5 Must Have's That All Professional Cleaners Swear By - Page 2 of 2

Cleaning doesn't need to be this daunting and dreadful task. If you're feeling overwhelmed, just do a room a day. By the end of the week, you'll have most (if not all) of your house complete. It can actually be quite a refreshing process. With these cleaning products recommended by the pros, your house will not only look great, but it'll smell and feel great too. There's not a better way to start out the warm months!

Baking Soda

Bryn O'Connor at NYC and Chicago-based cleaning company MyClean swears by it. O'Connor noted that baking soda is safe enough to cook with, but also strong enough to take on tough cleaning tasks like degreasing a messy kitchen, cleaning a grimy bathtub and even neutralizing pet odors.

Disinfectant Wipes

Disinfectant wipes are the key to keeping gadgets like your TV remote, phone, laptop and even kid's toys clean, according to Olivia Joyce at Move Out Mates, a London-based end of tenancy cleaning service.

Sponge Cloths

“I keep them around the sinks in the kitchen and bathroom and use them to quickly wipe off any liquids, be they spills or splashes,” Joyce said. She also pointed out that sponge cloths are great for dusting.

Krud Kutter

For an effective all-purpose cleaner that's tough on grease, Jonathan Browne, owner of Sparkle Cleans Maid Service, suggests a product called Krud Kutter. “I like to dilute this 6 parts water to 1 part Krud Kutter for a super effective general purpose cleaner thats non toxic and eco-friendly. Full strength it's one of the more effective grease cutters for cleaning stoves, pans, and other greasy messes.” Browne noted that it's easy to find online or at stores like Lowe's, not to mention inexpensive.

Probiotic Cleaner

“There's a product called P2 Probiotic Cleaner that is absolutely amazing,” he said. “It's definitely a general purpose cleaner—not a grease cutting powerhouse—but for general purpose cleaning it has a unique advantage nothing else has. It's made from probiotics and enzymes. It actually keeps cleaning surfaces of germs for up to 3 days after being applied and wiped off with a paper towel.”
