10 best cleaning products recommended by professionals

No one enjoys the task of cleaning. Let’s be honest it’s hard work, tedious and tiring. At the end of a long work day this is this last thing that anyone wants to do. If you share this sentiment then we recommend hiring a professional house cleaning or maid service to help ease this burden.

We know that hiring professionals is not always possible, so we are giving our list of the 10 best cleaning products that are on the market. We have found that using these makes the process easier for us and we hope it makes the process easier for you as well.

It is no hidden fact that once you get into the groove of cleaning and start tackling the mess it is not as bad as you thought. You might even find pleasure seeing the before and after results. Once you tackle the deep cleaning required you can begin routine cleaning and it will only take a fraction of the time.

Bon Ami Powder Cleanser

Bon Ami is one of our favorite items when cleaning in the kitchen and the bathroom. It is safe due to the non-toxic formula the company created in 1886. Yes, the company is over 100 years old! There is a reason they lasted this long and it is because the product works wonders.

What is Bon Ami? Bon Ami is a powder cleanser formulated from mild mineral abrasives that allow you to gently clean and polish everyday surfaces. When you think Bon Ami think all purpose cleaner.

 

Where to Use Bon Ami

The product has so many uses from kitchens to bathrooms, but our absolute favorite place to use Bon Ami is on showers and bathtubs. Anytime there are black stains on the shower floor we sprinkle some of this powder cleanser over the top. Then we spray another liquid cleaner over the powder and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. After the 10-15 minutes has passed we come back and scrub it out the stain.

A product comparison to Bon Ami is baking soda or Comet. The reason we find Bon Ami to be a superior to others is because it is non-toxic. You can have peace of mind knowing you, your children and pets are safe while also deep cleaning with this powder.

Mighty Mite Canister Vacuum Cleaner

This lightweight canister vacuum works wonders on bare floor surfaces. If you have tile, hardwood or stained concrete this vacuum will change your life. The stick part of the vacuum is ergonomic in nature and won’t cause back pain with extended use.

As cleaning professionals we know that using a vacuum on bare floors is a far superior cleaning method than sweeping. When you sweep all you do is push dust and dirt particles up in the air. This is bad for the air quality in the room and eventually the dust will settle creating a never ending task of sweeping.
