I’ll start. I love buying domestic thick bleach. I can put it all around the toilet and it just soaks and slides the skidders right off. Not need for much scrubbing. I buy quite a few bottles and give the 3 toilets is our house a good coat daily.

So I love they stuff.

Also I don’t have a toilet brush - I just think. It’s a breeding ground for more germs!!!! Eeew!!!!!

I'm afraid in hard water areas all bleach does is bleach the timescale white, harpic black bottle is the one for me! Silicone brush which is better and can be sanitised using disinfectant.

My favourite one is a bit niche but I love it. I used to buy lots of cleaners but my best one is floor cleaner: I realised they were settling off my dogs skin allergies. So I did some reading and now I make my own and I can make it smell however i want! So i make my own: Christmas smells, summery ones etc etc. I make other cleaning sprays etc too (fussy wood worktops etc)

It's such a silly thing but I makes me so happy to be able to switch it up whenever i want. There's now fewer artificial chemicals in my house, it's still clean (in fact it cleans better than the other stuff!) and smells SO good too, and less to bother the dog and my DS who has eczema.

It's such a silly thing but if I make a batch of surface and floor cleaners up and do a blitz it's so nice!

Sugar soap. Gets anything off.

It's very easy to make your own nice cleaning sprays per PP. I make mine with tea tree and eucalyptus oils, some detergent and add water. I also use bicarb in a dish with lavender or rose oil in it as an air freshener. Microfiber cloths and fluffy dusters are good.

I shine up my sink with a bit of baby oil. It makes it sparkle & gleam like new.
