 Pledge - I dust first with the vacuum and then use Pledge
The Works - Toilet Bowl cleaner.
Mr. Clean Febreze - for the floors.
Dawn Dish Soap
Cascade Gel for the dishwasher - prefer the orange.
And for deep cleaning - always a Kirby vacuum | ||

 Dawn
Pledge Reguvenating Polish or Lemon Oil
Lemon Oil for Wood Cabinets in Kitchen and Baths
Pinsol Cleaner for Bathroom and Lysol Toilet Bowl Cleaner
Windex for Glass and Figurines
Homemade Window Cleaner for windows. You can find several variations online. Mine has a 3rd teaspoon of dawn, mixed with regular vinegar, not apple cider, and water. I use an old windex bottle and mark on it homemade window cleaner. This is good stuff. Be sure to shake it up before you use it.
Tile floors I use a micro fiber mop with Shaw Hard Surface Floor Cleaner. When washing mop pads, I use a higher rinse level to get soap out....so they won't streak when you use them again.......Be sure to vacuum hard surface floors first.....
Lambs wool Dusters in different lengths. I have high vaulted ceilings and ceiling fans. I can stand on a step ladder to dust them. Don't forget the globes as well. I have ledges as well that I keep plants on and I use my Kirby with the longer extended hose and wall brush to clean them. Lambs wool duster will work as long as you don't let much dust settle between cleanings......I also have wood blinds in all my rooms and the lambs wool duster works great on them as well. If you haven't cleaned the blinds in a while use a canister vacuum with a horse hair dusting brush. This works the best.....
For antique wood furniture that seems to be drying out. Kramers Antique furniture improver. Be sure to follow the instructions. One of my grandmothers antique tables had a water mark on it and I saw this at a flee market. The gentleman told me it would remove the water mark, but I would need to keep putting it on until the mark finally gone. I just about gave up, but then I noticed the water mark getting less and less, until it was gone.....I believe you can find Kramers on Amazon......
Lastly I use Micro Fiber Cloths to dust, polish etc, but I use one for each one. I like the 20 gram as they are not as thick and can get into tight places. I have bought thicker when they were out of stock, but I prefer the 20 gram. Then I use one for just glass mirrors.
Since I am a collector, I obviously have many vacuums. Uprights, canisters (with power nozzles) , and Rainbows.
Sincerely,
PR-21 Bud

My ex was very generous and left me with an assortment of cleaning products. I personally feel that the older cleaners had stronger chemicals and cleaned thoroughly. I've used the dollar tree brand cleaning products and felt like they didn't clean as well. Although, LA's awesome cleaner seems to work fairly well. I also shop estate sales and pickup the older cleaning products when I see them.
I also use Lemon Pledge and a Kirby for deep cleaning. Can't beat it! Although, the convertibles work fairly well! The problem I've been having with the convertibles lately is the belts snapping. Most of mine are old and dry rotted. I just ordered some fresh ones. | ||

The KitchenAid Superba works best with Great Value powder and Lemi-Shine to soften the hard water we have in Missouri's Ozarks.
The Speed Queen works best with Purex liquid and Roma powder sprinkled in until I get a layer of suds. My Speed Queen was made to wash with the lid UP, so I can add more detergent at any point in the wash cycle. Aldi's fabric softener for the rinse. Hand washing dishes - Joy liquid. Floors (in the Hoover FloorMate or the Lux Floor Pro) - Spic & Span liquid floor cleaner. I also like Ajax cleanser over Comet. | ||

Coincidence
Joy is made by the same company as Dawn. I noticed since oil spill in gulf of Mexico Dawn cleaning off the oil covered birds shifted the tide. I would dare say same substance.
Tide and gain are made by same company. I'd say tide is a touch better but I use both. With Comet spray foam cleaner, Bar Keepers friend spray foam, scrubbing bubbles spray foam are great for toilets. You spray it on spray it off and you don't have to worry. | ||

Lol,
Just kidding.
I just couldn't resist. I just have a sense of humor that most people don't seem to get. Truth be told, I'm not the "Mr. Clean" that I got nicknamed at home when I was young. Full time job and health issues just tend to take most of my time and energy. There are a few products that I like. We actually use both Windex and Sprayway for glass. Not at the same time. We tend to use Pledge or Guardsman when we polish furniture or woodwork. Dawn for dishes. Tide powder or liquid most of the time for laundry. I just got some older Spic and Span that my mom was going to throw away. That was one that she always bought when I was young, and the scent takes me back to childhood days, when I used to help her clean. I used it most recently on the floors in our bathrooms. Barry | ||

Going down the l list.
Pledge and Murphy Oil Soap for wood products.
Windex for glass metal. Lysol Scrubbing Bubbles for the bathroom tub, shower and vanity. Clorox Cleaning Wand for the toilet. Lysol Kitchen Pro for counters and appliances. Bleach for different things. Mister Clean or Pine Sol for floors and different surfaces like around the toilet base and outside of the bathtub. Bar Keepers friend for my pots and pans if they are stained. Cascade pods for the dishwasher. Dawn dish soap. Hoover steam mate for cleaning carpets. Spin mop. And either the Rainbow or my Lux Classic. Lately it's more the Lux for a time thing. | ||
