7 Best Cleaning Products for your Home
When it comes to cleaning your home, the right products can make all the difference. But with so many choices on the shelves, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
So, what cleaning supplies do the pros actually recommend?
At Seatown Cleaners, we rely on tried-and-true products every day. Here’s our list of 7 best cleaning products for your home – ones that make house cleaning faster, easier, and more effective.
Dawn Dishwashing Liquid
Dawn isn’t just for dishes—it’s one of the most versatile cleaners out there. This pH-neutral soap is gentle yet powerful, making it safe for most surfaces: hardwood floors, stainless steel, tile, and more.
It’s an excellent degreaser, cuts through tough messes, and is budget-friendly. Many professional cleaners (including us) consider Dawn an essential tool in every cleaning caddy.
Simply mix a few drops with water in a spray bottle, and you have an all-purpose cleaner on hand for a fraction of the cost.
Cleaning Vinegar
Cheap, effective, and eco-friendly, cleaning vinegar is a natural powerhouse. With 6% acidity (slightly stronger than regular white vinegar), it works wonders on grease, soap scum, smudged windows, and dirty floors.
Just dilute 50/50 with water for a safe, effective all-purpose spray.
A word of caution: don’t use vinegar on marble, granite, or solid wood surfaces—it can damage the finish.
Microfiber Towels
If there’s one cleaning tool we couldn’t live without, it’s the microfiber towel. Unlike paper towels, they’re washable, reusable, and incredibly effective at picking up dust, dirt, and bacteria.
-
Use them dry for dusting
-
Use them damp for wiping surfaces
-
Use them after cleaning to polish and shine
They save money, reduce waste, and leave surfaces spotless. Every professional cleaner keeps a stack on hand.
Bar Keeper's Friend
Bar Keepers Friend (BKF) is one of those “once you try it, you’ll never go back” products. Made with oxalic acid, it’s a gentle yet powerful cleaner for sinks, stovetops, ovens, cookware, bathroom fixtures, and even glassware.
It’s especially great for removing stains, rust, and hard water buildup. Just remember to rinse surfaces thoroughly after use.
Krud Kutter
When an all-purpose spray won’t cut it, reach for Krud Kutter. This heavy-duty cleaner tackles grease, grime, and stubborn dirt.
We especially love using it on:
-
Baseboards
-
Stainless steel appliances
-
BBQ grills and ovens
-
Vinyl flooring
Spray, wait 30–60 seconds, and wipe away with a microfiber towel—it really is that easy.
Pumice stone
For those frustrating stains that just won’t budge, a pumice stone is a game-changer. It’s great for toilets, tubs, ovens, and tiles—especially on burnt-on messes and mineral deposits.
Tip: always wet the stone before use to avoid scratching surfaces. Unlike harsh chemical cleaners, pumice stones don’t leave behind residue or mess, making cleanup simple.
Mrs. Meyer's All-Purpose Cleaner
Eco-friendly, biodegradable, and safe for kids and pets, Mrs. Meyer’s is one of our favorite everyday cleaners. It smells fantastic (we love the Lemon Verbena scent) and works well on counters, walls, sinks, and light to moderate stains.
We recommend buying the concentrate so you can adjust the strength for different areas of your home.
