Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Multi-Surface Everyday Cleaner
Mrs. Meyer’s
This multipurpose cleaner has rave reviews for a reason—it’s effective, smells nice, and at $4.99 a bottle (or less if you find a deal), it’s a great alternative to harsher cleaners. “Using powerful essential oils, Mrs Meyer’s Clean Day products have a pleasant scent, instead of nasty smelling chemicals,” says Erika from Living Well Mom. I’m a big fan of essential oils, using them for many household tasks and remedies, so this product line was right up my alley.”

The spray doesn’t contain disinfectant, but this doesn’t seem to be an issue for most. “It’s a great general cleaner,” one Redditor commented. “Table tops, shelves, walls, counters, headboards…. I use the concentrate on my floors. Most of the time you don’t really need a disinfectant unless everyone has been sick or you tend to throw raw meat on your counters, etc. I use it every day (I like to disinfect counters after dinner but wipe down with that after other meals… I use disinfectant in the bathroom but otherwise that’s a good surface cleaner.)”

The cleaning spray doesn’t have the same harsh smell as other commercial cleaning products. “I use this solely to clean my kitchen counters - my husband always knows when I've cleaned by the lavender scent which is divine!” one Amazon customer says.
Using Around Plants and Pets

Customers say they feel more comfortable using the spray around their plants and pets. “Been using this cleaner for the last week and really like it,” a Home Depot customer wrote. “The scent is good but not overpowering, and leaves everything smelling good. It works as a good general purpose cleaner and I don't see any residue that was left behind or needs to be cleaned up. You can sometimes get residue with cleaners but this one doesn't have any. Highly recommend for cleaning and not worrying about what you are spraying.”

Customers say they use the spray for anything from hardwood floors to kitchen counters. “You can't beat the Mrs. Meyer’s ability to clean anything,” a CVS customer says. “It cleans my cook top and counters with one swipe. This scent is AMAZING. It smells like a high end hotel!”
