GENERAL CLEANING PRODUCTS

Glass cleaner. Glass cleaner is specially formulated for glass surfaces like windows and tables so that you can get an effective clean without leaving behind streaks or smears.

Wood cleaner. Similar to glass cleaner, wood cleaner is a one-surface-specific cleaner that, in this case, is optimized for use on wood. This is important to have, since both all-purpose cleaning sprays and water can damage wood and varnish.

Antibacterial spray or wipes. Antibacterial cleaning products disinfect and sanitize to kill germs in your home. Use in addition to an all-purpose cleaner, especially in germ-heavy spaces like the kitchen and bathroom.

Tile cleaner with bleach. Soap scum, mold, mildew, and rust build-up are all par for the course in baths and showers. A tile cleaner with bleach can remove this type of unsightly grime, 

Toilet bowl cleaner. A bleach-based toilet bowl cleaner makes getting a clean toilet a cinch
