    Talking Bathroom cleaner war

    For years I have used Commet bathroom (the spray) and have not found anything that has cleaned my bathroom better. I mean from top to bottom, toilets, bath tub, tile, walls, mold,(okay bleach here) counters, etc.

    I have tried so many different brands. I can get this at 2.50 at most general dollar stores.

    Besides baking soda and vinegar, what brand do you love or cleans the best to you?

    I actually like the powder the best. If I am really serious, I get out the magic erasers....they are truly magic!!

    I use Awesome (found at DG, Family Dollar, Dollar Tree...etc)...it's $1, and also the Magic Eraser...but I just use the store brand.
    These 2 things I could not live without...I'm in the residential cleaning business...and they work wonders!

    The only thing I've found the Magic Eraser to be good for in this house...is cleaning the inside of my coffee pot It didn't work in the tub, the shower, the sink, the walls, the fridge..nothing. But it works wonders getting the black off the inside of the coffee urn


    In my bathroom, I love Scrubbing Bubbles. The aerosol can, mostly because the pump bottles kill my hand with all that continuous pumping.

    I also like Comet, but not the powder. I use the 'soft' comet. I don't want to ruin the finish on my porcelain

    It does work best when used with your favorite cleaning products....it reduces to need to scrub to almost zero!
    In especially stubborn shower pans, I use Soft Scrub with the Magic Eraser....

    I love lysol wipes or the generic kind. I also use the no scrubbing bubbles cleaner for the tub, it works wonders

    For the tiles I use the same thing but can never get out all the harsh spots, might have to try the magic eraser

    Wal Mart's cleanser with bleach. At a $1 a bottle it keeps my bathtub and my kitchen sinks sparkling white.

    I use Comet powder w/bleach for bathtubs, sinks and tile. It's cheap ($1. for 25 oz.) and works great!

    Call me REAL cheap! or... REAL sensitive to cleaners, harsh chemicals.
    But I use.... gulp... dish soap and water to clean my coffee pot. LOL.

    I use a steam cleaner to clean up, down and all around my bathroom and kitchen. (everything, I mean EVERYTHING)
    It's only waterm but it's the steam that cleans.


    I use vinegar and water to clean the wood floors.

    Dish soap and water with a squeegee for the mirrors and windows. Try it. It works fantastic and quick.

    Murphy's oil soap for furniture pieces.

    A swiffer with a disposable rag to swipe the floors and walls.
    A vacuum for furniture pieces.

    Done.


    Simple. quiet. and clean

    I've found that steam cleaning works best for me, but that requires that you buy a steam cleaner for around $100

    I use powdered old-school comet for everything in the bathroom except mirrors. I use it for lots in the kitchen too. Does it cause scratches? I've never seen any and have used it forever.

    I use Scrubbing Bubbles for the tub and the floor. My bathroom linoleum has little grooves in it and I can spray and wipe it down and it amazes me how clean it gets. I also use Magic Erasers for lots of different things in the house. I love those things.
