One mum eagerly shared her discovery of Tricleanium in the Facebook group “Mums Who Clean,” sparking excitement among members.
“If you can get your hands on this, you won’t need anything else,” exclaimed the thrilled mom. “Range hood vents? Spotless. Bathroom vents? Spotless. Tiles and grout behind the stove? Sparkling. Stove-top racks soaking in a bathtub – that gunk comes off like magic. I’m a clean freak, always keeping my kitchen spotless, but nothing works like this. It’s simply amazing.”
What is Tricleanium used for?
Other group members wanted more information on how to use Tricleanium effectively in their homes.
One member inquired, “How do you use it on grout? I’m wondering if I can tackle my white floor grout. I was told to be cautious as it might not be suitable for aluminum.”
The mum responded, “I grabbed a spray bottle, added some Tricleanium, and then filled it with water. I simply spray the tiles and grout behind my stove, and they came out looking brand new.”
Another member chimed in, saying, “Tricleanium is brilliant on floors. Just add it to your mop bucket with water and mop away. Follow up with a water-only mop, and you’ll be delighted with the results.”
In another post, a mum shared her trick of using Tricleanium to keep her front-loading washing machine clean.
“I do a drum clean with 1/2 cup of Tricleanium and 20 drops of clove oil,” she explained. “It seems to work, and I also leave the door ajar so it isn’t sealed all the time.”
One thing to remember when using Tricleanium is that it should not be used on aluminum surfaces.
What is Tricleanium?
Tricleanium is an Australian-owned business with a history dating back to 1954. Originally used for wall cleaning before painting, this now-cult cleaning product is flying off the shelves at Bunnings and on Amazon, with many claiming it surpasses sugar soap in effectiveness.
Tricleanium is composed of 100% alkaline salts and can be applied to a wide range of surfaces in your home, including floors, countertops, showers, exhaust fans, stoves, oven trays, fridges, and washing machines. It’s also effective for removing surface mold.
What you shouldn’t use Tricleanium on
Avoid using Tricleanium on brass, aluminium, carpeted surfaces, and non-colourfast materials. It’s recommended to wear gloves when using this product and to conduct a spot test beforehand.
How to use Tricleanium
Tricleanium can be mixed according to the surface you are cleaning. The Tricleanium website provides recommendations based on what you are cleaning, but as a general guideline, diluting a quarter of a cup (1 level capful) of Tricleanium in a 9-litre bucket of hot water is suggested for general cleaning purposes.
