Best cleaning products of 2021 – Part 1

 

There as many cleaning products available as many stars are on the sky. New ones are keep coming out even though we aren’t even familiar with the old ones. Some are cheap but has a lovely package, some are expensive and gives you the posh feeling. But which ones are actually useful??

I’m always sceptical when it comes to new, overhyped, overly promoted products. I always think its just marketing, and of course all products are The Best, The Only One You Need, The One That Does the Work Instead of You, and you’ve got to buy it!!! So, in the last few years I’ve been experimenting with new products: I’ve tried many of them, but only those which have been recommended by trusted people, friends and family. I’ve collected the ones that are my favourite: the ones that actually saves you time, saves you money and really makes cleaning much easier and fun. So here is my list.

Best cleaning products – Sph2onge cloth and block

I just love it!!! Seriously!! Its literally life changing. I’ve never seen such a product before! It took me a while to get used to it, but now I couldn’t be without it.

• First of all, why is it so special? It’s made of a rubber polymer, which makes it feel rubbery but still spongey. Thanks to that, its able to absorb a huge amount of liquid: up to 8x its own weight. Crazy!! It’s really useful with spillages, to dry up the water after cleaning the bathroom or drying up water from the fridge after defrosting.
• Once it’s got all the water in, it won’t leak: it will hold all the liquid up until you wring it.
• It’s also amazing for wet dusting: it will grab all the dust and dirt, but they won’t stick into the cloth. You can simply rinse the dirt and hair off of the Sph2onge and it looks like new again. It’s extremely useful for pet owners, as it collects all the pet fur easily: from any hard surface, carpets and upholstery.
• On top of that, when you wring it out properly, it won’t leave streaks behind. As a results, it’s one of the best things to use to clean windows or those glossy kitchen cupboards, that usually get dirty in a split of a second, typically right after you cleaned it…

 

Best cleaning products – Scrub Daddy

I never knew why is it such a big deal, why does everyone like it so much? So I had to try it and oh God I’m happy I did! It’s just great!

What to use it on?

It’s best to use on delicate surfaces, as it won’t scratch the surface, but will clean any stubborn dirt off of it. I love to use it on hobs, ovens, tiles and glossy surfaces. Unlike steel scourers, it won’t leave grey marks behind. As a result it’s the best thing to use on ceramic, cast iron and resin sinks. Of course, it’s also useful with any other sinks, let it be a common stainless steel one or a copper, as it won’t scratch the surface. It’s also a great help doing the washing up.

How does it work?

When you use it in cold water, it’s firm, so it can tackle the toughest dirts without using harsh chemicals. But once you use it in warm water, it turns to be a gentle, soft sponge. What’s not to love about it?

 

Best cleaning products – The Pink Stuff

I have never believed in this product. I’m not gonna lie, I thought it’s just way cheap to be as good as people say it is. The packaging also didn’t convince me, as to me it’s just seemed to be very cheap compared to their competitors.

Anyhow, a few months ago I’ve finally got myself to buy The Miracle Cleaning Paste and oh why I didn’t do it earlier?! In a nutshell: it cleans any dirt you have. Literally any!

• It removes limescale – not the tough and heavily built-up limescale, but it’s great for general limescale removal, especially on the sinks.
• Cleans hobs without scratching it – use it with a dry, firm Scrub Daddy and I guarantee you will have a scratch-free, clean hob in 2 minutes!
• Cleans ovens and oven racks – again, it’s not for those ovens that have a heavily built-up, burned grease on the bottom. But it’s amazing for regular cleaning of the oven, to help you keep on top of the cleaning.
• It cleans shoes – apply the paste to the shoes, leave it on for 15 minutes, wipe off and wash the shoes in the washing machine. Here is the full story.
• And last but not least, the main reason why I love it: it removes marks. Marks on doors, skirting boards, tiles, hard floors, ceramic sinks, bathtubs. Even those marks you thought that would never come off, the paste will remove it! And no, the marks won’t come back after you wipe the surface – I’ve tested it!

 

Another amazing product from The Pink Stuff range is The Miracle Bathroom Foam Cleaner. Spray it on the shower screen, leave it for a few minutes to work, scrub with a Marigold Scrubaway pad, rinse and done. It’s not only powerful, but it also smells amazing! Again, it’s not for the toughest and heavily built-up limescale, but it’s a must have for general cleaning of your bathroom.

( I will explain my love towards Marigold Scrubaway in an upcoming post )

 

To be continued…

Well, I have planned to include waaay more products in this article, but soon I’ve realised that it won’t happen. There are just too many interesting and useful things to say about each products.  These features are not often mentioned and I wanted to include as many of them as I could.

And before you would think that it’s just another paid promotion – (sadly) it’s not. None of my product recommendations are ads. I recommend these products simply based on my and my team’s experience.

I hope you enjoyed the post and found it useful. Let me know if you’ve tried any of these products and if you have found another use for them that I didn’t mention. See you in part 2.
