Six smart cleaning products

The right cleaning product can do wonders for your home, health, and mood! It is tempting to reach for a super-strong chemical to get the job done, but then you risk harming your own health, the environment, the climate, and even the surfaces you are trying to clean. 

With just a little thought, most cleaning can be done without unnecessary chemicals. Here are six tips for cleaning products that solve the problem without a single warning symbol.

1. Kitchen soap in a pump bottle

The kitchen soap in a pump bottle is unscented and can be used for tough dirt, even where you prepare food. Pans, pots, baking trays. Soap it, let it work, and then most dirt is incredibly easy to remove. 

2. Soap spray

Everything you spray is dispersed into fine droplets, and you breathe some of them in. That is why it is important to use cleaning sprays that are kind to both you and the environment. Soap spray works excellently on the greasy surface behind the stove, kitchen countertops, and almost everything else. (The only surfaces you should avoid are those painted with linseed oil paint.) 

3. Window cleaner

Västerbottenssåpa window cleaner with soap and ethanol makes all surfaces shine. Spray it on and polish until shiny. 

4. Copper scrubber

Copper is a curious material: water does not scratch it at all, yet it is as sharp as a steel wool ball. It can save the day in really tough situations.

5. Scrubbing brush

A regular, old-fashioned scrubbing brush is so underrated. You will often read tips online about saving old toothbrushes and using them to clean grout, for example. Why? Take a scrubbing brush and clean the entire surface at once—much faster and much easier.

6. Cooktop scraper

The oven glass, a baking tray with burnt sugar, and so on. Apply soap and a little water, then let time do the work. Just like that, the dirt comes off, but sometimes it has burnt on so badly that you need to supplement this with the scraper—and then all the dirt loosened by the soap and time really comes off.

1. Why is kitchen soap unscented?
Answer: Do you need perfumed drinking glasses, cutlery, or chopping boards?

2. What is the difference between soap spray and soap in a pump bottle?
Answer: Soap in a pump bottle is more concentrated.

3. Why do you need a glass cooktop scraper?
Answer: You may need it for the oven glass or a badly burnt baking tray, for example.
