    Hey all ... can't find a more suitable place to ask.

    I am sick of some of these supermarket sprays that claim to clean everything and don't. so MANY to chose from.

    Anyone have a recommendation for the absolute best spray cleaner to cover bathroom-toilet-kitchen ?

    I know Cif cream is the abs best for cleaning the top of the cooker ... but I want a spray.

    I was trying to chat up a girl recently and she said "Cillit wouldn't bang you". I though that was too strong, so there's your answer.

    Flash liquid gels are very good. I use it on floors, worktops, cooker top, all bathroom, but use bleach in the toilet. I even use it for cleaning the doors and windows. It's newish so it's often on offer too. We use it just about everywhere in our house.

    I gave up on sprays, some of them are very harsh on the throat when cleaning without windows open. With the gel I just put it on a sponge wipe the surfaces and then rinse off. It's great for bringing up the shine on surfaces.

    I've been wondering the same thing myself, especially for the kitchen floor. There is a lot of people traffic coming in and out, and it gets grotty looking very quickly.

    I'm going to try this out, thanks.

    WD40 is great at cleaning just about everything. Just try it if you don't believe me.

    Cillit Bang.

    Fairy Power Spray (green bottle) is great for the cooker top and oven too...let it soak in for 10 mins or so first.

    Got some dettol bathroom cleaner spray for the manky shower in an apartment i moved into. Everything else failed to move the grime, regardless of the amount elbow grease used. A quick spray of this stuff on a patch and the black stuff was melting down the walls.

    Downside is that is burns the sinuses off you. That "don't use in enclosed spaces" warning is there for a reason

    The landlady left in some of that
    after we had a leaky pipe,the smell is strong right enough but it's a vicious cleaner.

    Kerosene is excellent.

    Vinegar & baking soda.

    Kerosene is excellent.

    Petrol is better. If it hadn't the propensity to blow you sky high or make you high as a kite, that is.

    The best cleaner I found was E-poxy resin. Just mix it together and squirt it on a large cloth and rub it on hard, it really cleans sinks and especially the bathroom tiles and toilet. Always rub a bit extra on the rim of the toilet for extra cleanliness, I can't think of anything else that beats this stuff.

    Flame cleanses everything.

    Hydrochloric acid is yer only man - the dirt literally dissolves. Other stuff too, but the dirt, gone.

    A person would want to have a magic hand using that stuff, it cleans things so good you will notice your hand is not there anymore, translucent it might seem with a bit of goo'y liquidly substance where you were cleaning, but it can do a good job indeed.

    Human spontaneous evaporation, comes to mind.

    Chlorine trifluoride is pretty close to being a universal solvent.

    I have a CIF container which I fill up with Tesco bleach. Spray the bathroom all over, then a couple of kettles of boiling water over everything and the place comes up spotless. Use the spilt water to mop floor! ��

    Clean fresh kitchen cleaner with bleach is great, under a euro in Dunnes stores.

    See if you can find an industrial cleaner called "Azul". Where I work, it's used to clean the interior of airliners. It will shift anything but you do need to get some air flowing thru afterwards.
