Off topic, but, that is really weird. Reminds me of one I did that had half of the post in really large letters. It didn't look that way when I typed it and submitted it, but I couldn't edit it when it was done for some reason. Weird.

I did this one on purpose. I think that happened because I didn't hit the stop spell check. Or, not.

I also use Dawn for dishes, but I buy whatever is on sale to. I am going to try Barkeeper and the Works since most recommend.

I use my Shark wet mop for floor it steams away the dirt, no soaps just plain water, I use whatever laundry detergent is on sale.


Windex for mirrors and glass countertops , Pledge for furniture, Comet for stainless steel sink. For my granite countertop I was told just plain dish detergent . My tumble marble back splash the same.

I use Clorex Bowl Cleaner, Kaboom or Srubbing Bubbles for Bathroom.. I use soft scrub a lot for sink. I buy whatever is on sale, I try different products.

I have the Mr Clean Magic Eraser that I haven't used as of yet.

I keep SOS pads on hand. They are definitely necessary sometimes. And the Dobie pads.....I'm never without them. I use them ALL the time for cleaning my pans with the Barkeeper's Friend. They are so handy!!

Gina, just a question and a comment. I have a steamer, but it's a boiler with a hose and a special floor attachment, but it has a leak on the cap for the steamer, so haven't used it for a while. I saw the Shark wet mops at Bed Bath and Beyond, but was afraid that they did not hold enough water and I'd be refilling it constantly. I had a Dirt Devil floor cleaner and that was the problem with it. Had to fill it a dozen times to do my floors. Can you do quite a bit of area with the Shark?? I'm really interested in it.

Also, I use just plain dish detergent frequently for my everyday cleaning of granite because it's handy, but often and especially for my weekly cleaning I do use the Black Diamond Counter Cleaner for granite and stone. You may want to consider trying it. It makes the granite counter tops really shine, and has such a nice clean scent. I love the stuff. For my tumbled marble back splash, the dish detergent is fine because it's dull anyway, but just wanted to let you know about the Black Diamond. It's a bit pricy, but a gallon lasts quite a long time. You can google it and they do sell small bottles. FYI.

My new dresser has a marble top. How should I clean it?

[Gina]

Marilyn, the reservoir holder is kind of small, but to be honest I do my kitchen floor , my foyer which is a pretty big area. I also brought it in Bed and Bath, make sure you have your 20 percent coupon lol. It cleans pretty nicely but I have grooves in my ceramic tiles where dirt gets embedded and the shark does not lift it out, I get down on my hands and knees to do that. But in between its pretty good, works great on the wooden floors to. You would be surprised how much dirt accumulates on the mop. The only thing Shark does not do is rugs there are other brands that clean rugs. I have a area rug in my living room and some scattered around the house. I mostly have ceramic and wooden floors throughout. It is lightweight and I find I wash my floors more often now being there is no hassle lugging the mop , and bucket. lol


Marilyn, buy it and don't throw the box or receipt away, if you don't care for it bed and bath takes everything back.

I will buy the Black Diamond for my countertops do you have to buy it online only or do supermarkets carry it?
