Some of my favorite cleaning products

What? Yeah- I'm weird, but today I was cleaning and I realized I have some favorite cleaning products that I really do like a lot. So here they are:
  1. Scrubbing Bubbles action scrubber and the aerosol foam. Both cut through soap scum like no other and make my life battling City of Peoria water a little easier!
  2. Scotch Brite flat top stove cleaner- it's a little pad that fits on a re-usable handle. My stove top is always sparkling clean (after I use it!) and looks like I spent a lot of time on it, but all it takes is a little elbow grease.
  3. Windex- I use it for everything (think My Big Fat Greek Wedding- but a little toned down).
  4. My cleaning caddy- it cleans just about every room in the house and I fit everything I need in it. I read this tip in Real Simple once and decided to try it. I don't have a ton of cleaning stuff anymore (well I still have some, but I don't use it because I just use the stuff in the cleaning caddy) Why have 30 different products?
  5. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser- it really is magic- seriously I have no idea how it works. But I do know one thing- you have to get it wet (poor Ian used it for about a year not knowing he was supposed to get it wet first!)
Yes I realize none of these are "green." The scrubber handle for the scrubbing bubbles thing is green- does that count? Let me know if you have a cleaning product you can't live without... I'm always looking for ways to make my life easier!

PS- I hate bleach with a passion so you can leave that one out!

I love windex too, I use it for everything! But my favorite cleaning product is by far the Scotch Brite disposable toilet cleaner. They are the best! But they are not flushable, as I learned the hard way. My least favorite cleaning product - any stainless steel cleaner!
