What Can I Clean in My Laundry Room with All-Purpose Cleaner?
What Can I Clean in My Laundry Room with All-Purpose Cleaner?
The laundry room is where everything goes to get clean...
But how often do we actually clean the laundry room?
Between detergent drips, dryer lint, dust, muddy clothes, pet hair, empty hangers, laundry baskets, and that mysterious collection of things found in everyone's pockets, this hardworking little room can get messy quickly.
The good news?
You don't need a shelf full of cleaning products to give it a refresh.
PÜR Evergreen® All-Purpose Cleaner can handle many of the everyday cleaning jobs throughout your laundry room, helping you keep the space cleaner without adding more bottles and clutter.
Grab your cleaner, and let's take a look around!
1. Washer Exterior
Your washing machine does plenty of cleaning, but the outside needs a little attention too.
Detergent drips, dust, fingerprints, and everyday grime can collect on:
- The top
- Front
- Lid or door
- Knobs
- Buttons
- Exterior detergent drawer area
For compatible appliance finishes, use your All-Purpose Cleaner to give these exterior areas a quick wipe.
When cleaning near buttons, control panels, openings, or electronic components, apply cleaner to your cloth rather than spraying directly onto the machine.
Always follow your appliance manufacturer's care recommendations.
2. Dryer Exterior
Your dryer can collect dust and lint surprisingly quickly.
Give the exterior a regular wipe, paying extra attention to the:
- Top
- Front
- Door
- Handle
- Knobs
- Control area
Again, spray your cloth rather than directly spraying electronic controls.
And while you're cleaning, don't forget that removing lint from the dryer's lint filter according to the manufacturer's instructions is an important part of regular dryer care.
3. Tops of Your Washer and Dryer
Be honest...
Is the top of your washer or dryer currently being used as extra storage?
Laundry products.
Single socks.
Loose change.
Clothes waiting to be folded.
Maybe something you put there three weeks ago and completely forgot about.
Clear everything off and give the surface a good wipe.
You might be surprised by how much cleaner the entire laundry room feels when these two surfaces are clear and clean.
4. Laundry Room Countertops
If you're lucky enough to have a folding counter or workspace in your laundry room, you know how useful it can be.
You also know how quickly it can become covered in lint, dust, detergent residue, and random household items.
Use your All-Purpose Cleaner on compatible countertop materials to clean up everyday messes before folding fresh laundry.
For granite, quartz, natural stone, butcher block, or specialty surfaces, follow the countertop manufacturer's cleaning recommendations.
5. Cabinets
Laundry room cabinets are easy to overlook.
Take a closer look around the handles and edges, and you may find fingerprints, dust, detergent residue, or other everyday grime.
Wipe down compatible:
- Cabinet fronts
- Drawer fronts
- Handles
- Knobs
If your cabinetry is painted, stained, natural wood, or has another specialty finish, check its care recommendations before using a cleaner.
6. Open Shelving
Open shelves are wonderful for laundry-room organization.
They're also wonderful at collecting dust and lint.
Every so often, remove your laundry supplies and wipe the shelves before putting everything back.
While everything is down, take a minute to organize.
Put frequently used items within easy reach and remove empty containers or products you no longer use.
Cleaning AND organizing at the same time?
We'll call that a win.
7. Utility Sink
If your laundry room has a utility sink, it probably sees some pretty messy jobs.
Depending on the sink material, your All-Purpose Cleaner can help with everyday cleaning around the:
- Sink basin
- Faucet area
- Surrounding countertop
- Exterior
- Cabinet below
Utility sinks come in many materials and finishes, so follow the manufacturer's care recommendations before cleaning.
8. Laundry Hampers and Baskets
Here's one that's easy to forget.
Your laundry basket carries dirty clothes...
And then we put clean clothes right back into it.
Every so often, empty washable or wipeable hampers and baskets and clean compatible surfaces according to their care instructions.
Pay particular attention to handles and other frequently touched areas.
9. Detergent and Laundry Product Storage
Detergent containers and the shelves underneath them can get sticky.
If you've ever had liquid detergent drip down the side of a bottle, you know exactly what we're talking about.
Wipe down compatible storage bins, trays, shelving, and containers to keep the area from becoming a sticky mess.
And while you're there, check your supplies so you know what actually needs replenished.
10. Laundry Room Doors and Handles
Doors tend to collect fingerprints and grime around the handle area.
For compatible painted or finished surfaces, wipe down the door and handle as part of your regular cleaning routine.
If your laundry room has closet-style or bifold doors, don't forget those too.
11. Light Switches
Think about how often you walk into the laundry room carrying an armful of clothes and reach for the light switch.
Exactly.
Give switch plates an occasional wipe.
Apply your cleaner to the cloth rather than spraying directly onto or into electrical components.
12. Baseboards
Laundry rooms are magnets for lint.
And somehow, much of it eventually finds its way to the baseboards.
Dust or vacuum first if needed, then wipe compatible baseboards to remove the remaining grime.
It's a small detail that can make the room feel significantly cleaner.
13. Windowsills
If your laundry room has a window, don't forget the sill.
Dust, lint, and everyday debris can settle there, particularly if the window is frequently opened.
Add it to your occasional deeper-cleaning list.
14. Storage Bins and Organizers
Laundry rooms often become storage spaces for much more than laundry.
Cleaning supplies.
Extra paper products.
Pet supplies.
Light bulbs.
Household tools.
Random things that don't seem to belong anywhere else.
Wipe down compatible plastic storage bins, baskets, organizers, and shelving while you're cleaning.
Then take five minutes to put things back where they belong.
Your future self will thank you.
One Cleaner Can Handle a Lot in the Laundry Room
Think about everything we just covered.
Washer exterior.
Dryer exterior.
Counters.
Cabinets.
Shelves.
Utility sinks.
Laundry baskets.
Storage containers.
Doors.
Switch plates.
Baseboards.
You could buy separate cleaning products for different areas of your home...
Or you can simplify.
That's exactly why we created PÜR Evergreen® All-Purpose Cleaner.
For compatible everyday surfaces, one versatile cleaner can move right along with you.
Fewer products. Fewer bottles. Less clutter. Simpler cleaning.
How to Reduce the Number of Cleaning Products Under Your Sink
Your Cleaning Routine Isn't the Only Thing You Can Simplify
While you're simplifying the laundry room itself, take another look at how you're doing your laundry.
Traditional laundry routines can involve bulky detergent jugs, disposable dryer sheets, and a lot of packaging.
A few simple swaps can make your laundry routine a little less cluttered and more sustainable.
The Benefits of Switching to Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products
Laundry Detergent Sheets
Our Laundry Detergent Sheets eliminate the need for a bulky liquid detergent jug.
They're easy to store, easy to use, and take up much less room on the shelf.
No giant plastic jug.
No measuring cup.
No liquid detergent dripping down the bottle.
Just a simpler way to do laundry.
Wool Dryer Balls
Wool Dryer Balls are another easy reusable swap.
Instead of continually purchasing disposable dryer sheets, dryer balls can be used again and again.
And unlike a box of disposable dryer sheets that needs to be replaced, your dryer balls are ready for the next load.
It's another example of our favorite philosophy:
Reuse instead of replace whenever you can.
One Cleaner, Every Room: How We Use Our All-Purpose Cleaner Throughout the Home
Concentrate Saves Even More Laundry Room Space
Laundry rooms aren't always big.
That's another reason concentrated cleaning products make so much sense.
Instead of storing multiple ready-to-use cleaning bottles, you can refill the bottle you already have.
Our 32 oz PÜR Evergreen® 4X All-Purpose Cleaner Concentrate makes approximately 120 16 oz bottles of ready-to-use cleaner.
At $56 for the concentrate, that's approximately 47¢ of concentrate per 16 oz bottle.
One bottle of concentrate.
A whole lot of cleaning.
And a lot less space needed on the shelf.
Why Concentrated Cleaners Are Better for Your Home and the Planet
A Cleaner, Simpler Laundry Room
You don't have to completely reorganize your laundry room or spend an entire afternoon cleaning it.
Start with the basics:
Clear the tops of your appliances.
Wipe the washer and dryer.
Clean the shelves.
Wipe down the cabinets.
Tackle the baseboards.
Organize your laundry products.
Then look for places where you can simplify.
Could one versatile cleaner replace several bottles?
Could a reusable product replace something disposable?
Could a concentrate replace another ready-to-use plastic bottle?
Small changes can add up to a laundry room that's easier to use, easier to clean, and a little more sustainable.
And that's what PÜR Evergreen® is all about.
