I Use This 68-Year-Old Brand’s Multisurface Spray All Over My Home (It Smells So Good!)

As an editor who regularly tests cleaning products, my collection of cleaning supplies is forever changing. But one staple I always have is a multi-surface spray. It’s good to have multifunctional cleaners on hand, like a multi-surface one, because they are safe to use all over your home. Lately I’ve been obsessed with using Pledge’s Antibacterial Multisurface Cleaner Spray. Not only does it get my home so clean and bacteria-free, but it also makes every surface smell really good.

Pledge was first introduced in 1958 and is widely known for its furniture polish, but the brand also has all-purpose and multi-surface cleaners. The Antibacterial Multisurface Cleaner Spray in particular is gently formulated and cleans sealed hard nonporous surfaces — granite, marble, quartz, glass, mirrors, etc. — and kills 99.9% of bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus (Staph), Salmonella enterica (Salmonella), Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae). 

To use Pledge’s Antibacterial Multisurface Cleaner Spray, you hold the can upright and spray about 8 inches away from any surface. I like to leave the cleaner for a couple minutes on any stuck-on messes so it can work its magic, then wipe it all away with a soft cloth. 

I love that it’s a continuous spray and only requires me to press the trigger once instead of constantly pressing it to get more solution out. The Antibacterial Multisurface Cleaner Spray leaves behind a lovely citrus scent that I enjoy, too; it’s not overpowering at all, and smells so fresh and citrusy. 

I particularly like using this spray in my kitchen, but I’ve also used it all over my home — in the bathroom, on my TV console table, and on my desk area. It’s definitely on my restock list of cleaning supplies I need to buy ASAP.
