Let’s dive into the simple yet powerful staples that help us deliver our Golden Standard clean—so you can bring the same magic to your own space.

Why the Right Products Make All the Difference

Cleaning isn’t just about making things look nice—it’s about creating an environment that supports your well-being. And that starts with using the right tools for the job.

The wrong products can leave behind harmful residues, irritate allergies, or simply waste your time. But the right ones? They make cleaning faster, safer, and way more satisfying. That is why they are our favorites cleaning products.

Our go-to are:

• Easy to find at your local store
• Safe for use around elders, pets, and children
• Trusted across generations for a reason
• Effective without needing to over-scrub or overspend

1. Fabuloso (Lavender) – A Soul-Soothing Scent and Clean

This iconic multi-surface cleaner doesn’t just disinfect—it makes your home feel clean. That lavender scent? It’s like a spa day in a bottle. Use it on floors, counters, or even to refresh a mop bucket.

Why we love it:
It leaves a fresh, calming smell that helps our clients unwind after a long day. For busy moms or seniors with limited energy, it gives that clean-home feeling without the heavy lifting.

2. Bar Keepers Friend – Tough on Grime, Gentle on You

This miracle powder is a powerhouse for sinks, bathtubs, and even rust or water stains. Just a sprinkle and a scrub, and surfaces look like new again.

Why we love it:
Perfect for deep cleaning in elder homes—especially in bathrooms or kitchens where buildup happens fast. It’s reliable, effective, and doesn’t rely on strong fumes to do its job.

3. Classic Dish Soap – Not Just for Dishes

A good-quality dish soap (like Dawn or Palmolive) can be used for more than pots and pans. Mix it with warm water for a gentle yet effective all-purpose cleaner that’s safe for hands and surfaces alike.

Why we love it:
Affordable and versatile—great for cleaning baby toys, kitchen grease, or even delicate surfaces. Ideal for germaphobes who want a simple but safe solution.

4. White Vinegar – The Natural Deodorizer and Disinfectant

White vinegar is a budget-friendly natural cleaner that cuts through grease, neutralizes odors, and even kills certain bacteria. It’s fantastic for descaling coffee makers, deodorizing drains, or wiping down hard surfaces.

Why we love it:
It’s a game-changer for families or elders looking to avoid harsh chemicals. Pro tip: mix it with baking soda for a fizzy deep clean in sinks and toilets.

5. Glass Cleaner – Streak-Free Shine, Every Time

A simple glass cleaner (like Windex or even a DIY version with vinegar and water) makes all the difference when it comes to mirrors, windows, and glass surfaces.

Why we love it:
Crystal-clear windows and mirrors instantly elevate the feel of a room. Great for quick touch-ups before guests arrive or in high-touch areas like bathroom mirrors.

• No time to clean? These tools make quick work of messes so you can get back to your day.
