Everyday floor cleaners: Lysol vs. Mr. Clean

I have a cream colored tile kitchen & attached eating area.

Have previously used Mr. Clean with a Libman microfiber mop. For some reason I grabbed a bottle of Lysol Multi Surface Cleaner. Used it today. I am thinking it's not as clean as the Mr. Clean floor I am used to.

Any opinions?

I have white tile in the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry. I use Lysol and Mr. Clean interchangeably, and see no difference in the results.

They are the same. Fabuloso is the best!

If you use cleansers Simple Green and Fabuloso are better than the nationally advertised Mr. Clean, Lysol, and Pine-sol. In fact, I like the smell of Lysol, and I suppose it's still highly regarded in germ reducing capacity, but it's always been a mediocre cleaner for actually cleaning the surfaces.

Where I have something greasy to clean up I like Mr Clean when I want to sanitize i prefer lysol. Each has their place in my home. For instance - I use bath oil every day so there is a oily ring in the tub - Mr Clean. i use Lysol kitchen cleaner to clean my kitchen counters and sink.

I rotate my cleaners with Mr Clean, Fabuloso, Lysol All Purpose and Simple Green, get them all at Walmart.

Funny about the Mr. Clean. It has fluorescein in it, which is a fluorescent dye. It's a bit like the brighteners that are in detergent. They fluoresce in light, making whatever it is on look brighter. I noticed the fluorescein when I was cleaning my tub (I use Mr. Clean.)

I love the Lysol Spray Disinfectant, but find the liquid cleaner to be worthless. Mr. Clean is "ok", but I much prefer Professor Amos' Shock It Clean from HSN. That stuff cleans ANYTHING. It also doesn't have bad ingredients. Don't know how it does it, but it cleans!

If you really have something dirty to clean try AWESOME from the Dollar store - but always try it on a spot first as it can damage things. It truly is AWESOME.

I checked the reviews on HSN for this, but they aren't really that good. I think he had a TS a few days ago.

I like Simple Green or Pine Sol. I'm probably the only one in the world that likes the smell of Pine Sol.
