Hello Angela am JFRANK from Africa Ghana please am get asking if you can buy me chemicals in us 🇺🇸 thanks? I want to be the best clean in Ghana 🇬🇭 thanks?
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
We try many different all purpose cleaners and we get the best feedback from fabuloso from out clients. Very cheap and easy to find, smells great and can even clean glass and mirrors better than most glass cleaners
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. :-)
Apparently back in the 70s my Dad tried to mix ammonia and bleach to clean the bathroom with. Mom said he almost passed out from the fumes. Lesson learned!
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.
Ian Scianablo I usually make it as I need it. There’s a lot of different ways to make your own cleaning products. Some people add baking soda… etc. you should internet search and find the ones that work best for you😁
I didn't even know about these products. I use Pine Sol to clean floors and toilets, and Bon Ami spray for glass and taps. Around the kitchen diluted vinegar with baking soda mixture. On hardwood floors Murphy's oil soap. for dishes Dawn or sunlight or Palmolive or whatever is on sale.
I had no idea that Puracy makes a household cleanser! I use their shampoo because it's the only one I've found that I'm not allergic to and also works. I'll definitely have to give them a try! 👍🏻
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!
My favorite cleaning product is lysol apc. It works well on grease and soap scum. For glass i use windex. For surfaces that requires light cleaning i just use dawn and water. For my white tile floors i use bleach andwater. And thats it. 4 products for the entire home.
Great video Angela! Super happy that Mrs. Meyers/Caldrea & Dr. Bronners made your top 10 list. As a home owner, I use these products everyday and love them! :)
Hi Angela. Can you please make a video on how to clean the grout and seal it afterwards. And if gou have made one already can you please share the link.thanks
Thank you thank you!! Your information is so well put together!! It’s no wonder you’re so successful !you’re probably clean as thorough as you are with your products thank you so much!
I just started using sal suds I like it I have ecos dish soap, it sux so I mixed sal suds, salt, baking soda, and orange oil, food grade, and now I love it
I need one to clean my vinyl tile floors in the back of the house high traffic area and starting to stain I don't know witch on to use.. I was thinking about Eco-orange. but not sure
Have you used Sal Suds? It's a biodegradable cleaner amzn.to/3Fr2fUC and 1 drop in a mop bucket will do wonders on your floors. Stay away from any cleaners that will leave a buildup.
I mostly used 1. All purpose cleaner : water and white vinegar 2. Baking soda 3. Dawn detergent 4. Soft scrub 5. Tylex 6. Limeaway 7. Zud 8. Citro solve 9. Twinkle for stainless
What I find challenging is the dilution ratio. Most bottles are 32oz and the dilution ratio is usually for a gallon size. I wish companies would recognize this and adjust the directions.
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.
Yes, many of our clients provide the products to be used in their home since they are distributors. Are you just a consumer or are you also a distributor?
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).
Great information! Thank you! The EWG is an organization I wouldn’t trust, found that out from couple different sources, one was a podcast hosted by 2 chemist. Worth looking into.
Thank you for sharing your in-depth knowledge of cleaning, tips and products. In Canada, I discovered Pink Solution which was sold by Costco as part of their scheduled marketing, I have been using Pink Solution for a few years, not only for household cleaning but for laundry as well. And I do not use fabric softener liquid or sheets. No static at all.
I stopped using fabric softener in any form because the scent began to bother me. At first I put vinegar in the softener dispenser, then I stopped. It don’t miss it at all.
Are you talking about the Speed Cleaning products? They are hard to find on the open market here is the paid link www.thecleanteam.com/Speed-Cleaning%E2%84%A2-Red-Juice-Concentrate-32-oz-Makes-20-16-oz-bottles_p_54.html - I've heard they are good, but the last I checked the safety data sheets were 20 years out of date. 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. Have you used them, and are you a fan?
I like Krud Kutter, Greased Lighting, Mrs. Meyers (which is good), Mrs Meyer's (Room freshener spray (be careful because you can spray too much & gage yourself LOL)). In the past I've used what my mother used (Windex, Tilex, etc.) some not so happy. Others were ok. Since watching your show, I've gotten so many good ideas & I hope to be able to keep everything clean.
Enjoyed this video, the only product that I’ve used from your list is the Mrs. Meyers brand, the multi purpose cleaner and also the hand soap and dish washing liquid. The scents are awesome!
It depends on the wood and the coating on the wood. For most wood and coated wood surfaces you can use a damp microfiber cloth. Less chemical is better when it comes to wood.
From watching make up and skincare video tutorials to watching all your videos and I’m hooked! So informative and detailed! Thank you it helps me a lot!
@AngelaBrownCleaning New subscriber here. As I speed thru your informative videos, I wonder what's the best & easiest cleaner for grout? Our porcelain floor tile & beige grout is 33 yrs old. 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?
Do you know about Grout-eez? amzn.to/3kOKvMx It's an amazing product designed just for grout that is safe for porcelain and ceramic tile. 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.)
I love that you reviewed all these! I am wondering about the cleaners, such as Mrs. Meyers....love the product, but what about germ killing?? I am just curious? With covid still rampant, would something so natural kill the germs we need it too?? Like I said, I am just asking. I would much rather use something not so strong, but trying to find a balance. Thanks!
Hi Tina, do you know about Force of Nature? ruclips.net/video/16zH6YKzm48/видео.html There are similar programs that electrolyze water/vinegar/salt mixtures to create a safer formula than some of the commercial brands.
Depending on the version you are using, you can scan the back of the label and pull up the Smart Label which will take you to their website where you will find the Safety Data Sheet. The pH should be in section #9 of the SDS.
I'm a professional cleaner and I use a diluted cleaning vinegar on all my hard surfaces, plus I use it on some hardwood floors too. I use a combination of Dawn and vinegar also on soap scum, melts right off. In addition, I also use Sh -clean ( has a neutral pH) on my wood floors and slate floors. Which
Vinegar diluted with Dawn is awesome for bathtubs and gel coats. By itself, Vinegar has a pH of 2.5 which quite acidic as a chemical. Which dilution chart are you using to make the Vinegar safe for all hard surfaces?
I also use the same set up for my cleaning service since its effective and cheap. Im curious to try Mrs Meyers but its way too expensive for such a small bottle. Probably only use for customers who want the chemotherapeutic experience.
I also use Red Juice from the Clean Team, which makes Sh-clean. My housekeeper loves Sh-Clean. I like the Red Juice because it is effective and has no toxic fumes or odors, and safe to use around food.
Ur brilliant, great videos I soooo agree Many people have concoctions That make u say hmmmmm. Also suggesting oven Cleaner for items other than the oven?? Seriously May be good but omg So caustic
These all sound great. Could you recommend the one or two products that I should have in my house? I’m not a house cleaner. Just your average house owner. Thanks! Love your channel!!
So cool that Dr. Bronner's and Mrs. Meyer's made the list! I'll also add that Young Living has an all purpose cleaning solution that you mix with water and smells SOOO good. All 3 of these brands are amazing and we use them in our home all the time. I'm going to start cleaning my brother's house tomorrow so I've been binge-watching your videos for an hour. 😂 Thank you! 🖤
as an asthmatic, most cleaners are aggravating so diy cleaners tend to be recommended. so will these be safe? bleach, ammonia, pinesol, strong scents/perfumes are a no no
Do you have specific allergic triggers? Some all natural cleaners can also have a strong fragrance even if they are natural. I suggest you read the ingredients before purchasing any products.
I have chemical sensitivities. Mostly I use original blue dawn in water, as an all purpose and sal suds for floors. I use 1/2 and half water and isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle for touch points. Is that enough for covid cleaning?
The original blue dawn in water sound like a pH neutral all purpose cleaner combo as does the Sal Suds. As for the alcohol, what strength and what surfaces are you trying to clean? And when you say for Covid cleaning, how do you mean?
@@AskAngelaBrown I have a new client starting next month who uses an infuser filled with thieves and cleans with thieves. I got sick for four days just doing her walk through. I asked what it was in particular that makes her choose thieves. Er reply is that it kills 99.9% germs. I want to be able to tell her my sal suds works just as well. I have no idea, I know it’s a good cleaner that doesn’t make me sick! I have always done touch points with my all purpose sal suds, but wondered if the alcohol and water on door knobs, etc would make her feel better about how clean they are getting. It is 99% isopropyl alcohol. I feel that if no one is sick with covid or flu, this is a good maintenance clean. I would not be going there if someone had covid, so I feel My job is to clean and sanitize so that it’s ready for disinfecting should they choose.
So, which one of these gives you the most bang for your buck? I noticed that many of them do not say that they sanitize or kill germs. For indoor use, I would want something that would sanitized, as well as clean.
Are the surfaces sealed? Let's suppose you have a granite counter that is sealed? Most of what you need is a damp microfiber cloth. If you need something stronger, they do sell marble and stone cleaners that are safe to use. Here's my favorite one amzn.to/3ob1ZCS.
I am a residential cleaner I've noticed that my windex glass cleaner is leaving a streak when i do mirrors or windows i use paper towel. Why is it leaving this streak.
Has the formula been tampered with? Have you added anything to the bottle to "stretch" the solution (as in filling it as you were running out?) Is there something on the glass or mirrors that would cause streaking (i.e. liquid makeup foundation or toothpaste?) Are you refilling existing bottles with Windex from another bottle? Were your refill bottles clean before filling? Why? It could a be any number of things. I really don't know, but those are the places I would start looking for an answer.
@@AskAngelaBrown sometimes there is stuff left from the owners like when they have shaved, brushing teeth, or mouthwash, for the windows could be anything from people to dead insects etc. Do you think i should go over the mirrors/windows with an all purpose cleaner or disinfectant.
As a person that tries to live a more sustainable life, I make my own cleaner by using steeped citrus peels, vinegar and water. I use it on a lot of things, but not everything I also make my own shower tile spray.
I use all kinds of Mrs Meyers products. Their multipurpose spray is amazing, but I also have to shout out their dishwasher tablets! Worth the price! I also love Method products. L.A. totally awesome multi purpose spray from Dollar Tree is definitely the best budget product out there though.
Everyone has their own preferences for the products they use. If you love it, and you are using it properly, that's what counts. Thanks for sharing. :-)
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 don't know if rhe Boardwalk products that government agencies get are different then the ones everyone can get but When they bought them for my office over COVID they did not do a good job cleaning.... Outside of our whiteboard.
Thanks for mentioning EWG. I was about to ask what you recommend that is natural or as natural as we can get yet still be effective. I’ll try your recommendations and let you know. I found your channel this week and subscribed. Booya! What a treasure trove of information. I have my list of your recommendations, thsnks
Added a couple of these (the ones sold as ready-to-use) to my Amazon wish list, and just subscribed to your channel, too. Want to make sure I'm not telling my adult kids any nonsense when I give them tips on how to clean (their rooms/apartments/homes/etc.).
Yes, it's possible. I live in the USA so these are the products that are (were) readily available to me at the time of this recording. What country are you in?
@@AskAngelaBrown Thank you for responding. I live in the US, but my sister from Auckland New Zealand is curious where the products are made. Thanks again ❣️
I have always followed my gut instinct while cleaning, and I do not mix any chemicals or make my own concoctions. If I do need to use a few different cleaning solutions on deep cleaning jobs, such as a bathtub, I always make sure to rinse out the prior chemical first before introducing another one into a bathtub or surface. Thank You for the amazing tips!
If you have a hand held steamer - that. If not a general all-purpose pH neutral cleaner works well. Make sure that you don't get any on any food still in the fridge.
I found this information to be VERY interesting AND helpful!!! Thanks so much for sharing the science behind it ~ good to know! Your channel is terrific, Angela!!!👍👍👍
I could search, but I will just ask...what works to reduce lime type build up in toilets? I brush my toilet probably three times a week, but I have mineral build up still. I also use a pumice to get it off, but that is real work. Are there any products that go in the tank that help? I have pets, but they do not drink from the toilets ( thank goodness).
I have only heard of the Mrs. Myers products, and I like the ones I have tried. Can you give me an opinion on 409? I've used it for years and love it, but am interested in your thoughts. I love this channl!
I have not done a product review on 409. Maybe I will. Thanks for suggesting it. The fact that you love it suggests it works well on the surfaces you use it on. That's a good sign. 👏
I noticed on your "Most Requested List of Cleaning Stuff I Use" that none of the products listed in this video of "Top 10 Cleaning Mulri-Purpose Cleaners" are mentioned. Instead, you use Krud Kutter. Do you use any of the Top 10 and can you say which one?
Great observation. I may have to go back and re-watch this video and update the list of available products. During the pandemic, some of our favorite products have become unavailable and we've had to switch things up a bit. 👍
Super Clean til I die. Full strength it will melt anything (pH over 14) and make your skin feel tingly. Drop to a 40:1 ratio it's safe on a leather couch. 20 something bucks for 2.5 gallons from wallymart.
Bar none it's Zep Commercial Stainless Steel & Polish. It looks like this amzn.to/31nJX5A but you can get it cheaper at Home Depot. I like it because it doesn't smear or leave your appliances greasy.
My housecleaner used Weiman spray on my new stainless dishwasher and absolutely ruined it. You could see streaks, and swirl marks all over where she tried to rub it out. 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!!! Thank you so much, Angela!!! I had been looking at replacing my old white gas stove (1940’s) with a new stainless stove, but after the dishwasher adventure I’d decided against it. Now that’s back on my list. 😊 Love your channel! I learn so much.
Hi Angela. Got a problem. After spraying for a few weeks I got at least a million decaying millipedes in my basement. No windows down there and I have stone foundation. House is over 120 years old. What's the best way to clean up dissenfect and actually even make the place smell nice? What can I scrub on that old concrete floors down there? What product or products can you recommend? Thanks a Million!!! LOL!!!!

Can you do a video on cleaning historic homes. Lots of stone, wood, tight corners.

Yes please do a video on historical homes

Yes, I’ll have to look to see if there’s a video for this seeing as it’s been awhile for this request.

You are so welcome! Hope you like it and thanks for watching. 😊
Thank you for your research and time in making this video. I really appreciate it. Terrific channel 🌺
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.
What's the break down in portions? If you make a lot does it store well?
Ian Scianablo I usually make it as I need it. There’s a lot of different ways to make your own cleaning products. Some people add baking soda… etc. you should internet search and find the ones that work best for you😁
Those are my favorite too !
@@ianscianablo8507 It will work well for a bout 2 months for each time you mix.
I would do this mixture but I have a lot of marble and marble is the one thing that seems be contraindicated to use vinegar on
I didn't even know about these products. I use Pine Sol to clean floors and toilets, and Bon Ami spray for glass and taps. Around the kitchen diluted vinegar with baking soda mixture. On hardwood floors Murphy's oil soap. for dishes Dawn or sunlight or Palmolive or whatever is on sale.
lol. Yeah. Very helpful natural products make a difference.
Dawn is made by Procter and Gamble is environmentally irresponsible company
👍
They still sell Bon Ami glass cleaner? I haven't seen that for years.My Mom said it was the best glass cleaner, when she cleaned houses.
What are your thoughts on Method brand cleaners? Have you have any experience with these cleaners and how did the rate to you?
I'm a housecleaner and love method grapefruit scent window cleaner and degreaser
The Method wood floor cleaner smells lovely (almonds) but I find it doesn't dry nearly as fast or clear as Bona
Nicole, Here is a video on top ten furniture polishes where I talk about Method Daily Wood Cleaner: ruclips.net/video/JMxRTzsAn-c/видео.html 😊
I had no idea that Puracy makes a household cleanser! I use their shampoo because it's the only one I've found that I'm not allergic to and also works. I'll definitely have to give them a try! 👍🏻
They're an awesome choice! Let me know if you like the product.
I dilute sals suds and add tea tree essential oil for disinfectant properties. I love it!
Great tip! Thank you!👍
@@AskAngelaBrown thank YOU for all your great videos and so much wisdom that has helped in my cleaning business!
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!
Simple Green is also amazing. It has the Safer Choice label, and it's safe for pets and children.
Good to know, thanks for sharing!
I love simple green. Its been my go to ever since my high school job of cleaning a restraunt kitchen.
Hi Angela. Can you do a video for your top 10 floor cleaners?
My favorite cleaning product is lysol apc. It works well on grease and soap scum. For glass i use windex. For surfaces that requires light cleaning i just use dawn and water. For my white tile floors i use bleach andwater. And thats it. 4 products for the entire home.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
I use Mrs Meyers. Costs a bloody fortune in the U.K., But the basil scent is divine.
Glad you like it! But boo on the price. Thanks for sharing.
Basil is my favorite also
Great video Angela! Super happy that Mrs. Meyers/Caldrea & Dr. Bronners made your top 10 list. As a home owner, I use these products everyday and love them! :)
April, Yay! I’m so glad you like these products too. 😊
Great video! Thanks for the teaching!
Glad to be helpful!
Hi Angela. Can you please make a video on how to clean the grout and seal it afterwards. And if gou have made one already can you please share the link.thanks
Check out this video on cleaning a shower: ruclips.net/video/qrjL17pU3bQ/видео.html
Let me know what you think! 👍
Thank you thank you!! Your information is so well put together!! It’s no wonder you’re so successful !you’re probably clean as thorough as you are with your products thank you so much!
I just started using sal suds
I like it
I have ecos dish soap, it sux so I mixed sal suds, salt, baking soda, and orange oil, food grade, and now I love it
Yes, Sal Suds is a great product!
I need one to clean my vinyl tile floors in the back of the house high traffic area and starting to stain I don't know witch on to use..
I was thinking about Eco-orange. but not sure
Have you used Sal Suds? It's a biodegradable cleaner amzn.to/3Fr2fUC and 1 drop in a mop bucket will do wonders on your floors. Stay away from any cleaners that will leave a buildup.
Thanks for your information. I will be trying some of this in my house .
Keep me posted on how they work out for you. 👍
I'm always using green all purpose with antiseptic liquid in my cleaning everyday routine....is it right!?
It depends on what you’re using it on and what surfaces the cleaner is safe for.
@@AskAngelaBrown thanks for answer 🙂🙏
I mostly used
1. All purpose cleaner : water and white vinegar
2. Baking soda
3. Dawn detergent
4. Soft scrub
5. Tylex
6. Limeaway
7. Zud
8. Citro solve
9. Twinkle for stainless
Thanks for sharing! Looks like you've got it covered. :-)
@@AskAngelaBrown thank for the reply. Quick question what do you think about white vinegar as a cleaner? Isn't the most safest green cleaner? Thanks
I love Dr Bronners for everything. What do you think of parsley plus?
I haven’t reviewed this product but it looks like it has many good reviews.
Excellent video. Thank you so very much for mentioning which products are cruelty free!
What I find challenging is the dilution ratio. Most bottles are 32oz and the dilution ratio is usually for a gallon size. I wish companies would recognize this and adjust the directions.
I completely understand your frustration! It can be tricky to get the right proportions.
Great information! Thank you!
You bet!👍
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.
YES! What you said. Thank you for the great reminder. You may dilute concentrates with water but please no mixing other chemicals.
Have you used any of the Melaleuca products? they are all natural and work well.
Yes, many of our clients provide the products to be used in their home since they are distributors. Are you just a consumer or are you also a distributor?
Consumer
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).
Thanks so much for sharing the cleaning tips. 😊
Awesome tips!
Very informative, thanks so much!!
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to drop me a line. :-)
Wow Thank you so much Angela for breaking them all down.
Used Mrs Meyers and my mouth dropped, stuck to it ever since.. stopped using whatever multipurpose cleaner was just on sale ❤
Oh wow, that's great! Thanks for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it!
Great information! Thank you! The EWG is an organization I wouldn’t trust, found that out from couple different sources, one was a podcast hosted by 2 chemist. Worth looking into.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and for sharing this information!!
Thank you for sharing your in-depth knowledge of cleaning, tips and products. In Canada, I discovered Pink Solution which was sold by Costco as part of their scheduled marketing, I have been using Pink Solution for a few years, not only for household cleaning but for laundry as well. And I do not use fabric softener liquid or sheets. No static at all.
PINK is the real deal. You're right, it's fantastic stuff. I LOVE it!
I stopped using fabric softener in any form because the scent began to bother me. At first I put vinegar in the softener dispenser, then I stopped. It don’t miss it at all.
My multi purpose cleaner is pine gel and pine cleaner and water in n spray bottel...its safe for wood and other surfaces and it disinfects everything
@@AskAngelaBrown it smells define and the smell stays more in the air than furniture polish
What do you think about blue juice & red juice cleaner?
Are you talking about the Speed Cleaning products? They are hard to find on the open market here is the paid link www.thecleanteam.com/Speed-Cleaning%E2%84%A2-Red-Juice-Concentrate-32-oz-Makes-20-16-oz-bottles_p_54.html - I've heard they are good, but the last I checked the safety data sheets were 20 years out of date. 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.
Have you used them, and are you a fan?
I like Krud Kutter, Greased Lighting, Mrs. Meyers (which is good), Mrs Meyer's (Room freshener spray (be careful because you can spray too much & gage yourself LOL)). In the past I've used what my mother used (Windex, Tilex, etc.) some not so happy. Others were ok. Since watching your show, I've gotten so many good ideas & I hope to be able to keep everything clean.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the product. And thanks for watching. 🙂
I like Krud Kutter as well. Their laundry pretreatment is one of the best I have found for our laundry.
Professor Amos multipurpose cleaner I love the different smells especially cucumber
Thanks so much for sharing! 😊
Enjoyed this video, the only product that I’ve used from your list is the Mrs. Meyers brand, the multi purpose cleaner and also the hand soap and dish washing liquid. The scents are awesome!
That's wonderful! Thanks for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗
PURACY ... is this what you use to "moisturize" and clean wood furniture?
It depends on the wood and the coating on the wood. For most wood and coated wood surfaces you can use a damp microfiber cloth. Less chemical is better when it comes to wood.
Hi Angela can you do a video on why cleaning products call for cold water instead of hot or warm water.
Great topic. Yes, the short answer is that some cleaners need hot water to "activate" the cleaning power. (Think OxiClean)
What do you think of LA BAMBA Lavender Multi-Purpose Cleaner??? any thoughts
Not really familiar with that. Where is it sold? And, what is it for?
From watching make up and skincare video tutorials to watching all your videos and I’m hooked! So informative and detailed! Thank you it helps me a lot!
Yay! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! 😊👍
I know your vanity is beautiful 😂😂😂
Can you do a video on cleaning and polishing marble floors. Thanks 😊
Great suggestion! I have a list of show topics and I’ll add that to it : )
@AngelaBrownCleaning New subscriber here. As I speed thru your informative videos, I wonder what's the best & easiest cleaner for grout? Our porcelain floor tile & beige grout is 33 yrs old. 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?
Do you know about Grout-eez? amzn.to/3kOKvMx It's an amazing product designed just for grout that is safe for porcelain and ceramic tile. 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. :-)
How do I find out if any of these solutions are safe for acrylic bath surrounds?
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.)
@@AskAngelaBrown thank you so much! I’m excited to look into these cleaners and start using them.
I love that you reviewed all these! I am wondering about the cleaners, such as Mrs. Meyers....love the product, but what about germ killing?? I am just curious? With covid still rampant, would something so natural kill the germs we need it too?? Like I said, I am just asking. I would much rather use something not so strong, but trying to find a balance. Thanks!
Hi Tina, do you know about Force of Nature? ruclips.net/video/16zH6YKzm48/видео.html There are similar programs that electrolyze water/vinegar/salt mixtures to create a safer formula than some of the commercial brands.
I will check it out. Thanks!
What's the ph of Mrs Meyers multi purpose cleaner? It was missing...
Depending on the version you are using, you can scan the back of the label and pull up the Smart Label which will take you to their website where you will find the Safety Data Sheet. The pH should be in section #9 of the SDS.
I'm a professional cleaner and I use a diluted cleaning vinegar on all my hard surfaces, plus I use it on some hardwood floors too. I use a combination of Dawn and vinegar also on soap scum, melts right off. In addition, I also use Sh -clean ( has a neutral pH) on my wood floors and slate floors. Which
Vinegar diluted with Dawn is awesome for bathtubs and gel coats. By itself, Vinegar has a pH of 2.5 which quite acidic as a chemical. Which dilution chart are you using to make the Vinegar safe for all hard surfaces?
I also use the same set up for my cleaning service since its effective and cheap. Im curious to try Mrs Meyers but its way too expensive for such a small bottle. Probably only use for customers who want the chemotherapeutic experience.
I also use Red Juice from the Clean Team, which makes Sh-clean. My housekeeper loves Sh-Clean. I like the Red Juice because it is effective and has no toxic fumes or odors, and safe to use around food.
OMG ANGELA AGAIN. SUPER CLEAN, the best cleaner in the galaxy where have you been ?
😊 thank you!!! So glad you found me!
Ur brilliant, great videos
I soooo agree
Many people have concoctions
That make u say hmmmmm.
Also suggesting oven Cleaner for items other than the oven?? Seriously
May be good but omg
So caustic
Oven cleaner should be used only on ovens and following the product directions. Thanks for watching the show.
What’s your opinion about using “dawn power spray” on toilets ,sinks and showers ?
I generally like all Dawn products - just make sure it works for the surfaces you're planning to clean
Hi! Great info! Which all purpose cleaner is your choice for quartz countertops? Thanks!
Here is a video review of a countertop cleaner that received the Savvy Cleaner seal of approval: ruclips.net/video/slCMXx4RBHc/видео.html
These all sound great. Could you recommend the one or two products that I should have in my house? I’m not a house cleaner. Just your average house owner. Thanks! Love your channel!!
Look into using Odoban.
Thanks so much for watching the show. Here are some products I recommend: www.amazon.com/shop/angelabrown/list/3PM7ZAZDKUCSI
So cool that Dr. Bronner's and Mrs. Meyer's made the list! I'll also add that Young Living has an all purpose cleaning solution that you mix with water and smells SOOO good. All 3 of these brands are amazing and we use them in our home all the time.

I love my Simple Green
Thanks for taking the time to comment and for watching the video!
as an asthmatic, most cleaners are aggravating so diy cleaners tend to be recommended. so will these be safe? bleach, ammonia, pinesol, strong scents/perfumes are a no no
Do you have specific allergic triggers? Some all natural cleaners can also have a strong fragrance even if they are natural. I suggest you read the ingredients before purchasing any products.
I have chemical sensitivities. Mostly I use original blue dawn in water, as an all purpose and sal suds for floors. I use 1/2 and half water and isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle for touch points. Is that enough for covid cleaning?
The original blue dawn in water sound like a pH neutral all purpose cleaner combo as does the Sal Suds. As for the alcohol, what strength and what surfaces are you trying to clean? And when you say for Covid cleaning, how do you mean?
@@AskAngelaBrown I have a new client starting next month who uses an infuser filled with thieves and cleans with thieves. I got sick for four days just doing her walk through. I asked what it was in particular that makes her choose thieves. Er reply is that it kills 99.9% germs. I want to be able to tell her my sal suds works just as well. I have no idea, I know it’s a good cleaner that doesn’t make me sick! I have always done touch points with my all purpose sal suds, but wondered if the alcohol and water on door knobs, etc would make her feel better about how clean they are getting. It is 99% isopropyl alcohol. I feel that if no one is sick with covid or flu, this is a good maintenance clean. I would not be going there if someone had covid, so I feel My job is to clean and sanitize so that it’s ready for disinfecting should they choose.
So, which one of these gives you the most bang for your buck?
I noticed that many of them do not say that they sanitize or kill germs. For indoor use, I would want something that would sanitized, as well as clean.
The biggest bang for your buck will depend on what surface you are cleaning. Not all chemicals can be used on all surfaces.
What about cleaners for porous surfaces like marble and stone?
Are the surfaces sealed? Let's suppose you have a granite counter that is sealed? Most of what you need is a damp microfiber cloth. If you need something stronger, they do sell marble and stone cleaners that are safe to use. Here's my favorite one amzn.to/3ob1ZCS.
I am a residential cleaner I've noticed that my windex glass cleaner is leaving a streak when i do mirrors or windows i use paper towel. Why is it leaving this streak.
Has the formula been tampered with? Have you added anything to the bottle to "stretch" the solution (as in filling it as you were running out?) Is there something on the glass or mirrors that would cause streaking (i.e. liquid makeup foundation or toothpaste?) Are you refilling existing bottles with Windex from another bottle? Were your refill bottles clean before filling? Why? It could a be any number of things. I really don't know, but those are the places I would start looking for an answer.
@@AskAngelaBrown sometimes there is stuff left from the owners like when they have shaved, brushing teeth, or mouthwash, for the windows could be anything from people to dead insects etc. Do you think i should go over the mirrors/windows with an all purpose cleaner or disinfectant.
Which are bird safe? And also price differences?
Is your bird loose or in a cage?
@@AskAngelaBrown Cage, but they’re allowed to be out.

Great...but not sure your "more" is placed in comparison to 'us'? ...
I use all kinds of Mrs Meyers products. Their multipurpose spray is amazing, but I also have to shout out their dishwasher tablets! Worth the price!
I also love Method products. L.A. totally awesome multi purpose spray from Dollar Tree is definitely the best budget product out there though.
Thanks for sharing. There are some amazing products out there and I'm so thrilled to hear which ones you prefer. :-)
Do you still recommend those tablets. Never used a dishwasher but my new home will have one and have no idea what's best
Mrs Meyerspriducts all have so much fragrance I can't use any of them as they make me nauseated.
Been using Simple Green lately. Anything you have found bad about it? Always have Mrs Meyers too

I have found one product at Dollar General its Amazing
What one product are you using?
Could you review rug cleaning liquids for my machine
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? 🙏
thank you very much....
You are most welcome.

I have always followed my gut instinct while cleaning, and I do not mix any chemicals or make my own concoctions.

Super Clean til I die. Full strength it will melt anything (pH over 14) and make your skin feel tingly. Drop to a 40:1 ratio it's safe on a leather couch. 20 something bucks for 2.5 gallons from wallymart.

Love your videos! What is your favorite cleaner for stainless steel appliances?
Bar none it's Zep Commercial Stainless Steel & Polish. It looks like this amzn.to/31nJX5A but you can get it cheaper at Home Depot. I like it because it doesn't smear or leave your appliances greasy.
My housecleaner used Weiman spray on my new stainless dishwasher and absolutely ruined it. You could see streaks, and swirl marks all over where she tried to rub it out. 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!!!
Thank you so much, Angela!!! I had been looking at replacing my old white gas stove (1940’s) with a new stainless stove, but after the dishwasher adventure I’d decided against it. Now that’s back on my list. 😊
