      That would be a great video since many of them are drafty, have leaks that let in bugs and have aging materials that can erode with the wrong chemical solution. Thanks for mentioning this.

      Yes, I’ll have to look to see if there’s a video for this seeing as it’s been awhile for this request. I just moved into a home built in 1870, which of course is not the oldest here in Massachusetts, but still considered “historic” in the seaside city I’ve moved into. I think the hardwood floors may be the original and those I’m interested in not ruining. I did buy the concentrate for Mrs. Meyer’s, but in the bluebell scent which is very mild, but forgot it the day I was cleaning the floors so I tried to buy the most mildest, low ingredient product at the Dollar Tree and bought Ajax multi-purpose Citrus & Eucalyptus concentrate, I mopped the floors and then did a mop with warm water just to make sure there wasn’t any residue left behind and it did a great job, and it was damp microfiber mopping with both the cleaner and warm water, as a lot of water is not good for the hardwood, as you know of course haha. Or really most floors, as I used my steam mop on a high setting because another place I lived had filthy vinyl fake wood floors, and it unfortunately damaged parts of the floor due to the amount of water. In the future I will be using the cleaner for the counters, cabinets, quick clean ups, etc. But, I also want to try Sal’s Suds as I forgot about that cleaner. Thank you for your videos and sorry for rambling.

    I love love love this video. I must admit that for a long time I did experiment and mix up my own concoctions from time to time. I’m not a professional chemist, but I did enjoy chemistry in my youth and knew enough to not do anything really dumb when I was mixing. I also had a good relationship with the company I bought my products from and I could always double check with them if I had any questions. But I stopped doing that for the most part because I realized that it set a bad example for my cleaners, they had no idea the precautions I took, so I didn’t want them to think that mixing things for the sake of curiosity was safe. Now I might add a little vinegar to something plant based if I need my all purpose to cut through some unexpected thick grime, but that’s about it. I’m glad you included Dr. Bronner’s in your list, I love the stuff

    I think many people don't read instructions, which is why they have disappointing results. Although I do use home made cleaners for my home (check out Clean My Space, for home made safe cleaners), I would never use homemade products if I was cleaning professionally. Equally, if you didn't hear what Angela said, DO NOT MIX CLEANERS. It could kill you. Thanks Angela, for another great video!

    Thank you, Angelia, for sharing these very useful cleaning products that are 100% safe for families across America, especially when it comes to our children and pets to keep them safe and Corona. I am a huge fan of Dr Bronners and Meyers Products. My son was diagnosed with Asthma and Exema at birth. I didnt know what options to take but I knew that over the counter medications that had harmful chemicals wasnt going to help. So I turned to natural food and natural products which saved his life. Thankfully, my son is now 13 and is no longer suffering with asthma, allergies, or exema. I am keeping a clean environment for my family. In addition, I do stress the importance of implementing healthy habits. Now, I have become actively involves as a Health Coach to help others develop healthy habits. Your life and family is worth investing in good healthy lifestyle. Be safe out and much love from my family to yours.

      Thanks Athena for your kind words and for sharing your story. I'm so thrilled to hear that you son responds better to earth friendly products. We teach in our house cleaner training that the deep clean of a home may need stronger products to cut the grime, lime, rust etc. And then maintenance products can most often be used thereafter to maintain the clean. When it comes to cleaning chemicals, less is more. :-)

    My favorite all purpose cleaner is white vinegar! I dilute with water, add a few drops of dawn, and some essential oil. Tea tree, lavender, or citrus work really well. It’s super cheap and easy to make! There’s a ton of recipes online. I ask my clients if there are scents they prefer or don’t like them I can mix my magic and customize my cleaners to please the clients.

    Thank you for taking the time to explain the importance of following the manufacturer's instructions when using chemicals, it's a very common thing that people asume their "mix" is safe and "effective" when it's not.
    I use the Lysol multisurface cleaner just because it's the one always available in the supermarket, the price is not too high either and the scent is ok, but I wouldn't say is the best one I have tried. I mainly use it in to clean the kitchen. I think I have seen the Mrs. Meyers one before so I might give it a go next time. Thank you for your recommendations!

    I think it should also be iterated that mixing chemicals do not only apply to manufacturer-made chemicals. It also applies with ALL chemicals and yes, it also includes vinegars, dishwashing liquids, etc. The thing is none of us are professional chemists or researchers and we don't know how these products will affect surfaces, our pets, children, etc. Just because something is "natural" doesn't necessarily mean it's safe or harmful and that also applies to "non-natural" products. We use scientific methods to determine the efficacy and safety of any products regardless of where those products are made or where they were sourced.

    Ms Meyers is amazing for your daily cleaning. It's wonderful as a cleaner and it smells so nice and refined (for a cleaner). I love the seasonal scents like snowdrop in winter and rose in spring, but the lavender or basil (if it don't want floral or want the least scented version possible) scents are my go-tos year round of I can't get a seasonal scent. It does clean REALLY well and is safe to put on practically everything.
    However, if you truly have a gunky, grimey, really gross built up gunk (like my G's?) then you can't go wrong with 409, that stuff will get it up. It's the only cleaner that helped me get crayon, but not paint, off several walls... Toddlers. Anyways, it's not the best for your daily counter wipe down but it's great for cleaning up the aftermath of a severe depressive episode where the routine cleaning has been absent for weeks with children around, oh yeah.
    I personally don't think Castile soap is my preferred cleaner unless I need something exceptionally gentle, but it still leaves a lot of residue. When I had my kids in hospital, they'd give us ketchup sized packets of pure Castile soap to clean our breast pump parts and baby bottles. You could still feel the slick fat residue even with an ideal bottle brush (if you're lucky enough to get one in hospital... I've only gotten one once and it was a useless silicone bristled one from doctor brown's and I only got it bc my daughter was using one of the bottles during her month in NICU, needless to say with baby #3 I brought in a brush from dollar tree with me since I didn't plan on nursing and didn't want to just soak, shake and rinse stuff, I wanna make sure it's clean, but yeah when I got home I'd just use unscented seventh generation (a lot of the other brands, particularly generic seem really watered down or left fat residue) dish soap. Speaking of which, good ole blue Dawn watered down can make a great all purpose cleaner in a pinch (especially if you'd need to rinse it off anyways like my jogging stroller for instance).

The price point is $20 for a 32 oz. container - and while that is a concentrate, many professional cleaners are buying concentrates by the gallon like OdoBan that are 128 oz for $10.99.

I've washed each 20" x 20" tile separately or in squares of 4's, then rinsing each 4 together...attempting to avoid getting the grout too dirty. But the kitchen has always been my challenge. And I don't want to get down on my hands & knees again. Any suggestions?

This kit comes with a free grout brush that hooks onto any unscrewable painters or broom handle for easy use, or you can use it by hand and just hold it like a scrub brush. They have a RUclips show as well with some pretty impressive results. Check it out and let me know what you think. :-)

      The easiest way is to read the label of the containers. The second easiest way is to read the safety data sheets. And the third easiest way is to choose a pH neutral product. (When reading the safety data sheets look in section #9 for the pH level. Neutral is going to be between 6 to 8.)

      Not on this show. We strongly advise against house cleaners using liquids on rugs. Because for the most part, house cleaners are not carpet cleaners. They don't have the proper training, skills, equipment, hoses, vans, extractors, fans, etc. to clean carpets properly. And if they damage a floor, carpet, or rug they are liable for the damage. In cleaning, we use the term "stay in your own lane" which means we have carpet cleaners we recommend to do the jobs we are not qualified to do. That said, there's got to be somebody here on RUclips that specializes in carpet cleaning - it's just not me. Does that make sense? 🙏

I tried everything I could find recommended to restore the finish, to no avail. It looked horrible. Then I saw Angela’s video on Bar Keeper’s Friend. I use that on my stainless cookware, so I gave it a try, per her recommendation of using VERY little on a wet cloth, then drying right after. It worked!!!
