My family experience

Many people think it is good to spend energy and time doing housework. That's what I thought. It was not until I visited Japanese drugstores many times that I discovered that the world of detergents was so powerful. For each different stain, you can easily find the corresponding detergent. Using these products to clean can be said to be twice the result with half the effort, and the effect is simply against the sky! Even the burnt bottom of the pot may become as good as new.

At first, every time I went to Japan, I kept a lot of cleaning agents in pharmacies, from washing dishes and washing clothes to washing toilets, as well as cleaning spray for cleaning windows. But after using it for a period of time, I found that although many cleaners have amazing effects, they are corrosive and unfriendly to skin or products that need cleaning. So, I began to choose some natural cleaners that are environmentally friendly, organic, gentle and not irritating to the skin. Why emphasize nature? Of course, it is to reduce the chemical components left at home or on the surface of clothes.

Today, I still recommend the detergent I need according to the different space in my home. The following products are generally available in Taobao, Amazon or supermarkets. Finally, there are several "remedies" that I have tried myself, hoping to help you choose the right detergent.

The kitchen is the most prone to oil pollution at home, and it is also the most difficult place to clean. Let's talk about degreasing products first!

Murchison-Hume | Australia

Counter safety universal cleaner multifunctional countertop cleaner

I once saw someone on Zhihu asking how to evaluate the brand Murchison-Hume. Is it really better than Mr Whitman? My answer is, of course! At least it smells much better than Mr. wham

Murchison-Hume is an Australian brand and is quite popular in Japan. Many housewives buy them and often see them in Japanese magazines. Max Kater, the founder, is a mother. Because her son is allergic to most cleaning products on the market, she developed and founded this brand with her husband Peter. Peter was originally engaged in environmental protection-related work, and he insisted on whether the raw materials of detergent are natural and organic, whether they can be decomposed quickly and not pollute the environment. Max is a fashion editor and is also very good at the packaging and fragrance of products, so this brand has been very popular since its launch. Besides, Max was originally designed for my son. The ingredients are 99% pure natural, and the fragrance is cosmetic, avoiding allergies. Families with children or pets can use it with confidence.

Murchison-Hume has many products, from furniture surfaces and floors to bathrooms, kitchens, tableware, clothes and even decontamination suits customized for travel. How to choose? The simplest thing is to buy this classic six-box set, which contains natural floor cleaner, universal countertop cleaner, glass mirror cleaner, boys' bathroom cleaner, daily wood surface and furniture cleaner, stainless steel cleaner, one ***6 cans, 500ml per can, one set is more than enough for one year, and the price in Australia is about 500 RMB.

Or buy a can of cleaner that you need most, such as universal countertop cleaner? , can be used for kitchen countertops or wall tiles cleaning, strong decontamination ability, the whole kitchen is fragrant. Of course, you can also use it to clean lamps, walls, tables, chairs and electrical appliances. In addition to dust removal and sterilization. The original price in Australia is about RMB in 60 yuan, and I bought it in Japan 100, which is a little cheaper than Taobao. They are also sold in Lane Crawford.

Seventh Generation | USA

Universal natural cleaner powerful decontamination multifunctional cleaning liquid

The seventh generation is not a niche high-end design brand. Supermarkets in the United States can be seen everywhere, and the quantity is generally relatively large. A can is close to 1000ml, which can be used for a long time and the price is quite close to the people. At first glance, you thought it was similar to the positioning of domestic products such as Libai and Wei Meng. In fact, people are just plain in packaging, but they are all natural and organic.

It is one of the largest household environmental protection brands in the United States, so it is called "the seventh generation" because the founder thinks that everything needs to consider its influence on the next seven generations, so all products attach importance to environmental protection and do not contain bleaching ingredients, which is quite safe.

I have used many of their products, from detergent, laundry detergent to glass cleaner, with high cost performance. Highly recommended! The brand has its own Tmall store. I recommend you to buy a powerful multifunctional cleaning liquid, 99 yuan/bottle. 6 18 will soon become a 69 yuan, and I added a shopping cart myself. Friends who have a dishwasher at home can try their special dish powder, a box of 69 yuan.

Shocked | Britain

Oven & cooker cleaner multipurpose decontamination cleaning paste

This is also a powerful representative of the decontamination industry-shocking multi-purpose decontamination cleaning cream. As I said before, it depends on whether the burned bottom of the pot can become brand new! Ceramic metal can be used, with a thin layer of scouring pad, no need to rub it lightly. After wiping, all kitchen accessories, including stoves and range hoods, look like new ones and can effectively sterilize.

Shock was created by allan moss. At the earliest, he was a salesman of cleaning products himself. Because he was dissatisfied with the detergent he promoted, he decided to develop a safer and more environmentally friendly cleaning product. Multi-purpose strong decontamination cream is the first product of this brand. He experimented with a second-hand mixing pot in a garage and finally developed it successfully. There are many amazing videos about this product on the Internet.

In addition, you can also buy a multifunctional sterilization and decontamination powder to eliminate the odor of kitchen sewer pipes. It can directly target the source of odor, destroy hydrogen sulfide, effectively remove coloring and stubborn stains brought by tea and coffee, and remove dirt and scale at the bottom of thermos. They have their own Tmall flagship store, a can of decontamination cream 65 yuan (carnival price in 46 yuan), a set of decontamination cream and decontamination powder as long as 96 yuan (carnival price in 89 yuan). One set can be used for one year, which is very affordable.

Enterprise |? Australia

Multi-purpose cleaner universal cleaning paste

Similar to Astonish's decontamination cream and GUMPTION's universal cleansing cream, I tried it strongly in Amway. All faucets, tiles, kitchen sinks, range hoods, etc. Can be used. Use sponge or scouring pad, the decontamination ability is very strong, and the oil stains and water stains are all gone. Some people use it to clean white sneakers, and the effect is amazing. Taobao can be bought at a price around 35 yuan.

Frosch | German

Baking soda universal cleaner strong degreasing cleaner

If you can't stand the so-called "natural citrus" and "natural lemon" fragrance of domestic cleaners, try the cleaning products of Frosch. I bought it at first because it was light and not pungent. I tried it and found that the cleaning effect is also very good. Because it is a German brand, chemical products are strictly regulated in Germany, so Frosch's cleaning products are as environmentally friendly as possible under the premise of ensuring the effect. They are all extracted from plants and contain little or no chemical components such as preservatives, pigments and flavors. This powerful degreasing cleaner contains natural soda, which can effectively remove grease and stubborn stains. It has a good effect on range hoods.

Chanteclair | Italy

Universal decontamination spray

Besides Frosch, you can also try the universal decontamination spray of Chanteclair, an old Italian brand. Spray it directly on the surface of the article and then wipe it with a rag. If you spray stubborn stains, rinse them with hot water. Among the three flavors, the yellow bottle lemon tastes the best, and the price is not expensive, about 30 RMB.

Kobayashi Pharmaceutical | Japan

Sewer deodorizing cleaning pill

Xiaolin pharmaceutical pipeline cleaning pills, many on Taobao, have four flavors, pink peach flavor is my favorite, and blue is tasteless. It is very convenient to put it directly into the sewer pipe of the kitchen sink and wash it with water after half an hour. Regular use can sterilize and deodorize.

As mentioned in the last article, the dirty places in the bathroom are not only toilets and trash cans, but also shower rooms and bathtubs. Therefore, the cleaner recommended this time is not only used to brush the toilet, but also a mildew remover specially used to brush the bathtub and clean the mold in the corner of the shower room.

Method | USA

Bathroom cleaner natural bathroom cleaner

The brand method home is a household name in America. Less emphasis on design and packaging, down-to-earth to improve the cleaning effect, the price is also quite affordable. Many bloggers who are mothers often see Amway. Eric Ryan and Adam Lowry, founders, one is a designer and the other is a chemical engineer at Stanford University. They pay great attention to the naturalness and environmental protection of products in the research and development process. I first learned about this brand because a friend who lives abroad told me that her children's kindergarten used method hand sanitizer. The child said it was delicious. After she was accepted by Amway, she began to buy it and kept buying it back. So I began to try, and it really didn't look like detergent at all, because it was extracted from plants and smelled like shower gel.

In terms of sterilization, the method is also very good. They started with the sterilization of the bathroom. The patented herbal sterilization formula can kill 99% common bacteria in the family. I recommend this bathroom cleaner, which can be used to clean bathtubs, shower rooms, shower heads and so on. Spray it directly on the surface, let it stand for about 10 minutes, and then rinse it with clean water. It is quite convenient to use. You can also use it to clean the sink, because it is also the easiest place to accumulate scale and bacteria. You can buy a bottle of 89 yuan on Taobao! If you want to emphasize the sterilization effect, buy an ANTIBAC bathroom cleaner, which can also be used to clean the toilet seat.

Band-Aid Walsh | Australia

Glass spray Sydney mint & rosemary

Sydney Mint &; Rosemary mirror cleaning solution

I have recommended Band-Aid Wash many times in Wuping, and it is also a brand that I have repurchased and used for more than 2 years. This brand, like Murchison-Hume, originated in Australia, focusing on natural fragrance home products. The founder Belinda Everingham is the mother of three children. She was worried that ordinary household cleaning products would have pungent smell and be harmful to human body, and began to develop a clean substitute that smells comfortable, natural and effective. It can be said that the products of this brand are very suitable for families with children and pets.

Over the past year, with the promotion of many media and bloggers, Band-Aid Wash has gradually gained popularity in China, and there are more and more purchase channels. I started at 10/ 10? I hope to contact this brand. In addition to serving as Band-Aid Wash, they also have many natural and organic lifestyle products. You can follow their "10 10 Hope Life Log" on the official WeChat account and go directly to the brand's self-operated WeChat Mall to buy.

Don't be afraid to step into the "minefield" when buying this brand, because almost all products are easy to use. If this is the first time to buy, I suggest buying a family cleaning experience set at the price of 198 yuan, so you can try the effect and taste.

Mrs Meyer's Clean Day | USA

Toilet cleaner natural bathroom cleaner

Mrs Meyer's toilet cleaner tastes the best of all. There are two flavors, the yellow one is a mixture of verbena and lemon, and the lavender one. Thelma A. Meyer, the founder, is a mother of nine children and a gardening enthusiast. She found that her daughter couldn't stand the pungent smell of chemicals when she helped clean the aisle of the room, so she decided to develop a cleaner that would make people feel happy when doing housework, as if they were in their mother's garden and enjoying it.

The smell and inspiration of all products come from the garden. They are rich in plant ingredients and natural enzymes, and are naturally non-irritating. There are many kinds of products, from laundry detergent to toilet cleaner, as well as universal cleaning liquid for cleaning countertops and walls. The cleaning effect is very good and it is also suitable for families with children and pets.

SC Johnson | USA

Drainage pipe dredging agent

I also recommended the Japanese version of Johnson SC Johnson products. This dredging agent for kitchen and bathroom sewer pipes is a must for me to live on the ground floor. Colorless and odorless, it will not damage the pipeline, has strong dredging effect, and can also deodorize and sterilize. Many domestic brands will emit white smoke when they come into contact with the residual water in water pipes, so they must wear masks when cleaning. This model has no worries in this respect at all.

In addition, Johnson & Johnson's mold cleaning spray is also a lifetime push. Mold will inevitably grow in the corner of the bathroom, and it will be difficult to brush it off completely after a long time. Spray it directly, and wait 10 minutes to rinse it with clean water. Except corner, toilet, shelf, bottle bottom of shower gel, etc. It can be used for cleaning, and even the mold at the rubber joints of doors and windows can be easily removed.

The cleaning work of the living room and bedroom is similar, and it is basically dust removal+insect prevention. The first is the floor cleaner. Both Murchison-Hume and BONDI WASH recommended above have very practical floor cleaning products. Because they are all highly concentrated formulas, just pour the small bottle cap cleaning solution into warm water and wipe it directly. If you use the sweeper like me, that's no problem.

Band-Aid washing/murchison-Hume floor cleaner

In addition to floor cleaning spray, you can also consider buying a multifunctional household cleaning spray (desktop spray), which can be sprayed on any non-porous surface in the space, such as lamps, homes and so on. , and then wipe it clean with a damp cloth or sponge.

Truce | America

? Wood cleaner, orange and. Lemon wood furniture cleaner

Truce cleaner is designed for wooden furniture. It is made of five simple ingredients, including citrus oil, olive oil and vinegar. After use, it can make the surface of pure solid wood furniture more shiny, and make a protective layer on the wood surface to prevent the furniture from mildew or cracking.

This brand was founded by Kandie Konomos. Kandie is a professional cleaner herself. During work, her skin often reacts with chemicals in cleaning products, which unfortunately leads to contact dermatitis. Her good friend Diann Peart is a doctor of ecology. Both of them realized how important it is to have a clean and non-toxic space that is safe for family members and even pets, so in 2008 they founded this brand (formerly known as Herb'N Organics), which specializes in producing pure natural and hypoallergenic cleaning products. This cleaner is available on Amazon.

Aromatherapy Wash | Australia

Protection mattress spray mattress protection spray

Adairs is a famous bedding brand in Australia. They have a brand called aromatherapy washing, which mainly makes some cleaning products related to bedding. I recommended their mite spray on WeChat official account a year ago, and now that product has a new package? Note that the packaging of many of their products is similar, which is easy to be confused. The full name of this product is protective mattress spray, and only it is aimed at eliminating mites. Spray it on the surface of mattress, bed sheet or sofa for several times, and let it stand for 10- 15 minutes to effectively remove mites.

Aromatherapy washing products are all natural ingredients and do not contain pesticides. Families with children or pets can also use it safely. They also launched a series of dog care sprays for families with dogs, which can effectively reduce the smell of dogs and can be used to spray in the dog's nest or near the activity place.

Finally, a few simple small "remedies" that can be DIY, I have tried them myself.

Lemon+white vinegar

This trick is used to clean the microwave oven. The last article mentioned that there are many bacteria in the microwave oven, which need to be cleaned regularly. You need a lemon and a little white vinegar. First, squeeze lemon juice into water, and put this bowl of water in the microwave oven for 3 minutes. Turn on the microwave oven after about 1-2 minutes, and then gently wipe the inner wall of the microwave oven with a wet rag. You will find that the stain will be clean as soon as it is wiped. Then mix the white vinegar into a bowl of fresh water, soak the dishcloth in the bowl for 2 minutes, then wring it out, and then wipe the inside of the microwave oven again. This not only successfully removes stains, but also achieves the effect of sterilization.

Prague apple vinegar

I have been drinking this Prague organic raw apple vinegar, in fact, because I heard a nutritionist friend say that honey can remove Helicobacter pylori and is good for the stomach. Later, it was found that it was also a good helper for housework. As long as it is diluted with a little water (1: 1), it can be used to clean the kitchen stove, clean the mold in the bathtub, and even remove the water stains on the faucet and the stains on the carpet. Best of all, it can help you weed! After dilution, it is directly poured into the area where weeds are easy to grow to inhibit their growth. However, the cost is a bit high. After all, this jar costs dozens, so I'd better keep it for myself.

Soda powder+essential oil

Soda powder really exists like "tiger balm". Pour it into the pot with water according to the ratio of 1:20, and throw all kinds of rags in the kitchen. After boiling, you will find that the rag is no longer greasy. Dip a small amount of baking soda water in scouring pad, and you can easily clean the tea stains or coffee stains in the cup. Another trick is to put it in a beautiful small dish, drop a few drops of essential oil and put it in the corner of the bathroom or kitchen. This is a natural deodorant. Choose the flavor of essential oil according to your own preferences, and you can create your own air freshener ~

Let's call it a day. I hope you like it.
