You're only allowed ONE cleaning product and it is....?

[OopsThereGoMyTrousers]

OK, you can have specific stuff for the machines, like laundry powder and dishwasher stuff and I'll chuck in a free bottle of Fairy washing up liquid, but for the rest of the house?

And not vinegar.
I don't care that it has amazing properties, I don't want my house to smell like a fish and chip shop.

While Zoflora does go cloudy in water, this is down to the fragrances being insoluble in water and is not due to the product containing phenol. As a result, Zoflora disinfectant is safe to use around most pets when used correctly

I googled!

[MercedesD]

Careful with zoflora around cats... any chemical that turns cloudy in water can be very harmful to cats x

[LazyDailyMailJournos]

Cream cleaner - if I just had to have one desert island product it would be this. Cleans well without scratching and can also be used to remove scuff marks from painted walls.

Rough microfibre cloths.

Multi surface cleaner - preferably Method grapefruit because I love the smell.

[Flushedwithsomething]

Dame - point taken. Thankfully past the wipes stage now but still shocked at them being used for cleaning!

[YellowLawn]

a wet flannel is much more effective than a wipe

[woodhill]

Cotton wool not as effective as a wipe

[BreakfastAtSquiffanys]

Seriously people, lay off the bleach!
How many gallons are you pouring down the drains every day!?

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

I am so very shocked at people using baby wipes for cleaning. Environmental disaster. I did use them on my babies but even the tore them in half!

You really don't get to be shocked if you used them yourself even if you did great them in half. What's wrong with cotton wool and water,or making your own wipes?

[trixymalixy]

Tesco Apple multi surface spray. Smells so nice!

[dementedma]

I wish we could start an anti-bleach and wipes campaign. Seriously, i understand things which cut down on cleaning time (I work F/T and have 3 dcs) but using a washable cloth is no harder than using a wipe!
If we can all make small changes, it makes a difference.
ditch the wipes!!

[accidentalgrownup]

Stardrops vinegar spray
Zoflora (linen)
Wilko lemon anti bac wipes

I also recently changed all my dusters, cloths etc to white ones so I could stick them in the wash together (didn't have anything to wash with yellow dusters)

[kel1234]

I have to agree with surface wipes. So so easy to clean with. I use them everywhere.

[CharlotteCollinsneeLucas]

Another vote for rags or microfibre cloths instead of (environmental nightmare) baby wipes. Microfibre cloths are so much more satisfying to use, anyway. And then bung them in the wash and they're good as new.

[dementedma]

I use old rags for cloths too. I also have a friend in the US who actually knits dishcloths and sends me them.Just use and chuck in the washing machine and re-use

[arrrrghhwinehelpswithteens]

oh and as for cloths - I am a lot bit old fashioned & have a rag bag for old towels etc and that's what I use for cleaning. Wash them in a bucket after with carbolic and good to go.

[arrrrghhwinehelpswithteens]

Lemon juice
bicarbonate of soda
carbolic soap.
Lemon & bicarb mixed to a paste will clean almost anything (& smells better than vinegar); carbolic soap is bloody amazing. You can grate it for floors & surfaces & it removes stains from clothes better than vanish.

And yes, Stardrops. Works on everything including jewellery

[MaMisled]

Sainsburys kitchen spray with bleach.

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

I tried to ditch the bleach but my toilets stink just using cleaner.

[YellowLawn]

bleach is not a cleaning product.
it's a disinfectant!
normal households do not regularly need disinfectants. soap and water are all you need really.

[dementedma]

Yes beans it is but as long as the sink.is "sparkling" who cares? Sod the environment...

[LapdanceShoeshine]

I use dilute bleach very occasionally on my ancient, pitted, granite-effect white sink when the brown stains become too disgusting to look at.

Also a small amount on otherwise stubborn (rust) stains on ancient worktop.

But I know some people bleach their loos every day

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

Bleach for the loos and drains.

[MrsBakedBean]

What does everyone use bleach for? I've never bought a bottle of it in my life. Isn't it toxic?

[GerdaLovesLili]

Bleach.
