Good old fashioned cleaner. Removes scale and rust. Cleans sinks, toilets and has just enough grit to it that it may scratch some sensitive surfaces but when you need a little bit of elbow grease this is my favorite. Just don't get the liquid on your clothes as the bleach will affect it.
COMET Cleaning Powder with Bleach 600g ...
Great stand by to keep your fridge clean smelling. I'm sure you could use it as a cleaner once it quit deoderizing your fridge so kind of a multipurpose cleaner.
Arm & Hammer Fridge-N-Freezer Baking Soda, 500 g
My son bought me one to try and although I though it was cute I never used it for about 6 months then one day I didn't have any other scrubber for my non-stick pan and tried it. You use it dry for a tough situation because once it's wet it softens. Works great in both wet and dry as long as you know it needs to be dry to get baked on stuff and it is cute.
Scrub Daddy Scrub Mommy Sponge, Pink, Soft in Warm Water, Firm in Cold Water, 1 Count, Scrub Mommy Sponge, Pink
I've used this for years it's sort of like the powdered cleanser but with liquid. It works well with good scrubbing action just be mindful this one has bleach and will affect your clothing. That's advice from someone who's ruined my fav top.
Vim PureBoost™ Multi-purpose Cleaner with Bleach, 750 ml Multi-purpose Cleaner
If you want to be relaxed and calm while scrubbing your floors this one will do it. The lavender scent is great although I suspect it's just a chemical scent but a good all around cleaner
Great Value Lavender All Purpose Concentrated Cleaner and Disinfectant, 1.4 L
These Microfiber cloths really changed my life. I know it sound silly but I had my own cleaning company for years and used regular rags, old towels etc. But a new Microfiber cloth cut my cleaning time in half easily. It picks up and holds the dirt like no other cloth. Just be sure you don't ever use fabric softner with it or it will cease to work.

Nice to have these handy if you suspect something is not sanitary like a toilet seat or a sink after cutting chicken. Door handles etc. They got a lot of use during the Covid scare.

If you're not a fan of getting down on your knees and stretching out over a tub then this works very well to clean the tub and tiles. Otherwise it's only happening once a month
Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Extendable Tub and Tile ...
Just bought my daughter a pack of these. She doesn't have a lot of time and saving up the dishcloths then washing them together was one less thing to worry about. These became very popular years ago when people realized you could use them for gross jobs and or jobs where you'd stain your good dishcloths so they're great for that too.
J Cloth - Cleaning Cloth For Everyday Cleaning, 8 Cloths
This one surprised me. I've been cleaning for many years because I'm old and because I had a cleaning company. I always heard that people used vinegar but had always used windex. Then one job was cleaning six floor to ceiling windows around a pool with hard water splashes on it. I tried all the cleaners but nothing worked until I used this. Now I'm impressed. Plus it clears out your sinuses while you clean and it's natural so you're not inhaling toxic chemicals. I just learned that it works great for your windshield. The person had used windex and many other cleaners including methol hydrate there were so angry at the smeary film which blinded you when driving into the sun but this apparently did the job.
Allen's Double Strength Cleaning Vinegar, 2.5L
Very sturdy strong bristled scrubber for when you really mean business and have a mess to clean like the grout between tiles or a wood surface.
Great Value Household Scrubber Brush, Sold individually
I'm so thankful they invented these. They are so versatile. If I have a cleaning situation and nothing else works I try them and they rarely let me down. Great for marks on walls, floors and I recently discovered they work dry or wet on car windows. You know the gunk you get during the summer when bugs hit the windshield well they take it off too,
Mr Clean Magic Eraser Extra Power, 2 Count
Good quality mop bucket that works with any round mop. I've had several and don't ever recall having to replace them. They're built to last unlike a lot of other things.
Vileda QuickWring Bucket - Built-in Wringer, Fast Drying Floors, 10 L
Someone in my family bought one thinking they were doing me a favor. They are great for quick pick ups and small areas. Just beware it it's all your using you are leaving behind a fair bit of grime especially in areas where you can't really press down easily like corners. I found it picked up dust and grime then deposited it in those hard to reach areas but great for that quick spill.
Vileda ProMist MAX Spray Mop – Microfibre Double-Sided Mop, 1 Piece
These are good general duty not scratching scrubbers. They can be handy in a variety of places. I always have them on hand.
Scotch-Brite® Heavy Duty Scrub Sponge, 3 Pack
Another old fashioned work horse that I've used on ovens, grills or any caked on dirt. Don't use too much water but rather just dampen it. You can rinse it a few times and then just throw it away when done as it will rust if you keep it. Anytime I am facing a job that looks overwhelming I want these.
S.O.S Steel Wool Soap Pads, 10 Count, With long-lasting soap
These work well on regular daily messes on your cooktop. If you have an older or burnt on one use a straight razor blade then polish with these.
Weiman Cook Top Pads, Cook Top Pads
Love these things especially if you have decorations or knick knacks that need dusting. One of my jobs the person was a hoarder of knick knacks and wanted them dusted but we weren't allowed to pick anything up in case we broke it. Other places had pictures and wall ornaments up too high to reach. These work perfect for those times.
Vileda Flex & Catch Heavy Duty Duster for Cleaning, 3 ft. ...
A great cleaner for wood products, furniture and it leaves a nice shine to it.
Murphy Oil Soap Clean & Shine, Multi-Use Wood Cleaner Spray, 650 mL
A great every day cleaner like it says and the best part is the wonderful scent. Perfect for light cleaning and refreshing your area because some cleaners that are not harmful also have no scent and somehow no matter how good it looks if people can't smell something they think you did't do any cleaning,
Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Multi-Surface Everyday Cleaner, 473ml, Lemon Verbena, Multi surface spray removes stuck on dirt
Another general purpose cleaner for light or daily cleaning. Works for what it's supposed to.
Clorox® Green Works® All-Purpose Cleaner Spray, 946 mL, Removes grime, dirt and grease
Nice toilet bowl cleaner that aims where you want it and stays where you put it so you have time to brush it into the stains before it slides into the water. Does the job.
Lysol Bathroom Cleaning- Toilet Bowl Cleaner, BLEACH, 2x710ML
I always have these on hand as they are indispensible for heavy dirt areas like the burnt on baking dishes or frypans. Just remember they will scratch and on some surfaces leave marks.
Great Value Stainless Steel Scrubber, 3 Pack
I used this at one of my cleaning jobs as the customer always had it and wanted me to only use it. It's quick and works well in the middle of the floor high traffic areas but it seems to leave the dust behind in the corners unless you used a lot of pressure on the mop so just beware that after a few weeks the corners needed a regular cleaning.
Bona Hardwood Floor Disposable Wet Cleaning Pads, 12 Count, Quick and Easy Cleaning
Yes it's a great pot and pan brush but it also works very well if you purchase one for your toilet. It get into much tighter spaces and under the rim much better than regular toilet brushes.
Great Value Pot & Pan Brush, Sold individually
I've been using this for years. It smells horrid and protect yourself from breathing in the fumes. Put paper towels down wherever it may ooze out like around the bottom of the door, always wear rubber gloves and for the best bet spray it before bed and clean in the morning. It takes everything off.
Easy Off, Heavy Duty, Oven Cleaner, Lemon, Trigger, 475 ml, 475 mL
Windex works, it smells and they say don't breathe it in but it definately does the job unless you have lots of water spots
Windex® Glass Cleaner Refill, Original, 2L, Refill
I don't really notice a difference between this and windex they both work and smell bad but do the job
Great Value Glass Cleaner with Ammonia, 950 mL
I've used this one lots and it smells nice and works on counters and hard surfaces but if you need to do windows too and you only want one cleaner go with the window cleaner to clean counters rather than the counter cleaner to clean windows because a...
Windex® Multi-surface Cleaner with Lavender Scent ...
Some people perfer this cleaner to windex but I'm not sure why. They both work and clean the windows without streaks.

Works great for all cleaning while disinfecting on most surfaces. Nice on floors and in bathrooms.
Great Value All-Purpose Concentrated Cleaner and Disinfectant, 1.2 L
I can't forget a cleaning staple. This works very well on grease to wash dishes, floors around your stove etc. It also works on grease stains on your clothing. Just pour some dawn on the grease spot and leave it overnight then throw in the washing ma...

This is an excellent answer to so many cleaning problems and it's not hard work like scrubbing. The hotel I worked at for awhile had issues with grout and this worked amazing on it. It cleans that yucky grime around faucets, in corners around the shower stalls or tubs. The heat and pressurized water means no scrubbing plus it's so fun to use the man in the house may volunteer.
Dirt Devil Handheld Portable Steam Cleaner for Tile, Grout, Windows, Bathrooms, Kitchens, Appliances, 5-Piece Set, WD21010
These are the best ever for getting that cat toy that always ends up under the furniture and for ceiling fans yes but also high cupboards and spiderwebs, cobwebs plus it's so easy it doesn't even feel like work. If you have an older child it makes a great chore for them.
Microfibre Duster for High Ceilings, Duster for Cleaning Fan Cobweb, 100" Telescopic Extension Pole Kit, Reusable Duster, Washable Lightweight Duster for Ceiling Fan Webs, Blinds
These are wonderful. I've used one for years. They work miracles on wood floors especially the dark ones that show every streak and speck of dust. No buckets of water just fill it an go.
Shark Steam Mop for Sanitizing* Sealed Hard floors, Removable Water Tank, Machine Washable Pad, Lightweight, S1000WM
This little guy is light, easy to use and powerful. I have a big clunky on that is so strong you have to break the suction if it finds a loose carpet or sock but I have carpet near the door with deep grooves and this little Shark vaccum is amazing it's the only one that can take orange cat hair off a ... I use it on the chairs or anywhere the cat has been and then just dump the cup. I love mine.
Shark Rocket Corded Stick Vacuum, Carpet and Hardfloors, Pet Friendly, Swivel Steering, Removable Handheld, HV200 Blue - Walmart.com
Seems like an odd cleaning item but if you ever put something on an item or wall with double sided sticky tape this will take it off. Just grab a scraper or spatula if you have a thin metal one slide it behind the tape as much as you can and stray with wd40 then use the scraper to separate it. It takes some force but will even help with the clean up of leftover residue.
Classic WD-40 Formula, Multi-Use Product with Smart Straw Sprays 2 Ways, Multi-Purpose Lubricant Spray, 12 oz
The best paint remover from clothing I've ever found. I had a job painting and every day I came home with clothes that were ruined. I piled them in a stack thinking I'd have to thow them out but read a tip somewhere and poured alcohol on it. Let it sit til it evaporates, rub together, repeat until done. Wash it and it should be good. Try a safe corner somewhere in case it makes the colors run. Beware it even takes the color out of tile. I was impressed because some of the clothing with paint was a year old.
Equate 70% Isopropyl Alcohol Antiseptic, 32 fl oz
If you have tried everything you can think of to clean your toilet like bleach, cleaners and things to leave in the toilet tank but nothing is working try one of these. They are reasonably priced and they will remove those toilet stains, rings or marks like nothing else will.
