Whats the best all round cleaner?

B & M Bargains is a good placer to buy , they have many of the Stardrops range including pine disinfectant, Stardrops with ammonia for heavy cleaning and Zoflora.

Good point Andrew although I find some of those bottles barely work until they are empty let alone for re-use, and obviously if you stop buying the other products eventually you will need a replacement sprayer. Good point also about labelling especially if you have kids etc in the house - probably not a good idea to have a stardrops water fight!

In terms of toilets you really need something with bleach in it at least periodically as its the only thing that knocks out norovirus (main cause of D&V bugs) - the stuff that says it kills all bacteria may well do what it says but it won't touch that particular virus as its not bacterial. Research suggests bleach is the only effective cleaner against norovirus. (Yes it stinks but Asda's cheapo lemon scented bleach doesn't smell of bleach as far as I can tell)

Just a thought. Flash do an all purpose cleaner.. Is this the same as stardrops.

The reason we use toilet wipes for toilet seat is you can simply flush them away rather than then having to bin a perfectly good cleaning cloth (dirty obviously!). Another little tip ...when you bleach around the loo bowl leave the toilet brush actually stood up in the bowl...it comes up spotless and saves having to keep replacing it.

The ONLY thing that should be flushed down the loo is toilet paper (and the obvious unmentionables). Anything else like face wipes, toilet wipes, cotton buds and babies nappies will eventually lead to a blockage as they don't break down like loo roll does

I don't use a toilet brush (not keen on a festering brush in the bathroom) instead I don my disposable latex gloves and clean the loo with bleach and kitchen roll or an old cloth - gloves and kitchen roll/cloth then go in the bin.

Stardrops and Starclens are amazing - will be using Stardrops in a minute in a spray bottle to spray dried bird poop on my car then I'm off to the car wash

My cleaning staples are Stardrops, Starclens, bleach, washing up liquid and glass cleaner - really don't need anything else.

Always have bicarb and vinegar too.

I never found any problems with toilet wipes as long as they are flushable

Only sharing the advice of a plumber who told me no wipes at all should be flushed

The flushable ones are just paper/chemicals, yes you have to be careful what you put down toilets though

I use the parazone ones

Stardrops is another good one. Also use is bicarbonate soda, soda crystals, white vinegar, and Borax

I also use barkeepers friend and atonish
