Cleaning surfaces-wipe/rinse/dry?

Options
When cleaning surfaces with a cleaner do you squirt the cleaner on and wipe with a cloth then leave or do you then rinse the surface with clean water and dry or wipe again with a clean damp cloth? I never know what to do with bathroom and kitchen surfaces, housekeeping is not one of my strongest subjects!!

    That all sounds a bit technical to me :o errrm if its the kitchen worktops I use the dishcloth and the washing up water to wipe over the tops and thats it.

    I don't use any spray cleaner of any sort on worktops, just hot water with fairy liquid.

    Bathroom, I spray flash in the bath and leave while I brush my teeth in the morning, then wipe off, thats it.

    Sorry, no idea either, I don't use any of these completely unnecessary products. However, doesn't it tell you on the bottle?
  • You just spray it on and wipe it off with a damp cloth then leave to dry naturally.

    It depends on the product and the surface - for example if it was something with bleach in it, I (personally) wouldnt use it on a surface that I would cut food on without wiping it down with hot water first to clean off the smell of the bleach (like I say, for example). most of my stuff gets prep'd on chopping boards which then get washed and scrubbed in hot water and dish soap, the surfaces below the chopping boards get wiped with a damp cloth
    Blah
