The 1 Cleaning Product That Can Clean Your Entire House (And Save You $100s)

Does your cleaning cupboard have 101 different cleaning products in it?

A cleaner for every room in the house? Bathroom cleaners, kitchen cleaners, floor cleaners, window cleaners. You name it, you probably have it.

What if we told you it was completely unnecessary?

The Ugly Truth About Cleaning Products

All of these cleaning product companies sell you very specific room cleaners to confuse you and make more money from you. That is the uncomfortable truth.

Most of these products share nearly identical ingredients. They are repackaged and repriced with different labels to convince you that you need a separate solution for every surface in your home.

Now you know it is a bunch of marketing nonsense. And there is a silver lining.

The 1 Product You Actually Need: Dishwashing Liquid

If you want an environmentally friendly cleaning product that can clean your entire house, here it is.

At Clean N Co Services, we clean hundreds of Melbourne homes and businesses every year. And dishwashing liquid is the one product that earns its place in every single clean.

Dishwashing liquid is a surfactant. It breaks down grease, lifts grime and rinses clean. Those properties work exactly the same whether you are cleaning a frying pan or a shower screen.

5 Ways to Use Dishwashing Liquid Around Your Home

• Bathrooms: Apply to a damp sponge or scourer and scrub tiles, sinks, taps and shower screens. Rinse clean and dry with a microfibre cloth for a streak-free finish.
• Kitchens: Cut through grease on stovetops, benchtops and splashbacks. A small amount goes a very long way.
• Floors: Add a small squirt to a bucket of warm water and mop as normal. Safe on tiles, vinyl and laminate.
• Windows and Glass: Mix one drop with warm water in a spray bottle. Spray, wipe with a microfibre cloth and finish with a squeegee to eliminate streaks.
• Dishes (of course): Its original purpose, and it still does this better than anything else.

How to Apply It for the Best Results

Apply a small amount to a damp sponge or scourer, scrub the surface, then wipe away with a clean damp cloth. For glass and windows, always follow up with a squeegee or dry microfibre cloth to remove water marks and leave a crystal-clear finish.

For floors, dilution is key. A small squirt in a full bucket of water is all you need. Too much soap leaves a filmy residue.

How Much Will You Actually Save?

A quality bottle of dishwashing liquid costs between $4 and $8 at any Australian supermarket and will last months of whole-home cleaning. Compare that to buying a separate product for every room and the savings quickly reach into the hundreds of dollars every year.

All the best, Liam and Andrew
