An all-purpose cleaner is a space saver and an important tool in every home’s cleaning toolbox. They are safe to use for tackling messes on a variety of surfaces across all the rooms of your home, from countertops, painted walls, floors, appliances, bathroom, and kitchen surfaces. The best ones will cut through grease and wipe up grime without tough scrubbing or leaving any residue behind. They are available in all sizes and scents, plus there are options with vinegar, bleach, and plant-based ingredients. That’s why today we bring you in this blog the best all purpose cleaners for every mess.
Do all-purpose cleaners kill germs and disinfect?
Some do, but not all. Keep in mind that any cleaning and wiping method will physically remove some germs from a surface, but not to kill them. Sanitizing and disinfecting cleaners go the extra mile and can kill germs, usually bacteria and viruses, on hard non-porous surfaces.
Remember that a surface must be cleaned first before the sanitizing and disinfecting ingredients can work, and it must remain wet for the time required on the product label to be effective. Sometimes, this means you have to reapply the product if it dries too quickly.
What to look for when shopping for the best all-purpose cleaners
Surfaces: These multi-purpose cleaners can usually clean most non-porous surfaces, but it is still important to make sure the surface you want to clean is listed on the label. Even if an all-purpose cleaner says it can be used on a particular surface, spot-test the product on a hidden corner to be sure that it won’t cause any damage.
Form: Most all-purpose cleaners come as trigger sprays, ready to use straight from the bottle. Others are liquids that you dilute with water in a bucket or basin. You can even find them in a paste-and-wipe form. Which you choose depends on the job you need to do and which you find easiest and most convenient to use. Some liquid and foaming multi-purpose cleaners leave behind a soapy residue on the surfaces you clean. For these cleaners, wipe with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove the excess cleaner. Wipes are great for quick clean-ups of small messes or to use in your car interior.
Size: Small bottles of spray cleaners are usually best for small, targeted areas, like walls, counters, and stovetops, while larger bottles that can be diluted are well-suited for big jobs and cleaning large areas, like floors and outdoor furniture.
