Need a good household cleaner...

[G35stilez]

Something that is reasonably powerful, kills germs, is streak free on glass/black, and won't do any damage over time.


Liz and I have been using Windex with some vinegar in it, but just the fact that we are using *Windex* leaves me uneasy...Detailing has given it such a bad name . I was thinking of a vinegar mix or maybe IPA cut 50/50 with water.


Any and all feedback is welcomed .

We use the Lysol APC from Costco(yellow, @$6 a gallon), it would fill all of your needs, but the glass is pushing it. I always use a dedicted glass cleaner instead.....

what is the surface you're cleaning?

aerosol window cleaner

Tom: Earthstone counters, stainless steel sinks, glass oven top, black microwave/oven fronts, glass table, marble bathrooms, porcelain thrones.

We try to polish everything about once every two months, but are just looking for a daily cleaner.


Thanks .

I use one of the windex products in our kitchen where we have similar surfaces.

I guess I'd suggest Bartender's Friend for the sink. SprayWay makes a killer product for SS but it's not intended for the sink.

When I am in the mood, I'll use a specialty plastic polish/spray on the hi-gloss black plastic panels (microwave, oven, dishwasher control panel, etc.). Honestly, Sean, I can't think of a single product that would do all. I hate to say it but Windex is a very good catch-all due to its sanitizing quality, IMO. Ohh, I've got some good stuff for the marble floors...can't recall the name. You need to be cautious with marble.

use a hot damp wash cloth and scrub it on any needed surface and chase it with a bounty paper towel (to clean the streaks off). this is basically free and turns great results, next to using aerosal glass cleaner and bounty paper towel. this is what i use to clean my household stuff.

I, too, use Lysol APC. For daily clean-ups, I use the Lysol wipes.

I use Charlie's APC. Keep two bottles mixed up- one is 1:1, the other is 1:4. Doesn't work on glass at all though. Stoner's for that. I use the Charlie's on counters, floors, appliances, etc.

Fantastic, 409, Spick n Span. A lot of households can be cleaned with Windex.

Many of the products mentioned here aren't disinfectants.

Clean and disinfected are different things.
