Not All Cleaners Clean the Same
Multi-surface cleaners and degreasers are staples in most routines, but they’re not one-size-fits-all. Each one works differently, and using the right product for the right mess can make cleaning faster, easier, and better for your surfaces.
What They’re Made For (and Made Of)
Multi-surface cleaners are made for everyday messes. Think dust, spills, fingerprints, and light dirt. They typically contain surfactants (soap-like ingredients) that lift buildup from surfaces.
Degreasers are more heavy-duty. Their job is to cut through built-up grease, oil, and stuck-on grime. Many contain solvents or alkaline agents to dissolve tough residues quickly.
In short, multi-surface cleaners help you maintain. Degreasers help you reset.
Where to Use Them (and Where Not To)
Not every cleaner belongs on every surface.
Multi-surface cleaners are designed for, well, multiple surfaces: countertops, glass, sealed wood, plastic, tile, and more. They’re gentle enough to clean without damaging most finishes, but always check the product label for specific instructions and warnings.
Stovetops, range hoods, grills, and oven doors develop greasy buildup fast, so degreasers really shine in the kitchen. But because of their more powerful formulas, they’re not always safe for delicate finishes, like natural stone or sealed wood.
If you’re unsure whether a surface is sealed or safe, spot-test in a small hidden area.
Safety, Strength, and Residue (Oh My)
Thanks to their heavy-duty ingredients, traditional degreasers can be harsh on skin, eyes, and lungs, especially in enclosed areas. Some even leave behind residue that needs to be wiped again. Always make sure the area is well-ventilated and consider wearing gloves or protective eyewear when using one.
Multi-surface cleaners are usually milder, but many still contain synthetic fragrances, dyes, or preservatives that can trigger allergies or sensitivities. They’re also less effective on stubborn grease. So you’re often stuck choosing between something tough on grime or something gentle on your home.
That’s where Lively and our trusty probiotics come in.
