These Are the Cleaning Products Real Moms Say They Actually Use All the Time

Cleaning products can be expensive (not to mention all the space they take up), so when you're shopping, you probably want to get products that actually work — not just the ones you're bombarded with through social media ads. Mom life is all about being as efficient as we can be, so we asked other moms what they're actually using around their house. Spoiler alert: It's not just stuff that comes in cute packaging. From all-natural products to true chemical disinfectants, the recommendations covered something for everyone's needs. Sounds just like a mom, right?

Clorox Urine Remover

"If our 6-year-old gets urine on or around the toilet, we have him clean with a Clorox wipe immediately. By doing this, he’s now more encouraged to slow down while using the bathroom. We have fewer accidents. The Clorox Urine Remover is definitely a go-to — especially for potty training."

"Scentsy Counter Clean, it cleans everything! Couches, carpet, etc. It’s crazy! It has gotten stains out of my carpet. I learned about it from another Scentsy consultant that cleaned stains out of her fabric car seats and carpet."

"This stuff is legit! I had mildew in the caulking in our shower and this is the only thing I found that worked. I tried the toilet bowl cleaner and pretty much everything but this — you just spray on and no scrubbing!"

"We have two elderly dogs who have occassional accidents on random things aound the house, so this laundry booster is a godsend in our household. It's super easy to apply and any soiled items come out of the laundry smelling fresh as a daisy! We also love that it's free of any harsh chemicals and doesn't have a cloying smell like some other similar products."
