What one cleaner could you not live without?

For me it would be clorox soft scrub. I use this for so many things.
Kitchen counters, sinks, toliets, bathtub, spots on the lineoleum.

Can't pick one,lol. Bleach, ammonia & vinegar NOT used together though.

**FrugalMomof3** · 02-25-2006, 07:59 AM

It is kinda hard to pick just one

I would say my disinfecting wipes, pledge, etc...

**QuilterMom** · 02-25-2006, 08:03 AM

vinegar, baking soda, and water

Lysol toilet bowl cleaner

**AmyMCGS** · 02-25-2006, 09:28 AM

Clorox Clean-Up spray

I use it in the kitchen and bathroom.

**Kimberlina** · 02-25-2006, 01:29 PM

Baking soda and vinegar.

Also, though I am not proud of it, I am a huge fan of The Works Shower/Tub cleaner- absolutely nothing worked on the (since we bought the house) stains in the tub until I tried that.

Washing soda, vinegar, and baking soda

OHHHH I love this question!

I have 3 absolute top favourites. They live under both bathroom sinks, the kitchen sink and near the laundry.

Red Juice concentrate (Clean Team product) that is a degreaser concentrate. It's environmentally safe. I found a local equivalent and am using that.

I dilute it to make a smell free excellent all purpose spray cleaner in several spray bottles all round the house.

It isn't good on glass though, and for that I adore Windex. I buy that in the 10L jugs at Costco and refill the window sprayers, again, I keep them all round the house under every sink. Both bathrooms, kitchen and near the laundry.

I LOVE Comet for scrubbing toilets and sinks. That grit just grinds off grime, and it has bleach in it which is a great disinfectant. Doesn't splash on my clothes and leave bleach spots which is a plus. Leaves my stainless steel shiny and clean. Rinses fairly well if you don't use a ton.

It even disinfects my dish brush as I scrub the sink with it. LOVE my cleaners.

I'm a big fan of Comet. I suppose I could live without it, but I wouldn't want to!

bleach. a necessity for germs

**babetteq** · 02-26-2006, 10:18 AM

dishsoap. I use it for most cleaning, I wash my hands with it when I'm in the kitchen (even though i have hand soap right there), if I run out of shampoo, I wash my hair with it. It's what I use on the floors, the counters etc.... Baking soda is next. It turns dishsoap into a mild abrasive.

**Michele Annette** · 03-02-2006, 11:02 AM

baking soda, vinegar, bleach, citrasolve (the ONLY thing that cleans the washing machine tub (it's white and plastic and after several loads of DH's dirty work clothes it has a grey ring around it and nothing, I mean nothing, else takes it off other than citrasolve...one small bottle will last me several years though), and simple green (excellent for cleaning pet accidents on rugs or furniture also excellent for cleaning the vehicle interiors...I dilute it though or it stains anything light colored green!) I do buy a store brand glass cleaner occationally for mirrors and windows.

I cannot live without Method. It's an all natural brand of cleaners that have handsoap, shower spray, disinfectant wipes, laundry soap, etc. It's more expensive than I like, but I like the fact that it's not harmful to my son.
