Pleasant Scent, Effective Cleaner
Scent: Lemon Verbena Concentrate, Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I love the delicate verbena scent in Mrs. Meyers Clean Day Multi-Surface Cleaner. It’s very mild compared to other common household cleaner’s like Mr. Clean (Mr. Clean is one that knocks me over and I can’t stand the smell). Many years ago it was fine, but the scent has changed and become stronger, and NOT for the better. Manufacturers on the whole, use way too much scent in their products, whether it’s laundry detergent, fabric softener, hygiene products and anything else that scent is added to. Just take a walk down the detergent isle of your grocery store and if you aren’t immune to scent, you will find it overwhelming. This cleaner is not overpowering and smells just like verbena, a fresh, clean, green smell. I also love the way it cleans my wood floors, sinks, countertops, stainless steel fridge, stove & dishwasher, & everything else I clean with it. It leaves the surfaces “squeaky clean” without any streaks. Is it a good deep cleaning cleaner? I don’t know for sure since I’ve never used it to clean up muddy, greasy, grimy, dirty areas in my home. It does remove dark marks on painted walls but I haven’t tried it on heavy dirt and grime. I imagine it’s comparable to Murphy's Oil Soap, which is another brand I love and have used for years. If the scent of cleaners is an issue for you, and you like verbena, you should love this cleaner. A little bit goes a long way in a bucket of water (for washing floors, etc.). I usually use allot less than is recommended (in everything from laundry detergent to household cleaners). Especially my laundry detergent. I used to use the recommended amount and found with concentrated products, the amount recommended is way too much. I could feel the soap in my clothing after the wash cycle finished. I had to re-rinse all my loads. Then I got smart and cut way down on detergent and included vinegar in the final rinse cycle. Manufacturers love to sell more product, so don’t go by what they state on the container. Use your own wise judgement. On a side note, I love Costco’s Industrial Strength powdered laundry detergent but I cut way back to 1/4 cup per med to large loads. The white dress shirts and tee shirts are much brighter & whiter compared with many other detergents I’ve used in the past. I highly recommend this product for all of the above reasons. Give it a try at least once. You may love it too!
