AsteriskRating Disclaimer

Reviewing products, like reviewing movies or restaurants, is arguably a subjective process (even for well-funded consumer groups) based on the review criteria (what the reviewer considers important) and the unique perspective of the reviewer. Thus, when considering The Housekeeping Channel's reviews, please do not use the numerical product ratings (e.g., "9.5 out of 10") for direct product comparison purposes since these represent the unique 'take' of each reviewer, and will often vary qualitatively and quantitatively from product to product.

Do rely on the text of the reviews for issues to consider when purchasing similar products, and do consider the scientific data supplied (for example, information from the Carpet and Rug Institute's Seal of Approval-related research) that will help you in your decision making process. We believe the "truth" about products can only be discovered by weighing, then averaging, a number of factors and credible viewpoints based on available resources and science, then making buying decisions based on what is important to you.

Pros

  • Multipurpose clean and shine product means fewer products to purchase.
  • Excellent shine on most* types of surfaces.
  • Very little product is needed to obtain desired results.

Cons

  • Slight chemical odor.
  • *We found this product required extra effort to buff out on highly polished dark stone surfaces.
  • A little on the pricey side at $8.00 per 12 oz bottle, however this can be offset by not having to purchase multiple products to do the same job.

As a housekeeping service, Quality Cleaning Maid to Order looks for a multi-surface cleaner and polish to remove most normal soils, such as fingerprints, light soil and dust, while leaving a streak-free shine.

In our testing, we were very impressed by the shine the All in 1 product gave to most* surfaces. We did have a little trouble with darker polished stone surfaces and persistent streaking, which ended up with our having to spend a little more time buffing the product out on those surfaces than on other surfaces tested.

 

The product works on these surfaces:

A very little of this product will go a long way. The resulting shine on surfaces was very durable and lasted for quite a while under normal wear.  Over all we would highly recommend this product to homeowners looking to clean and shine a wide variety of surfaces with just the purchase of one product.
