All- purpose cleaner

This type of cleaner works on most countertops, sinks and stovetops. If you have granite or marble countertops, purchase a product made specifically for those materials to avoid doing damage over time. The same rule applies to a glass stovetop, which requires a special glass polish

               

·        Glass cleaner

Liquid Glass Cleaner is a glass cleaner containing material things - the nature of the surfactant Lonic Heavy Duty Cleaner , capable of lifting dirt , oil stains , scars and stains immediately -noda lies embedded glass .

                               

·        Tile and grout cleaner

An acid-based, scrub-free solution works best on bathtub and shower tile, as well as toilets. You will want something mild for your tile floors, though, as acid can eat away at the tile itself and grout. Most tile manufacturers recommend regular removal of loose dust and dirt through damp mopping, with use of a neutral-pH cleaner only when necessary, such as to clean up spills, etc.

·        Wood cleaner

 When cleaning wood furniture, opt for a polish made for the type of finish on your wood. Floors with a polyurethane seal need only a solution of warm water and a mild dishwashing soap to come clean after sweeping or dry mopping. In general, though, you will want to use as little water as possible when cleaning wood.

If you prefer to use eco-friendly products, all of the above are available as such. You also can make your own green cleaners at home.

Must-Have Cleaning Tools

Cleaning tools also vary by surface, with some being too abrasive for certain uses. Purchase the following:

·         Microfiber cloth

 Microfibers cloth are mostly made of polyester, and, unlike cotton, they leave no lint behind. They are usually knitted and very soft, making them generally safe for use on relatively soft surfaces such as paint or wood. Make sure the cloths haven’t latched onto a small piece of grit that could cause a scratch.

·         Extendible duster 

 No matter your height, you will be able to reach the tops of the ceiling fans in your home with one of these handy cleaning tools.

·         Scrubby sponges

 The sponge side works well for most cleanups, while the scrubby side helps you tackle tougher jobs. These work in both the kitchen and bathroom.

·         Toilet brush

Having a brush that cleans your toilet, and only your toilet, helps curb the spread of germs to other surfaces.

·         Vacuum

Vacuums work on both hard and soft surfaces, such as carpet, floors and upholstery. Make sure the beater bar is set for the correct surface and use attachments for upholstery and hard to reach, tight spaces such as between your refrigerator and wall.

·         Bucket

 Using a bucket, as opposed to filling a sink with cleaning, makes it much easier to tackle floors.

·         Microfiber mop

This tool works for many types of hard surface flooring.

·         Grout brush

 These narrow brushes help you free grout lines of debris, resulting in longer-lasting grout.

·         Rubber gloves

Protect your hands while cleaning, especially when using acid-based cleaners or if you suffer from skin sensitivity.

Other specialty cleaning products and tools you might need:

• Hard-water cleaner
• Squeegee
• Glass stovetop scraper

With both the cleaning solutions and tools, always check the manufacturer’s instructions on the label to ensure the product will not cause damage.

Tips for Cleaning Less Often

All of the above will collectively help you keep your home clean. How often you must do it, though, depends on you. By creating and placing cleaning kits throughout your home, you encourage maintenance between deep cleans. Consider purchasing multiple cleaning caddies and storing in each one the products and tools for a particular room, such as the bathroom, kitchen and laundry room. That way, you clean in small increments, as opposed to spending an entire day on the job. Discover more helpful cleaning tips from Molly Maid.
