What Are All-Purpose and Universal Cleaners?
All-purpose and universal cleaners are essential for every household, commercial business, and professional cleaning service. These versatile cleaning agents are suitable for nearly all water-resistant surfaces and are especially popular for regular maintenance cleaning. Whether in the kitchen, bathroom, or office, a good universal cleaner allows for efficient, thorough, and time-saving cleaning.
At Heros Hygiene, we ensure our cleaners are both powerful and gentle on materials. They reliably remove dirt such as grease, dust, or food residues from surfaces made of plastic, ceramic, glass, or metal. For wooden surfaces, however, we recommend using specific wood cleaners.
Another advantage: Our all-purpose cleaners are available in various forms—concentrated for larger areas or in practical, ready-to-use spray bottles for quick touch-ups.
Product Selection: Hygiene All-Purpose Cleaners from Heros Hygiene
Our product range includes carefully selected cleaning agents that meet the needs of both private and commercial users. One of the most popular is the Forol Universal Cleaner by Dr. Schnell. It meets the highest hygiene standards and impresses with its powerful cleaning performance and gentle formula.
Another customer favorite is our cleaning stone. Made entirely from natural ingredients and completely acid-free, it is especially safe—even around children. This cleaning stone is suitable for many household and professional applications. Simply moisten the included sponge, create some foam, and get started. After cleaning, just rinse with clear water and dry.
All-Purpose Cleaners with Long-Lasting Fragrance
If you appreciate freshness as well as cleanliness, an all-purpose cleaner with fragrance is a great choice. Our range includes cleaners that leave a pleasant, long-lasting scent after use. Especially in kitchens, restrooms, or lounges, this adds an extra feeling of freshness.
Ecological All-Purpose Cleaners – Environmentally Conscious Cleaning
For customers who value sustainability, we offer ecological alternatives. The Forol Eco All-Purpose Cleaner by Dr. Schnell is a great example: It is based on natural raw materials, biodegradable, and entirely free of harmful substances. This allows for thorough yet eco-friendly surface cleaning.
All-Purpose Cleaners with Alcohol – Powerful for Hygiene
Alcohol-based all-purpose cleaners are especially popular when it comes to hygienic cleaning with a fast-drying effect. They are ideal for cleaning glass surfaces, ceramics, and glossy finishes, as they dry without streaks. Additionally, they offer enhanced effectiveness against bacteria without the need for additional disinfectants.
Differences Between Dish Soap and All-Purpose Cleaner
People often ask whether dish soap can be used as an all-purpose cleaner. While both are cleaning agents, they differ significantly in composition and effect.
Dish soap is specifically formulated for removing grease from dishes. All-purpose cleaners, on the other hand, are made for a wide range of surfaces and contain ingredients that ensure uniform cleaning without leaving residues. While dish soap may cause foam and streaks, the right all-purpose cleaner delivers streak-free results.
Using Dish Soap Instead of All-Purpose Cleaner – Is That Okay?
In isolated cases, dish soap may serve as an emergency solution, for instance with light dirt on smooth surfaces. However, caution is advised, as dish soap is usually not intended for floors or delicate materials. To be safe, it's better to use a tested universal cleaner tailored to the specific application.
All-Purpose Cleaners for Disinfection – What’s Possible?
Not every all-purpose cleaner automatically functions as a disinfectant. However, there are specific formulations that provide both cleaning and germicidal effects. These products are especially suitable for hygiene-sensitive areas such as kitchens, restrooms, or medical facilities.
At Heros Hygiene, we also offer cleaning agents with disinfecting properties. It’s important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and observe the required contact time to achieve the desired effect.
Application Tips for Universal Cleaners in Everyday Use
Our customers across Switzerland appreciate the simple and effective use of our cleaners. Here are a few tips for optimal results:
• Dose the cleaner according to the instructions. For concentrates, always follow the recommended dilution ratio to avoid residues.
• Test on an inconspicuous area before applying widely, especially on sensitive materials.
• For smooth surfaces, we recommend using a microfiber cloth to prevent streaks.
• After cleaning, especially on food-contact surfaces, rinse with clear water.
Our online shop offers a wide selection of universal cleaners—from single bottles for household use to large containers for professional cleaning companies. If you have questions about choosing or using our products, we’re happy to help. The Heros Hygiene team looks forward to providing you with expert advice.
