Kitchen: mild degreasers. Bathroom: chlorine-free disinfectants. Bedrooms and living rooms: neutral and preferably aromatic products. Floors: specific to the type of material. And most importantly: read the labels! At Sunshine, we use high-quality products with your family and pets in mind.

When it comes to house cleaning, choosing the right product is just as important as the act of cleaning itself. Each room in your home has its own purpose, materials, and cleaning challenges. That’s why using the same all-purpose cleaner everywhere is a mistake that could harm your surfaces—and even your health.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to choose the best cleaning products for each space in your home, ensuring effectiveness, safety, and long-lasting results.

🧽 Why It Matters: The Risks of Using the Wrong Cleaner

• Surface damage (especially wood, granite, or marble)
• Strong chemical smells
• Residue that irritates skin or triggers allergies
• Unsafe environments for children and pets

That’s why professional cleaning companies, like Sunshine, carefully select products based on each room’s need. Let’s break it down room by room.

🍳 Kitchen: Cut the Grease, Not Your Safety

Recommended: Mild degreasers and non-toxic multi-surface cleaners

The kitchen is where we prepare meals, so it’s crucial to avoid harsh chemicals. Go for degreasers that are powerful on oil but safe for food-prep surfaces like countertops, stoves, and microwaves. Look for labels that say:

• Non-toxic
• Food-safe
• Plant-based

Sunshine uses gentle, effective kitchen cleaners that leave a fresh, clean scent without overpowering the space.

🚿 Bathroom: Disinfect Without the Harsh Fumes

Recommended: Chlorine-free disinfectants and anti-mold sprays

Bathrooms require disinfection, but that doesn’t mean flooding them with bleach. Chlorine fumes can be harmful, especially in small, poorly ventilated areas. Instead, choose:

• Hydrogen peroxide-based products
• Essential oil-infused antibacterial sprays
• Mold removers safe for tile and grout

Sunshine avoids chlorine and prefers bathroom cleaners that balance sanitization with safety, especially in homes with children or asthma sufferers.

🛏️ Bedrooms & Living Areas: Keep It Neutral and Pleasant

Recommended: pH-neutral cleaners with light, natural scents

These are the places where we rest and spend the most time. The focus here should be comfort and indoor air quality. Choose:

• Neutral pH dusting sprays
• Hypoallergenic fabric fresheners
• Essential oil-based air purifiers

At Sunshine, we use cleaners that are free from harsh chemicals and help maintain a calm, welcoming environment.

🧹 Floors: One Size Doesn’t Fit All

Recommended: Floor-specific solutions for tile, wood, laminate, or stone

Using the wrong floor cleaner is a recipe for damage. For example:

• Wood floors need gentle, non-acidic formulas.
• Tile floors benefit from degreasers with a neutral pH.
• Stone surfaces like granite or marble require non-acidic, specialized products.

Always read the label and test on a small area before applying. At Sunshine, we match our product selection to your floor type for maximum protection and shine.

🐶 Think About Your Pets and Kids

Pets and children are often in contact with floors, soft surfaces, and the air in your home. Choosing non-toxic, biodegradable cleaning products is essential.

We always recommend:

• Avoiding ammonia and bleach
• Using eco-friendly, plant-based solutions
• Ensuring rooms are ventilated during and after cleaning
