Best All-Purpose Bathroom Cleaning Brands

Bathroom cleaning can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. Several great brands on the market can help make the process a little bit easier. Here is my list of proven cleaning brands:

1. Clorox

Without a doubt, Clorox remains one of America’s most-trusted bathroom cleaning brands and has been so for decades.

Any icky situation – you have a Clorox for it. Clorox makes cleaning sprays, wipes, and powders.

They also carry a range of bleach-free all-purpose cleaning products like Clorox® Scentiva® that kill 99.9% of germs and even leave your bathroom smelling fresh and clean. It also eliminates the Covid-19 virus. You can use Scentiva on multiple surfaces safely without worrying about discoloration.

If you want to clean white-colored tiles and need some bleaching action, then go in for their Performance Bleach (CLOROMAX). You can even use it for cleaning white clothes.

Then they also make amazing disinfecting wipes. Recently, the EPA listed Clorox’s bleach-free wipes as an effective product to kill SARS-COVID germs. You also get them in lemon and scent-free options.

My favorite product from CLOROX is their Clorox Disposable Toilet wand. Here are its features:

Features

  • The wand is preloaded with Clorox bleach that kills 99.9% of germs
  • It is a complete cleaning system and you simply discard the toilet-cleaning head after each use.
  • The unique hexagonal-shaped heads ensure the brush reaches hard-to-reach areas.
  • It also features a long handle so you can clean from far.

2. Mr. Clean (Proctor & Gamble)

Next up is Mr. Clean. Mr.Clean came into existence in 1957 when Harry Barnhart conceived the idea of a magic eraser cleaner. Plus, their iconic mascot – the bald man with the white shirt and blue pants – is instantly recognizable by millions of people worldwide.

The brand’s marketing team then roped in talented illustrators who portrayed the brand’s mascot as a muscular, smiling genie with an earring. The genie appears magically anywhere where there is a cleaning job required.

Mr. Clean’s jingles also became very popular. They offer an extensive range of cleaning products, from floor cleaners to all-purpose sprays.

Today, Mr. Clean products are synonymous with the most reliable cleaning brand in the country. Not only their magic eraser their multi-surface disinfectants, multi-purpose cleaners, sprays, liquids, and wipes have all received immense popularity.

Among bath products, Mr.Clean’s eraser bath pads come with a Febreze® scent that leaves your bathroom smelling fresh. Moreover, it promises to remove nearly three times the soap scum as other popular cleaners.

It even works on hard water stains, hardened toothpaste on sinks, hair spray stains, mildew, mold, and grime and grout in tiles. My favorite product from Mr. Clean is this Magic Eraser Extra Durable Multi-purpose Cleaner. You can use it to clean bathrooms, kitchens, car wheels, your BBQ grille, and especially your white tennis shoes.

My favorite Mr. Clean multi-purpose spray is their line of clean freak sprays. You can spray holding the bottles in any direction, and they continue to spray, even upside down. The spray bottles are refillable and work well on various surfaces. Don’t take my word for it; check out the reviews for the clean-freak.

Features

  • Free from harsh chemicals
  • Cleans grills, BBQs, textured surfaces like garden furniture, bathroom, automobiles, shoes, etc.
  • Gets rid of grime, grout, and tough stains
  • Safe (but recommended testing on a small area first).

3. RMR Brands Store

RMR Brands has changed the way America tackles mold and mildew. They use the best processes and ingredients to help tackle mold in homes and industrial and marine setups.

RMR solutions are available for mold, mildew removal, odor tackling, etc. They also have household-bathroom-kitchen and professional-grade disinfectants.

I love their RMR 86 Mold Remover. I have used it in bathrooms and also for cleaning barn stalls. The product kills mold spores and eliminates the ugly stains behind them.

The best part is that you don’t need to sweat too much – simply spray and observe the mold disappear before your eyes. It also works fast and goes deep into the grout to restore the surface’s shine.

Since my wife had cancer, she is wary of using chemical-based cleaners in the kitchen. So we switched to plant-based cleaners made using essential oils.

Puracy Multi-Surface cleaner is one of her favorites. It has even been featured on several TV shows, magazines, and news reports. The best part is that doctors develop it.

Being plant-based, it is safe to use around pets and kids. It is entirely free from bleach, petrochemicals, ammonia, and other harsh ingredients seen in other cleaners.

When it comes to cleaning your home, there are a lot of different products on the market that can help you get the job done. But which ones are the best? Here are my favorite multi-purpose home cleaners:

1. Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day

Mrs.Meyer’s Clean Day is ideal for use on multiple surfaces, including walls, hardwood floors, tiles, countertops, and glass. It has a fresh and invigorating lemon verbena scent that is light and uplifting.

The best part is that Mrs.Meyer’s Clean Day is free from phthalates, parabens, glycol solvents, and artificial cleaners. Instead, it uses essential oils and plant-based cleaners only.

My wife and I especially appreciate that Mrs.Meyers does not test their products on animals, making them cruelty-free.

3. Windex Vinegar Multi-Surface Spray

Window and glass cleaning has always been easy, thanks to Windex products. When Windex started adding vinegar to their regular glass/window cleaner, my wife loved it. We all know how effective vinegar is in cleaning all kinds of surfaces without using anything harsh.

We use Windex Vinegar on bathroom mirrors, windows in all rooms, and our glass countertops on the coffee tables. We even use it on quartz surfaces. It gets the job done quickly and eliminates smudges, fingerprints, etc., within seconds. You can also spray it on areas frequented by ants. Ants hate the vinegar in this, and they stay away from them.

The best part is that it does not leave that ammonia smell that so many of us dislike. And Windex is also striving hard to make our oceans free from plastic. They use only 100% recycled and biodegradable plastic in their product bottles.

Features

  • Recycled plastic made in association with agencies striving to make oceans cleaner

Their popular Swiffer Sweeper is a 2-in-1 tool that sweeps and mops in one simple step. This sweeper has a lightweight handle that makes it easy to push, while the dry cloth picks up messes on hardwood floors and tile.

The wet cloths trap and lock dirt, dust, and hair in its fibers for a deep clean on vinyl, linoleum, or wood flooring. The Swiffer Sweeper cleans better than a broom and dustpan because it grabs big messes without you ever having to touch them!

FAQs – Best Cleaning Brands

What is the best cleaning chemical?

The best cleaning chemical depends on the surface. For bathtubs, toilet bowls, and other bathroom surfaces, you need bleach or strong mildew/mold cleaner. For the kitchen or areas for food prep, you need degreasing plant-based cleaners without harsh chemicals that can still cut through the oil.

What are the most powerful cleaners?

In general, acid-based cleaners are extremely powerful. For bathrooms, bleach-based cleaners can be powerful as well.

What do I need to deep clean a house?

Use proven cleaning brands, such as Mr. Clean and Lysol, to deep clean a house. You can also use vinegar, baking soda, hot water, microfiber rags, and a mop to tackle most cleaning jobs. A vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter, extensions, and accessories can also help make the job easier. A steam cleaner can help eliminate germs from all kinds of surfaces, including most fabrics.

Conclusion – Best Cleaning Brands

The best cleaning brands are the same ones that have been around for decades: Clorox, Lysol, Mr.Clean, etc., have been popular for years and will remain so for a while. In vacuums, brands like Kenmore and Bissel come with HEPA filters that freshen up the air.

These days, many people are moving towards eco-friendly and greener cleaning products with essential oils and other plant-based cleaners. The CDC has provided specific guidelines regarding cleaning and disinfecting, and most of us want to take these seriously.

I hope the above lists help you choose the best cleaning brands to suit your needs.
