, lots of steam, I love my Karcher steam cleaner for almost everything. i mean, I REALLY love it, I love it more than sliced bread, more than my own life, more than chocolate (no, wait... I love chocolate more)

2) Scrubbing bubbles shower cleaner (that clear spray that has a lovely scent to spray after the shower and (try to) prevent hard water stains (at least it minimizes the problem.

3) CLR

4) Bar Keeper's Friend (The powder and the spray versions)

5) Bruce Hardwood and laminate cleaner

6) Bissell Swiffer Steamboost pads (lavender) I use them with the Bissell Symphony and it works great.

7)Bissell I forgot the name of the liquid that you mix with water and put in the spinwave. I use it go tive the final touch on my laminate floors.

8) Windex

9) Rubbing alcohol (as higher degree as possible., great to remove marks.

I also have one of those pump bottles with a mixture of Lysol concentrate (that super strong and stinky thing, just a few drops), Grease relief (just a little bit) and water. It works better than 409 as a multi purpose cleaner.

10) Easy off Professional oven cleaner (No I never use it in the oven) but it's great to pretreat pans that are horribly burnt. spray, let it work for 2 minutes only and rinse very well before it goes to the dishwasher.

Bar Keeper's Spray

 

<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">I didn't know this existing until I read it here.  I've never seen it in the grocery store but they had it at Home Depot yesterday.  I bought a bottle and I really like it.  I used it on the kitchen sink and it's amazing how well and how quickly it worked.  When I use the powder I have to rinse and rinse.  This seemed to rinse off fairly quickly.</span>

Has anyone used Fuller Brush Co. or Stanley products recently? My mom used to order them many years ago and I was wondering on their current state of effectiveness/quality.

Due to the fact that my child is allergic, I try to use organic detergents such as Young Living or TriNova

I keep things kind of simple.. I think?

I don't have a giant arsenal of cleaning products, and now that I think of it..really no commercially made spray on products.
Lye soap is used for ALL kinds of general cleaning and degreasing.
Bon Ami
BarKeepers Friend
Vinegar
Clear ammonia
TSP occasionally used to soak & clean out stainless steel coffee pot.
Liquid Gold for furniture (pourable version)
I dont use Comet or Ajax cleanser, I dont think either bleach like they use to.
Instead, for something like cleaning my old porcelain kitchen sink.. I pour a little Clorox (splash less) and some Bon Ami. Scrub let sit, and rinse.
I live in a old house, so if I see rust (old bathroom sink) I go for BarKeepers Freind
I have a bottle of Citra Solve concentrate that I rarely use.. Maybe use straight (little on a cloth) to remove tree sap.
So I guess I've gone kind of green? Just some basic chemicals that have been around for 100 years, no artificial Scents

I use a lot of Zep chemicals, their toilet bowl cleaner, their tube and tile cleaner. I don’t remember what brand of cleaner I’ve used on the glass cooktop though... and I like using the spray can glass cleaner with either newspaper or packing paper to get that streak free clean.
