As promised, here is the second part of the best cleaning products that are also my personal favourites.

Best cleaning products – Astonish Cream Cleaner with Bleach
Those who follow me on social media know by now, that this is one of my most used chemicals. There are other versions of this cream cleaner with different scents for different areas of the home, but this is The One for me. I just love it! And if I love something then I’m loyal and will use that till the end of my life… Or at least until I find a better product.
So why is it so good?
- First of all, it’s cheap ( it’s only £1 ) – and who doesn’t love cheap bits?!
- Second – it lasts forever, which is amazing!
- Third – it actually works.
But what is it good for?
- Limescale removal: it removes mild limescale from taps, showers and tiles.
- Cleaning of ceramic sinks: if you have a ceramic sink that has some grey and black scratch marks on it, then this product is for you. It removes all those annoying marks along with any coffee or tea stains.
- My personal favourite : it whitens the grouts. If the tile grouts in the bathroom or kitchen turned yellow or has stained, simply grab a toothbrush and this cream cleaner and get scrubbing. I guarantee you’ll have white grouts again!
- Mould removal: since it has bleach in it (which is one of the cure against mould) it’s able to remove mould from the grouts. It’s not effective against heavy mould but it works amazingly against mould that’s just starting to appear.
- +1: it disinfects: it has bleach in it, which helps to sanitize the area that you are cleaning. As a result, it’s a must have for your bathroom.
Best cleaning products – E-cloth
E-cloth has only one job: buffing up shiny surfaces – and she does it like a pro! For a long time I believed that a simple dry microfiber cloth or micro glass cloth will do the job, but oh how wrong I was!
Whereas microfiber and micro glass cloths can leave the area full of smudges and smears, E-cloth won’t disappoint you. But it only works while it’s dry (and clean of course). There’s no magic around it, it’s just a cloth that does its job.
But why is it that good?
You can use it on any shiny areas:
- Windows and Mirrors
- Taps and sinks
- Any glass items – coffee tables, vases, lampshades
- TV and computer screens
- Shower doors & screens
You won’t need to use kitchen rolls any more to clean the glass areas. On top of that, it’s also lint free, so you can have a picture perfect and shiny home.
Best cleaning products – Window vac
For a long time I didn’t understand the point why I should use a window vac. After a few of my friends have recommended it to me, I’ve decided I’ll give it a try. I bought a Karcher window vac and since I’ve got it it’s in a daily use. I have even considered buying a second one, simply because sometimes we have to wait for our turn to use it…
What is it good for?
We use it for anything we can really! In the bathroom, we use it on the shower screens and shower doors. We also use it on the tiles to help them get dry – this way you can avoid having limescale on them again.
Another very obvious way to use it is to clean… drumroll… windows!! And, if by any chance, it leaves a few strikes on the surface, simply use a dry E-cloth to buff up the area. You can also use window vac to clean up spillages or to dry up condensation on your windows.
Why use window vac?
- It saves time – window cleaning takes literally seconds, just like cleaning the shower screens.
- It saves the environment – by avoiding using paper towels or newspapers to clean windows, you can have a huge impact on the environment. We have used to use large amount of paper towels – probably about 4-5 rolls per week, if not more. Since we have our window vac, I have not bought a single one of the paper towels. Of course, E-cloth had a massive affect on not buying paper towels too.
- It saves money – buy not needing to buy paper towels, you will end up saving a significant amount of money.
Who is it for?
Anyone really. But especially for those who want to get the cleaning done quickly and efficiently. It’s great for those who have loads of windows or a conservatory. It’s also a necessity for cleaners, as it speeds up the job and allows you to have great results at all times.
To be continued…
No, I haven’t finished with my list yet – in fact I think I’m only halfway there, if that! There are so many amazing cleaning chemicals and products, that actually helps you clean your home in less time and in a professional way. Let me know if you would like to know more of a certain product or if you are in need of some advice – I’d be happy to help!
Until then, see you in part 3.
