Favorite cleaning products?

[AbbysMom]

I like starting this thread every few years to see if there is anything I am missing out on.

My favorite dusting cloths were discontinued but I am still a magic eraser fan. I feel they are getting flimsier though. They fall apart a lot easier than they used to.

My current find is this though:

I do not like my new refrigerator at all. One of the reasons is all of the fingerprints. I followed the manufacturers instructions and could not get rid of them. It was getting to the point where my husband and I were talking about getting another refrigerator. I saw these in the store one day and figured "Why not?". If they damaged the surface we were thinking of getting rid of it anyway. These got rid of every smudge. That was about a month ago and there are still no smudges.

What are some of your favorite products?

This is my favorite toilet bowl cleaner. We have very hard water and stains do tend to accumulate in the toilet. It even broke down and got rid of old stains from the really toilet in the basement that I thought I would just have to live with until we decided to replace the toilet...now I don't need to replace it at all! This also breaks down all the calcium and limescale deposits on other surfaces. But be careful...this stuff can only be used on certain surfaces as it is so strong.

This is my most lifechanging find. We have ONE toilet that gets awful Just that one. And it has since we've lived here and the house was brand new when we bought it. I really don't understand! But it got that toilet looking good again!

I might have to find those wipes for my dishwasher at some point. Right now it's still covered in various letter magnets because my kids still mess around with them for kicks. So it seems pointless for now!

Murphy's Oil Soap, Lestoil (illegal in Florida, hee, hee) white vinegar, only Clorox bleach..love the meadow scent,
cannot remember the name Old English Furniture Oil?, Lysol for laundry..powerful albeit dangerous..must use goggles
when using but kills COVID-19, Lysol toilet bowl cleaner. Never ever Pledge.

My new helper has told me some products she thinks I should have. Will now try the more powerful one after reading MoochNNoodles post

This is my favorite multipurpose cleaner-

I've never found another that works so well.

Lysol for laundry..powerful albeit dangerous..

You know Lysol makes a laundry sanitizer now. When used as a pretreat soak it kills viruses, when used in the final rinse it kills bacteria. I only use it in the final rinse. I like how it removes the lingering odor that seems to settle in some clothing, especially work out clothing without just covering it up with something that is perfumy.

Mrs. Meyers all purpose cleaner in the honeysuckle scent
Lime Away toilet bowl cleaner. We have very hard water in Florida. This stuff blasts through stains like crazy.
Clorox Scentiva wipes in the Tuscan lavender & jasmine scent.

Dawn Powerwash. On everything! I also like the Mr Clean in the same kind of spray bottle but I think it's just because of the bottle; the cleaner isn't anything special.

Why? Does it mix with the detergent to make a dangerous substance? It wouldn't occur to me to use goggles for Lysol. . .

Lysol for Laundry

she does use goggles.

I don't do anything special safety wise with it. I just pour it in the liquid fabric softener dispenser because I don't use fabric softener. It does say in the safety fine print to not get in eyes with a blurb about safety glasses. I don't though. I can understand why they put that on there as a protection against lawsuits. I see safety glasses as something that should be worn along with an N95 mask around dangerous fumes. This is a liquid that can be dangerous if it is splashed in the eyes. I just pour a cap of it and then pour it in the dispenser, I am careful with it because I think it is on the expensive side. Most cleaners would be at least irritating and some dangerous if they get into the eyes.

I try to strike a balace between whats safe for my cat & also sanitary…so list towards eco friendly things…Mrs Meyers, vinegar & water, Ecover.

All I use these days is Dawn dish soap because most of the other stuff is dangerous for cats. I used to like the original Lysol before I had cats, but you can't get that anymore and I wouldn't use it now anyway.

THANK YOU for this suggestion! We have almost all stainless steel appliances and all of the stuff that's supposed to work on them doesn't. Drives me nuts. I am running out to buy these right now.

No nasty, germs toilet brush sitting around in my bathrooms. Instead I use a pair of scissors tongs and disposable toilet scrubbers. The tongs are used with a wad of toilet paper for as necessary or daily toilet cleaning and then the disposable scrubbers for weekly.

Kitchen gets 409 and also alcohol sanitizing spray. Floors get Swiffer wet jet for wood.

Lestoil is amazing for getting out grease/oil stains from laundry. Even gets out set-in stains. But it's so potent that it eventually eats its way through its own plastic bottle so I keep it in a glass bottle.

i use a lot of Simple Green. it's my favorite for general cleaning, and to wipe down the edges/inside sides of my cats litter boxes.

WOWZA!! It is a petroleum distillate hence the strength. Mom used to use it and I always think of her when I can smell it,
Murphy's as well.
