KIS - Organization - Cleaning Supplies

Another area where one can over accumulate stuff is cleaning supplies.  I've done it on many an occasion.  Over the years I've manage to streamline the items I need to keep my home neat and tidy without overdoing it.

This is what I keep:

Sink cleanser

Furniture polish

Fabulosa all-purpose cleaner

White distilled vinegar

Bleach

Spot Shot carpet stain remover

Sprayway window cleaner

Mean Green cleaner & degreaser

Magic Erasers

That is pretty much it.  I use the Fabulosa diluted in a spray bottle for everyday cleaning.  I pour a little into a bucket of warm water for big cleaning jobs.  It also makes a nice carpet cleaner and deodorizer.  I buy it at the dollar store and Walmart has it too in larger bottles.  I find a small bottle lasts a very long time.

Vinegar makes a great rinse aid when shampooing carpets.  I also dilute it in a bucket of water to wash windows.  I prefer Sprayway window cleaner for mirrors and inside my car windshield because it cleans extremely well and leaves no streaking.  I also use in on my windows.

Sink cleanser for sinks, tubs and toilets.  Bleach for stain removal.  Spot Shot is one of the best stain removers and I use it on carpet, upholstery and clothing with hard to remove stains.  Mean Green is a fantastic degreaser and I use it mostly for keeping my stove and the surrounding area clean and grease free.

I use an assortment of rags instead of expensive paper towels.  I personally think rags do a much better job than paper towels anyway.  Magic Erasers are great for removing dirt from surfaces, especially the handles on my refrigerator.

Because I don't have a lot of supplies I keep them all organized neatly under my kitchen sink in an old tote I've had forever.  My bucket serves double duty as my kitchen trash can.

For convenience I keep an extra can of sink cleanser and a scrub sponge under the bathroom sink in the main bathroom.

I don't use a broom inside preferring the vacuum cleaner instead.  It resides in the hall closet in a space reserved specifically.  I keep my rags together in a red enamel bowl on display in my laundry room.  Decorative and functional.

What is your favorite household cleaner?
