Lysol Cling Toilet Bowl Cleaner...
Don't waste your money. Product in teal bottle with "country scent" smells great but does not remove ANY stains and the scrubbing with the toilet brush brushed off most the stuff.
Think I will go back to the multi-use product Soft Scrub with bleach for toilets. It does the trick! |

The Clean Team's stuff- I've tried most of it, and have been very pleased with everything except the granite cleaner. Non-toxic. NO scent (!!!!!!), made with seaweed, and does an OUTSTANDING job.
Of course, I don't know if they have a toliet cleaning product...I just use the red juice (after I got off the ring from the previous owner). usually I don't even need the juice...just a swish once a day or ever other day usually does the trick.
It is an investment, but their stuff is concentrated, and really does last MUCH longer. I made my last order 6 months ago, and am about 1/2 way through the red and blue juice. Nothing else looks used.

I've searched around, and the only place I've ever seen it is on their website:
[HYPERLINK@thecleanteam.com]
Free shipping on your first order! I've got a lot of tile flooring, so I also have (in addition to the cleaning juices), the shmop, the scrubber thingy (it's white), the janitor dustmop thing, and the window cleaning supplies. I have the upright dustpan, but have since found it cheaper in other places. The brooms are not worth it, though.
If you read through their website, it is quite inspiring. Their premise is to use the right tool for the job, and you'll get done twice as fast. I use a toothbrush that was old, but I do see the benefits of the larger one that they sell. I also bought a cheapo flat razor blade from W-Mart and couldn't do without it now. OH- and I have the toliet scrubber brush that they sell- works better than any other one I've tried. I also got the idea for the pumice stone idea from them, but didn't buy there.
Hmmm- I need a commission :)

I bought the Clean Team products and so far my favorite is the Scum Bum. We have really hard water and although it can't take everything off that has been building up on the glass shower doors, I have noticed a distinct difference. No smell which I appreciate since I am pregnant and I don't handle cleaning product smells very well. Also that tile brush is fantastic. Never knew that a brush could make such a difference. Got the red juice and use it for the counters, sinks, etc. Also got the floor cleaner that works on hardwoods (ashamed to say, haven't gotten around to use it yet, but it is on the list). |

I've used the Clean Team stuff before. It's ok, quite pricy. I've tried allot stuff when I had a house cleaning business. I must tell you about the best heavy duty cleaner I've ever used. It's called "A-Maz". It's a paste. I get mine at "True Value". It says it's for cleaning and removing water stains. But I find it cleans just about any really bad stain better then anything else. You still will need to use good old elbow grease, but with this I've had the best of luck. I've used it on bathroom sinks that have had years of hardwater build up and have made them look as good, almost, as new. I tend to be a bit doubtful of any product that claims it will clean things fast and easy. Really tough dirt always takes elbow grease no matter what.
For a good liquid heavy duty cleaners I use Butcher's "Speedball". And another really good multi-purpose lime and stain remover that great for glass I like Griffin Bros., inc. "Sub-Lime". It takes just a tiny bit in a bucket of water, and leaves mirrors unbelievably clean. These two I believe are only sold at commercial cleaning supply stores. But anyone can buy cleaning supplies there. If you really want the good stuff go where the perfessionals go.
And concerning cleaning wood, do some research in caring for finishes before you use anything. Wood cleaning is a whole different story. Anything that you would buy in you grocery store really isn't very good for wood. I've recently just started learning about this because my husband want me to learn the finishing trade to help him with his cabinet business. One website that has really helped me with this area is [HYPERLINK@www.homesteadfinishing.com]
My housecleaning customers didn't always like it when I told them waxing their wood wasn't the best thing for it. Not when they wanted me to rub some oil on it. If you want to take really good care of your furiture then check out what the wood finishers say to do for it. But remember, professional cleaning supplies really do work the best, you just need to follow the directions.
Hope this helps,
Sagewood.
P.S. I've also gone the natural route because of health concerns and customers preferences. I've always had to go back to the "real" stuff because after awhile the "natural" stuff makes things look really bad. |

Not a cleaning product, but one of my "can't live without it" is Downy Wrinkle Releaser. I don't have time to iron unless absolutely necessary but we do like our everyday cotton tees looking presentable. This stuff really does a good job. I get it at Wal-Mart and a spray bottle lasts a long time. Really handy too for those "crammed into the closet" wrinkles that turn up just when you're in a hurry. |

ROFL...you gals are TO FUNNY!!!! I was wondering the same thing about this Downey Wrinkle Releaser!!!!! I don't buy clothes that need ironing but a neighbor gave me a ton of nice maternity clothes but many of the shirts are the wrinkle kind! I'll have to get that Downey stuff because I can't stand to iron. Would I just spritz it on when they come out of the dryer?
And what is this Clorox Clean Up? |

Clorox Clean Up is in a spray bottle like Fantastic.
My cups get a lot of tea stains...and I just spritz them with the Clorox clean up and it is gone. Also I spray it on stains in some of my laundry too. It also kills bacteria...use it in bathroom sinks and kitchen sinks.
Resturants use a little clorox in their rinse water for dishes...to kill germs...then rinse again...works for me too. Jo |

Hi Tir Na,
Oh my gosh, I could not live without Clorox Clean Up.
Coffee pot. Spray. Walk away. Come back, rinse out. Wow, brand new!
Tea jug. Spray. Walk away. Same thing.
Toilets. I can't say enough about this product in the bathroom.
Sinks. Do the dishes, rinse the sink, spray down with CCU. Kitchen
smells sooo clean!
Cutting boards. Lay them in the sink, spray them down. Come back later
to find stains gone from your white plastic cutting boards. Onion smell GONE.
We have a very small bathroom but three men live in the house. I'm
the only female. So I've just made it a habit to clean every time I am in
the bathroom. I keep a roll of paper towels in the cubby and a bottle of CCU
under the sink. A quick mist on the floor and a paper towel, whooosh.
The toilet is a breeze to keep clean with a little whoosh, too.
I think I'm having too much fun cleaning. This could be a problem. LOL

Tir_Na_Nog:
We have a hanging rod in our laundry room. I just hang the items when they come out of the dryer and then spritz them with the Wrinkle Releaser. Spray from 8 inches away, then just quickly smooth the fabric with your hand and let the garment dry. If you need to wear it right away (which is often the case for me!) you can put it in the dryer on low for a minute.
I just put Clorox Clean Up on my shopping list! |

Side note about the Clorox Clean Up:
I keep a plastic tray under a little table in the laundry room just for
cleaning cloths that have been in contact with Clorox Clean Up. Once
a week I run the whole tray full of cleaning cloths on a very small load, then
toss in a little white rug or something. Presto, clean cloths to clean next week.
They don't mold, stink or smell while waiting to be laundered, either, because
of the bleach in the product. Nice!
Don't toss them in with your regular laundry, as they can and will
bleach your other clothing items.
For whites, it is superb for getting out stains.
Be careful with using colored dish towels, too...which is why I only
use white. |

Well, I'm sold on Clorox Clean-Up now. I bought a bottle yesterday and used it on the toilets, which In our hard water area get badly stained. The stains were gone in a heartbeat! I'm going to do a quick spray daily to keep them sparkling. It also quickly removed the bathtub scuz with just a quick swipe of a sponge.
My husband bought a bag of100 white terry cloth rags from an auto supply store to use in maintaining his sports car. I think they're perfect for household cleaning so I swiped 20 of them for myself.

Hi June,
Oh yes, I love the multi-towel thing. I buy hamburger in the big
5 or 6 pound square plastic trays. After rolling the meat into one
pound rolls in plastic wrap then freezing, I spray the tray with
what else? Yep, Clorox Clean Up. I'll tell you what. If it were not
for CCU, I would probably not cook chicken very often.
Just for the heck of it, next time you have raw beef laying around, put
a piece on the counter and spray it with CCU. Now THAT is bleaching
action fast. LOL.
I digress. Back to the trays. Those are the trays I keep my cleaning cloths
in. In fact, I'm up to two trays full, so it is time to do a small load of them.
When they come out of the washer, I fill the trays up with soapy cleaning
solution and start cleaning, putting the dirty cloths into one tray. This helps
in that you don't have to keep rinsing the same nasty rag out, but you can
have a new clean one every so often. You won't believe how much easier
it is to clean with a good number of rags than using just one.
Some days I call my rag days, though that sounds funny, so I don't tell too
many folks. Rag Days are the days I use up both trays of cleaning cloths,
whether it's cleaning just floors or just windows.
Isn't it sad to be so wrapped up in cleaning? LOL

WUVIE, your are definitely neater than I am. I just hang a plastic grocery bag on the inside doorknob of the laundry. Rags go in there, and when I run out I do a quick load of rag laundry. I used to use paper towels for cleaning until I discovered that rags do a much better job, and save a lot of trees.

I too am a fan of CCU. We live in an old house with the deep, white enamel sinks and tubs and they are so easily stained (especially the kitchen sink what with all of the food prep, etc) CCU gets them so white and clean looking again, no scrubbing required.

For all of you that hate ironing (as I do), have you looked into a steamer for your clothes? A number of years ago, my sister gave me her professional clothes steamer (like the kind you see in a dress store). I used it constantly until the handle on it broke and we could not replace it. My daughter found one in Linens N'Things for less than $100.00. I just bought one as part of a wedding gift for a bride who found her gown all wrinkled the morning of her wedding [and I was called in as the emergency wrinkle releaser - very scary job!!!]. These are steamers for clothers - not the hand-held type seen on infomercials for cleaning. Linens N'Things offers 20% off coupons (search online) and you can buy it for about $70.00. Every morning I hang my clothes out, plug in the steamer and go over any wrinkles. Less than 2 - 3 minutes for my work outfits to look great. It's has made my life much easier.
PS - I saw the groom from the above mentioned wedding recently and he could not stop thanking me for such a great gift! He told me he does all his own clothes with it. |

for my coffee cups and pot i use salt. i learned this working in a restaurant when i was young. put salt and crushed ice in your coffee pot and swirl it around. it's like magic.

Best product for almost everything is Greased Lightning. We use that and bleach at the restaurant for the most serious problems. I have removed 20 years of cigarette smoke stains from aluminum window frames with a spritz of GL - wait a few minutes and wipe away with a wet towel. Windex seems to the the recommended table cleaning solution from the local health department.
Any brand of bleach with the proper amount of clorine will sterilize ANYTHING. Even being used by the medical community after years of using other products to thouroughly clean OR suites, etc.
Proper dishwashing in a restaurant involves 4 steps: 1) wash with warm soapy water, 2) rinse with clean hot water, 3) sanitize in a hot solution with bleach (1 capful/gallon), 4) air dry.
For home dishwashing, Dawn now has a product with bleach. Other vendors will not be far behind this trend. |

Dawn's product doesn't have regular chlorine bleach, it has something else more like what you might find in the "bleaches" that are safe for colors. I'm sure it gets your dishes clean, but it won't sanitize like the regular bleach would. |

Here's a weird one: My dau started her period and got blood on a new pair of jeans and a pair of white cotton shorts. I was afraid of using anything real strong on the jeans because I didn't want to bleach them so I poured PEROXIDE on the stain and scrubbed it with a brush. It faded - alot - so I did it again. Would you believe the entire stain is gone and the fabric did not fade?! I did the same with the shorts, soaking the stain and scrubbing a few times, and they came out perfectly. Next I tried it on a brand new, beautiful lavender sheet set. Again, I can't tell it was ever stained.
Why would I try peroxide? I use Listerine Whitening to rinse my teeth every day and it contains, what else, peroxide. |

Downy Wrinkle Releaser not available around here.
Sob. I guess it just isn't meant to be. I've looked in three area Wal Marts, though
it doesn't surprise me.
Our local store doesn't even carry large cans of
Campbell's Bean and Bacon. I mean, come on, what's the deal? The only
big cans we get are chicken noodle, tomato and sometimes cream of mushroom.

I might check a few places other than Walmart--they like to carry the things that are the biggest sellers of each brand, so if Wrinkle Releaser didn't sell as well in your area they may have decided not to waste their shelf space with it. Do you have a Target near you? I'm pretty sure I've seen it there too. Or you could make your own--take some liquid fabric softener and dilute it with a lot of water, should give you a similar effect (you may need to experiment a bit to get the right concentration, I've never tried that myself so I don't know what the right amount would be, probably not very much though). |

Not that I know of--they make fabric refresher, but all it does is get rid of odors. Although to the extent that spraying something wrinkly with a little water and smoothing it out would work a little bit to get rid of wrinkles, Febreze could do the same thing. |

DOWNY WRINKLE RELEASER - I dug deep and found this blurb on the Downy web site: [HYPERLINK@www.downy.com.] Downy's parent company apparently is Proctor & Gamble. They say this:
P&G has a licensing agreement with Changing Paradigms, LLC., which results in their having ownership for the manufacture, sales and service of Downy Wrinkle Releaser. You can contact Changing Paradigms by writing or calling:
Changing Paradigms LLC
7786 Service Center Dr.
West Chester OH 45069
1-800-220-0214
[e-mail:lbragle@cparadigms.com]
These people do sell Wrinkle Releaser online. [HYPERLINK@www.downyez.com]
$19.99 for three 33 oz bottles
$1.00 off coupon on line
$7.99 s/h
The shipping is high, but 33 oz. bottles are huge. The store versions are only 16.9 oz and cost $3.99 at Wal-Mart. It would be worth a toll-free call to see if they will send a free sample. And also to ask why it's not available at your local Wal-Mart. Never hurts to try.

I use ammonia for cleaning exterior windows, my Dyson vac on carpet, a Swiffer Vac then Wet Jet on hard surface floors, Dawn dish soap, some brand of dishwasher tabs, Lysol Toilet Bowl cleaner (new house, cleaned often, soft water), liquid fabric soap (Costco brand for HE washers) generic "bounce", and Windex. That's it... occasional stains on my slate floors get white vinegar. I do not think I've used hardly anything else on this house in the last year. I feather dust once per week. Oh and Soft scrub on the teen's bathroom (I try to stay out of there as much as possible!) |

My favorite is the geranium scented Mrs. Meyers for everyday cleaning. Unless, of course, we are in the situation we are now- crazy weather here in south Forida. So then I have to say my fave is straight bleach. And then some jugs of white vinegar to neutralize that caustic base. :)

•Claire Burke Original $8+ in a sort of yellow tan box with sage color writing that says ORIGINAL - a wonderful eucalyptus room spray. There are candles and potpourri, too. Can usually get at Penny’s or Dillards or Post/Base Exchanges. I use this spray sparingly because of the cost, but the scent is just wonderful and clean.

Have ya'll ever heard of "Awesome" from the dollar store?? It's in a spray bottle and costs $1... this stuff lives up to its name BIG TIME!! I use it as a pretreater for laundry stains, cleaning out the dog kennel, sparying down lawn furniture and then hosing off... anything that needs "degreasing". It works REALLY good... try it! |

Greased Lighting is great for a luandry pre-treatment
Whink for toliets is a must for stains
wood floors I use Orange Clean brand (don't remember the name)
Carpets I use my Dyson (no other Vacuum comes close) |

I love Clorox Cleanup, and I like "Awesome" too, but I couldn't live without my Dow scrubbing bubbles - I use it for any of my little porcelain figurines, any of my cut glass vases, silk flowers, my little wooden angels that have the fake curly hair - just throw it in the sink, spray it, and them rinse it off - looks like new every time. |

I have found two new products for cleaning: Swiffer for dusting and floor mopping and Windex with white vinegar to clean my stovetop, drainboards and bathroom basins. The toilet with the rings have me puzzledk but I'd accept suggestions. ???

Whink will take the rings off the toilet better than anything I've found |
