Cleaning with non-toxic, bio-degradable, natural products is the ONLY way to go – UNLESS you clean with steam!  I recently purchased the Shark Steam Cleaner and am LOVING it!  No cleaning solutions are necessary as the power of steam does it all.  I purchased this device for small areas that are difficult to scrub and it really does the job.  I use it in the shower to blast the grout, in between the glass shower doors, corners and crevices of the sink and faucet…really any small space.  There are a few attachments to assist – a brush end, a sponge end, etc.  I found the sponge to be a little difficult to work with on my tile shower but maybe on a smoother surface such as my counter tops  it will be better.  The little brush end was great to scrub the soap scum while steaming but I could easily see the brush getting worn out rather quickly.  That being said, I’m sure that you can either purchase a replacement or better yet, just use the regular pointed end to blast the steam and use your own scrubbie to remove the grime.  You do have to exert a little effort to scrub the old grime but I seem to think that now that I’ve finally gotten the grime I’ve been unable to get with a regular scrubbie and Bon Ami that going forward it’ll be much easier as there won’t be so much build up.  It also works great for windows and mirrors – they even include a microfiber cloth to wipe them down for a streak free shine!  The cord is super long so you can plug it in and very easily navigate around a large room without have to un-plug and re-plug.  I did find myself refilling it a few times before the job was done, but again, there was a lot of built up grime that I hadn’t been able to tackle so I’m assuming next time it’ll take less time and I won’t need to keep stopping to refill the steam.  To get the steam out you have to squeeze the handle several times to get it going, at first I wasn’t squeezing enough but once I realized I should continue squeezing I saw much better results with the amount of steam and the strength of the pressure.  It was about $50 at Bed Bath and Beyond and even cheaper with one of their 20% off coupons.  I’m assuming this will last for years and that being said, the price is well worth it as it’ll save on cleaning supplies and will be less of a burden on the environment.
