Your stovetop after cooking bacon. Your windshield after a long road trip. Your kitchen table after a family meal. Your toilet after, well, you know. Dirt, dust, grease, and grime seem to follow us everywhere we go and make a mess out of the surfaces we use for everyday tasks. That's why every household's cleaning supply arsenal should contain a quality multi-surface cleaner that's your go to tool for wiping away messes that accumulate on countertops, tables, walls, floors, appliances, and bathroom surfaces. Spray solutions are great for more targeted surface cleaning around the house, while diluted solutions from concentrate are great for floors, walls, and cars.

The options are seemingly endless, but ultimately choosing a multi-surface cleaner comes down to preference. To help you narrow down your choice, we took a look at some of the options on the market and chose a few of the best–check them out below.
