I want to buy some new cloths/spray/cleaning Things. How do you clean general marks off skirting boards? They never seem clean!

I use method and love it, Iv got a few e cloths, do I get more?

What’s the best stuff for bathrooms?

Iv tried cheap microfibre cloths but they don’t pick the dust up 🤦🏻‍♀️

What about the fridge? Kitchen cupboard fronts?

Help!
Thank you!

I tend to use cheap microfibres from places like b&m. I regularly machine wash them without softener (as softener makes them less effective) and they seem okay. I did treat myself to some marigold cloths, sponges, etc etc. They seem pretty good and were really cheap on the wilko website. Wilko is fab for cleaning products.

For the skirting boards I tend to get a little bowl with soapy water and a normal cloth (not a microfibe). Maybe a little cif for those stubborn marks. Cif is fab for stubborn males as is the pink stuff.

For the bathroom I tend to use any product labelled bathroom cleaner. This could be a supermarket own make, flash, Dettol etc. Sometimes I use a bleach spray.

I use Zoflora to disenfect my house. If you’ve never heard of this search for ‘Zoflora addicts’ in Facebook. There is a fab group.

I tend to use window cleaner on my kitchen cupboards (outside) to get them streak free. If they were really grubby I’d use soapy water and some kind of dettol spray.

The fridge I would use something mild like Method. I love the goldy coloured method spray af the minute (can’t think of the name but I bought it from Tesco).

My essentials:

  1. Antibacterial sprays
  2. Antibacterial wipes
  3. A cleaner like method spray
  4. Cif
  5. Zoflora to disenfect
  6. Plenty of cloths as I go through a lot.
  7. Bleach for down the toilet
  8. Fairy liquid - I use this to clean my sofa and to mop my floor with Zoflora added.

Cif bathroom mousse is shit hot for skirting boards (assuming you’ve no pets). Skoosh it on, do something else, then wipe off. Grin
