All-Purpose Cleaners & Sprays
Whether it is a shared space or a home office, your workspace requires regular cleaning to remain sanitary for use. You’ll get the most use out of all-purpose cleaners, which are useful on a multitude of surfaces. Find out more below.
What Are All Purpose Cleaners?
All-purpose cleaners are a category of cleaners that can be used for a wide variety of cleaning tasks. They are great for cleaning up spills and messes and disinfecting contaminated surfaces. When using any cleaning chemicals and wipes, it’s important to wear cleaning gloves to protect your skin.
What Are the Different Types of Multipurpose Cleaner?
Multipurpose cleaners are categorized by three major types — aerosol sprays, pump sprays and bottled cleaners. Each style provides unique advantages depending on your cleaning needs.
Aerosol Sprays
All-purpose aerosol sprays are perfect for quickly sanitizing large surface areas and high traffic objects such as doorknobs and railings. They can spray a fine mist of disinfectant or cleaner over a wide area and often can air dry without needing to be wiped down afterward.
Pump Sprays
Multipurpose pump sprays can be coupled with sponges and cleaning brushes or paper towels for cleaning surfaces and bathrooms. They’re great for cleaning tough messes, cutting through grease and reaching surfaces that are hard to reach with aerosol sprays alone. Pump sprays are best for easily applying large amounts of cleaner to spills and messes.
Bottled Cleaners
Bottled all-purpose cleaners can be used for disinfecting surfaces alongside cleaning supplies and for refilling spray bottles and sprayer accessories. They are a convenient way to buy all-purpose cleaner in large quantities for use in multiple applications.
What Can All Purpose Cleaner Be Used For?
All purpose cleaners have a wide variety of applications, given their general purpose nature. The main two forms of cleaning include disinfection and multi-surface cleaning:
Disinfecting
Many high traffic surfaces can collect germs, dirt and bacteria from constantly being touched throughout the day. It’s important to disinfect these surfaces regularly to ensure that they don’t spread germs between people. All purpose cleaners such as sprays can be used much quicker than multipurpose cleaning wipes.
Multi-Surface Cleaning
It’s important to have a cleaner that can be used on a wide variety of surfaces to consolidate the items in your cleaning closet. Multi-surface cleaners are the perfect all-in-one cleaning tool for daily housekeeping tasks. Use them for kitchen counters, spills on the floor or wiping up dust from an array of surfaces.
