A lot of people shared their favorite products, including $9.80 Halo, $5.40 Gumption and dishwashing detergent.
One other said, “Bicarb soda & white vinegar – Brilliant combination, but also extremely effective all by itself. Can be used in many places too. These are the products almost everyone needs in their home.
A woman said, “Cleaner here. Keep it simple.” Use vinegar and dishwashing soap for wet areas. For glass, use metho (methylated spirit) and spray it and wipe. Mr Bean is my all-purpose cleaner, air freshener and spray.
Another cleaner was added: “A good cleaner for showers is 1/3 cup white vinegar, washing detergent, and water in a spray-bottle.”
One cleaner claimed that she uses metho because it makes tile floors shiny and streak-free.
Cleaning professionals love Bar Keepers Friend because it is all-purpose and does not contain chlorine bleach. It can be used for daily cleaning as well as removing tough stains like lime or rust.
“Bar Keepers Friend” is versatile. I have used it in my kitchens, in ceramic, in stainless steel, and in the bathroom glass screens. The results are incredible, which I recommend highly,” one user said.
Another said that “Barkeepers Friend is Amazing for Shower Screens”

Many others shared their top cleaning tools, which included a toothbrush or mops.
One woman said, “Always keep toothbrushes for clean, you can reach so many small places with a toothbrush,”

A majority of window cleaners stated that Halo was their favorite product for cleaning windows.
Halo glass polish is the best. “My clients comment how stunning their mirrors and glass look,” one of them wrote.
Another person said that Halo was the best glass cleaner. Also, it doesn’t leave a strong odor. You can spray a little on the mirror or glass surface and then wipe it clean with a microfibre towel. No one will know that you used toothpaste or finger smears.
One cleaner said one of the items she always uses for cleaning is Gumption while another revealed she always leaves her client’s home smelling ‘amazing’ with McLintocks vanilla spray
The cleaners stated that they pay close attention to details in the house which are important to their clients.
‘Always take time for attention to detail… I always empty and clean inside of bins throughout properties. One wrote that he would simply fold the toilet roll over and spray the pillows with fluff.
One other said that McLintocks Vanilla Spray can be purchased at your local supermarket. The scent is amazing. The smell is amazing and it can be used on all kitchen surfaces. Get rid of empty bins. Make a pretty little fold of toilet paper. You can make beds, straighten pillows and throws on the couches and fix them.
