Yes I like the Magic Erasers too. I use whatever I can spray on and get clean without a lot of bending and scrubbing.

For bathroom and kitchen its usually baking soda and vinegar for me. We do have a water softener hooked up to our water supply system and I believe that helps. Love blue Dawn for laundry spots along with my trusted Tide. Love Resolve carpet cleaner works wonders and RainX (for car windshields) cleans my many windows. And can't do without my lemon Endust for my monthly dusting.

I have gone to making my own laundry soaps because of allergies and I can tolerate my homemade detergent the best! Then there is windex! It cleans just about everything. Just have to watch for the streaks. You may end up with a lighter spot here or there, That just tells you where you have to clean deeper. I love spic and span for most everything else and Ajax for scoring power. I have used the Ajax and spic and span powders for more than 60 years and they really do make things the best. The magic erasers are nice for spot cleaning. On carpeting (I have white carpets I use peroxide. The carpet is close to 30 years old and looks close to new!
Best of luck you have so many choices. Try some to get the stains off the tub. For deep rust stains there is a cleanser called Zud that can work wonders too.

Ka-Boom for cleaning the bathrooms. Mr Clean and hot water cleans stains on the carpet better than Resolve. We have hard water also, so I use 1/4 cup of vinegar in the dishwasher, cleans the dishes and the dishwasher at the same time. I leave the that little cup in the dishwasher all the time, fill it with every dish load. Old English furniture polish for the furniture and Swiffer products for the floors. Oxy instead of bleach, Hubby is allergic to bleach.

For outside windows - 1/4 cup pine-sol in a bucket of water. Do not wet window first. Just take off screen and wash window with sponge mop in solution. Do not let it dry on window. Rinse with hose and it dries spot free.

I recently discovered that Magic Erasers are fantastic on glass. I have a mirror behind my stove to reflect light back onto the stove top - grease splatters galore. The Magic Eraser gets the grease off of the mirror and polishes it too. I have also used it on the glass shower door to great results.

I use the smallest amount that will get the job done. Of anything.
I have rigged up a way to wash my outside windows. I have a paint pad that was meant to be attached to a handle. I used a broom handle and have a square bucket. I use ammonia outside and can reach to the top of outside windows with my wet pad to rub a little. Then I use my 16 in squeegee at the end of a long stick to rub down the window to get the wet off. After that, I have another long stick with a rag tied to the end to get into the corners if needed. Not a perfect job, but good enough for me. I can wash all the windows on the outside of my house in about an hour. 36 individual windows and 7 doors with glass in them. That includes the garage and breezeway, as they are attached.

I concur with using Awesome. My son bought a used car which was a mess inside. He used Awesome on it and when he was finished with the cleaning, it looked like a new vehicle.

A couple of things I've found...first, husband and i wear a lot of tee shirt knit tops and polo shirts and inevitably, something on the way to the mouth will land on the shirt and leave a greasy stain. I tried everything until I reached the end of my rope. Last ditch effort, I soaked the stain with blue dawn, folded it in on itself and threw a shirt into the laundry basket, where it sat for a couple of days...washed it with the normal load and Bingo!! stain is gone. The trick must be in letting the detergent sit for a bit of time in order to penetrate the fabric.

The other trick is when buying Windex, do Not by the 'new advanced' one...look for something that says Original. That's the one with the ammonia and the ammonia is what does the job...will clean a mirror behind the stove in a New York minute!

vinigar is my favorite and sometimes with baking soda.
