All-Purpose Cleaners
All-purpose cleaners normally come in either a liquid or powder form and can be diluted with water if needed. All-purpose cleaners work well on countertops, tile, appliances, and linoleum or laminate floors. Be cautious when using all-purpose cleaners on steel appliances as they often leave behind streaks. Instead, try a specialty stainless cleaner. Also, avoid using all-purpose cleaners on hardwood floors. And for tougher areas with mildew, mold, or stains, try a stronger specialty cleaner rather than an all-purpose formula.
DIY or Homemade Cleaners
DIY or homemade cleaners are popular among people looking for affordable, more natural cleaning solutions. They’re typically made with a combination of water, lemon, or vinegar, and their acidic nature makes them effective at breaking down grease, soap scum, and hard water stains. These types of cleaners are generally safe to use on tile, tubs, and showers but can dull the appearance of natural stone like limestone, marble, or granite. Homemade cleaners also shouldn’t be used on knives, wood, or grout since they can eat away at these finishes.
Specialty Cleaners
There are many cleaners that are specifically designed to be applied to certain surfaces for stone or marble cleaning in the Acadiana and greater Baton Rouge areas., stainless steel cleaning, hardwood floor cleaning, and other specific surfaces. The chemical makeup of specialty cleaners is made to target things like hard water, mineral build-up, and dirt in a way that’s safe for certain surfaces.
