At SeeyonClean, we believe in smart, sustainable, and surprisingly effective cleaning. While there are thousands of products on the market, some hidden gems outperform their big-brand counterparts without the hype. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just love a spotless space, here are 10 underrated cleaning products that deserve a permanent place in your cleaning caddy.
1. Bar Keepers Friend This humble powder can erase rust, water spots, and grime from stainless steel, ceramic, porcelain, and glass. Don’t let the old-school packaging fool you—this is a secret weapon in professional cleaning circles.
2. Fels-Naptha Soap This laundry bar might look vintage, but it tackles modern messes like a champ. Use it to pre-treat greasy stains, food spills, or ink before tossing laundry into the wash.
3. Melamine Foam Sponges (Magic Erasers) These soft sponges tackle wall scuffs, dirty shoes, grime on light switches, and more—with just water. The best part? Off-brand versions work just as well at a fraction of the price.
4. Lemon Oil A natural polish and deodorizer, lemon oil leaves wood and stainless steel gleaming. It also helps repel dust and adds a refreshing citrus scent to any space.
5. Hydrogen Peroxide (3%) This mild antiseptic is a stain-lifting, mold-killing machine. Mix with baking soda for a natural scrub that brightens grout, tile, and even shower doors.
6. Washing Soda (Sodium Carbonate) Stronger than baking soda, this powerful powder is perfect for laundry boosting, cleaning greasy cookware, and breaking down build-up in drains.
7. Dr. Bronner’s Sal Suds Highly concentrated and biodegradable, Sal Suds is a green cleaner that cuts through grease and grime on nearly any surface. It’s perfect for eco-conscious homes and offices.
8. Pumice Stones (for Toilets) Mineral rings and stubborn stains in toilet bowls don’t stand a chance. Unlike harsh chemicals, pumice stones safely remove build-up without damaging porcelain.
9. Used Coffee Grounds Surprisingly effective, coffee grounds are natural deodorizers and mild abrasives. Use them to scrub greasy pans, freshen up garbage disposals, or neutralize odors in the fridge.
10. High-Quality Microfiber Cloths Not all microfiber is created equal. The good ones trap dust, polish surfaces, and clean with little or no product. Washable and reusable, they’re eco-friendly and budget-smart.
