We've been asked by Cif to find out about Mumsnetters' fantasy cleaning products.

Here’s what Cif have to say, "Our latest cleaning product - Cif Express Direct to Floor - can be used direct on the floor and small surfaces for a sparkling clean home. It leaves a long lasting and fresh fragrance. It's suitable for tiled, laminate and washable/ varnished wood floors. To use, you simply squirt the product directly onto the floor, then wipe with a damp mop, there's no need to rinse and it dries really fast! Now available in Antibacterial, Lemon & Apple Flowers and Wild Orchid & Velvet flowers, the RRP is £2.00 for 750 ml."

Check out the MNers review video here (and check out their feedback here):

So, what magic cleaning product would you invent? Maybe you wish for a super-speedy vacuum cleaner? Or maybe a stain remover that can remove every possible stain? Perhaps you'd like to create a dust-repellent spray so you'd never need to dust again? A loo brush that kept itself clean ?

Whatever your dream cleaning products are, Cif Express Direct to Floor would love to hear about them.

Everyone who adds a comment will be entered into a prize draw where one lucky MNer will win a £250 voucher for the store of their choice.

A mop designed to clean skirting boards

[DifferentNow]

I have a glass TV stand with 2 shelves below which gathers dust like nothing I've ever seen before. I have to damp dust the damn thing every day. I clean from the top down and by the time I'm doing the bottom shelf, there's already dust settling on the top again! I would love a product which somehow prevents the dust settling so quickly.

[ShatnersBassoon]

Thank you very much, what a lovely surprise

[AnnMumsnet]

Thanks for all the comments: ShatnersBassoon wins the voucher! well done!

[Benzalkonium]

Not sure if this has been said: some dust mite killing device. Preferably working by ultrasound or similar so no chemical residue. Failing this, a spray to kill dust mite and prevent them living in furnishings. Failing this a spray to neutralise dust mite faeces rendering them non allergenic.

[honeybeeridiculous]

A vacuum cleaner that is silent but also has the option to play music
this is in fact DS idea as he hates my vacuum as it it sooo loud
it does actually sound like a jet engine

[Jinsei]

A robot that washes and dries the floor :)

[milliemoon]

A carpet cleaner that repels any further dirt from staining the carpets!

[GalaxyInMyPants]

I'd invent like a car wash for dogs. So when I came back from a muddy walk I could put him a box and press a button and he'd come out the other end clean.

[addictedtosugar]

Something for shower drains that can dissolve all the hair and slime that builds up in their, despite me carefully sticking all hair I can to the wall when washing and binning afterwards.

Glass protector that prevents cat nose and toddler finger marks showing on the window

As in the OP, dust repellent, and several people have mentioned cook away oven cleaner.

Cleaning product to remove all sort of things from painted walls. And biro /crayon/feltip from wooden tables.

Oh, and bring back Jif. Its not cif.

[deakymom]

one that cleans dried on weetabix in one wipe! from table to bottom in one handy package

sand magnet to remove sand from children carpets etc without wrecking the filter on your dyson

[EddieReadersglasses]

Something that can remove dried on weetabix!

Or banana stains from baby clothes

(Bit of a theme here I know...)

[PricillaQueenOfTheDessert]

A self-cleaning toilet.

[BornOfFrustration]

I'd like something to clean the inside of the shower, tiles included, that you don't have to rinse and soak yourself at the same time.

[mumof2kiddos]

Also some sort of after-wash dirt/mud repellant spray for white shirts!
My son's school shirts change colour from white to gray/stained in half a day!! This repellant spray should be such that I can spray on his shirt in the morning and then after school just a bit of shaking the shirt will make all the dirt fall off!!

[mumof2kiddos]

I want a battery operated window cleaning sponge. This device should be able to stick to the window glass and be able to be programmed with up-down and side to side motion. It should also have a strong suction to the glass so that it doesnt fall off. I should be just able to squirt some cleaning liquid on the spnge, attach it to the glass and switch it on and voila!!!! Clean windows in 5 mins. Also the other side of the window too can be cleaned now! That would be My dream cleaning machine :D

[releasethehounds]

Don't know if anyone's mentioned this yet but I would really like a shower door/panel cleaner that actually cleans the panels!

[sealight123]

A washing machine/tumble dryer that folds/pairs/sorts the clothes and then a robot to put them all away! :P

[Kendodd]

I would invent a machine that just sat in a corner and quietly sucked all the dust up out of the air before it could land on any surface. you would just need to empty it about once a month, no dusting, ever!

That's doable I think?

[DogCalledRudis]

I would love to invent the self-cleaning floor and other surfaces.

[destroyerOFdandelions]

i wish there was a home suction system to suck all the dust out of my house overnight, silently, so i dont have to hoover or dust anything!

[GeorgeMon]

What magic cleaning product would I invent? A window cleaner that just needs to be used once and doesn't leave any streaks

[greeneggsandjam]

A torch that you just aim at things and it removes all traces of dirt, it also zaps stuff off the floor so you don't have to hoover and if you aim it all the walls it brings your paint work back to the freshly painted look.

[PurpleCrazyHorse]

A product that can clean the burnt on grime that seems to end up on the grill heating element in our electric oven. Obv can't spray oven cleaner on it but it does smell and smoke a bit.

Something that gets yellow deodorant buildup stains off DH's shirts in one easy step. Actually, I've not yet found anything that gets it off.

And something that keeps dust off the plastic TV stand, even for just 10 mins!

[BabyshamBambi456]

Some kind of washing stock control system that automatically got the clothes in the machine, washed dried and ironed before you ran out. I frequently have to snaffle DHs boxers due to a lack of clean Knicks!
