Cleaning products I can't live without!

[Thenewcleaner]

What is your go to cleaning product?

I love CIF cream cleaner and Stardrops "The Pink Stuff" (miracle cleaning paste.) How about everyone else?

[IDoAllMyOwnStunts]

Not sure if this is fit for this thread - but I bought a double mop bucket from The Range the other day then had no idea how to use it. As surely both sides end up with dirty water in them. Flummoxed I was! Any tips gratefully received (I put good old zoflora in).

Barkeepers Friend for the granite worktops.
Nilglass glass cleaner, I’ve tried them all and this is the only one that doesnt leave streaks. Ecloths and I’ve just discovered minky pads which are amazing!

Pink Stuff fabric stain remover spray works brilliantly on grubby white trainer socks

Method rhubarb kitchen spray and the shower spray (blue one)is fantastic and smells divine.
Micro fibre cloths, wet with water for dusting then dry to polish up. Also same for cleaning windows with just water, no need for sprays.
Pan pals. Amazing little things.

What are pan pals? I've googled and it brings up pen pals! 😄

@IDoAllMyOwnStunts Handy if someone is helping you mop the floor I suppose, other than that I've absolutely no idea!

[HoneyPea]

@IDoAllMyOwnStunts Mine has one side for wet and one side for dry. The dry side squeezes the water out of the mop. Are the tops different on each side?

[Arrowheart]

The Pink Stuff range is amazing. Especially the bathroom foam.

@Westchester
Think they are now known as stainless steel scrubbers but they came out as pan pals years ago.
They are great for hard stuff stuck on pans, cooker tops and glass etc. You can also use them gently(wet) on non stick surfaces and they get everything off.

Astonish paste in a little dark blue rectangular tub.
tobee I too don't get the love for the Pink Stuff.

I love my double mop bucket IDoAllMyOwnStunts. With a single mop bucket you are swishing a dirty mop around your floor.

Ocean Saver pods which mean you reuse your plastic bottles.

Have nothing to add but just want to be on this thread for future reference.....

I'm very excited though as I've ordered a steam cleaner for my sofas which should be arriving today ...

[IDoAllMyOwnStunts]

Thank you all. This is the bucket I have that has caused me confusion!

[Roselilly36]

CIF is amazing
Nilglass for glass & mirrors, nothing compares to how excellent this product is.
Microfibre cloths.

Method rhubarb cleaner and bio d lavender washing up liquid

[Workinghardeveryday]

Anyone any idea how to get a rubber shower head (flat one) clean if mouldy? Soaked in bleach, did nothing!

[SpnBaby1967]

Nans's Secret white clay cleaner. If you have anything you need a shine on its AMAZING! I use it on everything & nothing has beaten it yet.

[ThisMustBeMyDream]

Fabric softener in water. Tumble dryer sheets. Game changer for me! I have all white wood furniture and white faux wood blinds. This keeps the dust at bay far longer than anything else I've tried. It also works beautifully on glass and even the TV screen which I could never ever get clean!
It also stops the mirror in the bathroom steaming up when I'm in the shower.
I'm a convert!!

Additionally pink stuff paste is brilliant at removing marks from the bath (from toys!) that no other regular cleaner would remove. I also use it on the front door for all the scuff marks. And plastic storage boxes in my kallax that get marked with things that won't come off otherwise (toys seem to leave marks on these as the kids bash the fronts of the boxes with whatever plastic shite they are playing with). Oh and this week I also discovered that used with scrunched up tin foil just eats through the crap on the oven, baking trays, wire racks etc. I was amazed!!

Washing up liquid and hot water for mopping the kitchen tiles. Leaves it clean and streak free. I use a flat mop with it.

I like the pink stuff spray too for making the stainless steel shine. Although the fabric softner does it just the same if not slightly better!

[kirkandpetal]

Pink stuff is fab. It's a tiny bit gritty though test first/ use with caution if you're not sure. If it's ok, then you can let loose and scrub away. Brilliant at reviving plastic outdoor furniture type grime.

I also bought a sonic scrubber. It's basically like a large electric toothbrush but using it and pink stuff made the runners in my shower clean. Have found it so useful for fiddly bits that are hard to clean. Think it was about £18 from Amazon.

I tend to use elbow grease as a day to day surface cleaner. Cheap and very effective. Method mint glass spray is fab for induction hob. Also love Method rubarb floor spray and I've just bought the a method rubab antibac spray for the bathroom to give it a try. For the smell mainly. I saw they also do a clementine general spray - I resisted for now as didn't need it but I'm a sucker for citrus smells so will prob try that soon!

[TipseyTorvey]

Just joining to say I saw a trick on tiktok that I love now. Fill an oxo good grips soap dispenser brush a general liquid cleaner and keep in the shower, bath. Then each time just quick squirt and scrub and rinse. Brilliant. Got one for the kitchen as well. V good.

[MrsTophamHat]

@userxx sorry, i've just seen your Q about the shine spray. I use it loads in the kitchen. Once i've wiped down with a general kitchen spray, i put it on the hob, tiles, microwave and oven doors.

I've got this one at the mo but i've had a Wilko's own one that did the job too!

[MrsTophamHat]

I should add that I use it with a dry microfibre or one of those minky sponges. It's just a quick spray and wipe but it does add a satisfying bit of shine that makes it look finished!

[mommybear1]

@Workinghardeveryday have you tried white vinegar? I put some in a bucket and submerge the shower head overnight - good as new the next day.

[FayKnights]

Lots of the ones mentioned above, especially Pink Stuff.
Also fabric conditioner watered down in a squirty bottle with a micro fibre cloth for windows and anything needing a shine. Works like magic! Thanks to the lovely person on here who recommended it!

[Workinghardeveryday]

@mommybear1 no I haven’t tried that! I will give it a go - thanks 😁
