a couple of things I couldn't live without are: The magic eraser, cloroxx bleach wipes (I'm allergic to bleach but these are little enough I can use them and get the cleaness of the bleach without having a reaction), Fantastix orange all purpose cleaner... Those are just a few I think off right of the top of my head, couldn't live without the wipes though.

Pledge, lemon scent. I use it all the time. Reminds me of when I was little.

Spray and Wash! We go through a TON of that.

Baby Wipes (store brand). We keep these in a handy spot. They are GREAT for quick little clean ups all around the house. And, on Saturdays (cleaning day), I give three wipes to each of my kids and they wash the molding around all the doors. Well, as far as they can reach anyway. Gets of all the little fingerprints they've made throughout the week.

Bleach/Water in a spray bottle. I use this for everything!

I use mostly vinegar and water for regular cleaning.

Can't use anything but Tide for laundry, I've tried the ones that are rated 2nd best and they just are not as good. I wish they were, they are 1/2 the price.

I like vinegar and water to. Vinegar and baking soda make a great oven cleaner. I have other stuff but don't often use it as I find it makes me feel drowsy.

Shout, is my favorite for laundry. Boy does Alissa get messed up at Pre-K! I use Purex detergent and it works great with the shout.

I really like Mean Green for any type of cleaning it does a great job.

Dusting I use the furniture wipes and love them.

Gain with bleach for laundry..it is the only detergent I have ever used, I know I am allergic to Tide though, my mom tried that one out on me and I broke out.

Scrubbing Bubbles for soap scum..leave it on for 20 minutes it will cut through anything!! I love that!

Dh is a bleach freak...laundry, dishes, cleaning, you name it. I have to go back and re-rinse several times after he does the dishes, too much for the girls! I am going to try to talk him into trying the fairly new dawn or something with bleach or oxy.

I like zep bathroom cleaner for soap scum, I get that at home depot. It really works great, better than anything else I've ever used, it cuts through great and is excellent on shower doors... I use Gain with fabric softener built in.

Chlorox 2, Magic Erasers, Amonia, Borax, Tide, Liquid Gold for furniture, Comet.

I agree about the Scrubbing Bubbles....great for soap scum.

Scrubbing bubbles and clorox wipes for the bathroom.

Shout Gel with the built-in brush and Purex Free detergent and nothing but Bounce softener sheets for laundry.

I use Windex for most of my light cleaning needs (fingerprints on the walls, lightswitch covers, furniture, glass doors, everywhere!) and the new Carpet Fresh powder spray because our carpets get so musty smelling.

Vinegar, Dawn dish soap and Mr Clean in the kitchen. I love baking soda for most cleaning, too. And Mr Clean Magic Erasers for all over the place!

I forgot about laundry stuff.

Only Downy liquid fabric softener for our house. Also Downy dryer sheets.

I change laundry soaps a lot. Haven't found one that I really like yet. We usually buy Purex because it's the cheapest one.
