Cleaning Products Defined

cleaning product tips, houshold products information, disinfecting tips, cleaning tips Do you really need an all-purpose cleaner and a disinfectant product? What's the best thing to use for scrubbing soap scum from your tub?

Let this guide to cleaning products help you choose the right product for the dirty jobs ahead, and give you the tools to decode what confusing product titles - such as "all-purpose" cleaners and "disinfectants" - really mean, and what they can really do to help you clean your home's surfaces.

1 All-purpose.

These mild- to middle-strength products are effective on moderately soiled washable surfaces.

Appropriate surfaces to use these products on include cabinets, floors, stove tops, painted walls, countertops, and woodwork.

2 Bathtub, tile, and sink.

These products remove soils commonly found on bathroom and kitchen surfaces, such as hard-water deposits, soap scum, rust stains, and mold and mildew growth.

3 Surface buffers.

These contain more abrasive, stronger chemicals than those found in most household products. They're designed for heavy duty jobs, like stubborn stains and dried-on messes.

Many contain chlorine bleach for disinfecting. (Use with care; they can scratch, fade or otherwise damage surfaces.)

4 Disinfectant.

These and chlorine bleach are the only household products that will kill surface bacteria and viruses.

In order for a product to have the word "disinfectant" on its label, it must meet U.S. government specifications for effectiveness in killing microorganisms.

For more information on killing viruses, check out effective strategies for obliterating flu viruses and household germs.
