Effortlessly Get Rid of Any Dirt or Stains! Top 100-Yen Cleaning Products from Daiso and Seria

1. Get Rid of Stubborn Grease Stains with the Sesqui Cleaner (Daiso)

The Sesqui Cleaner is a spray made of sodium sesquicarbonate and electrolyzed water. It is designed for use on grease stains. Spray it on sticky areas like your stove top or stove fan, let it sit for a little bit, and then scrub with a sponge. The grease will come off easily, and your kitchen will come away looking spotless. It also deodorizes, removing noticeable smells like fish from your kitchen. One recommended area to clean with this product is the inside of the microwave. It’s an easy place to forget to clean, but you can make it sparkle with the Sesqui Cleaner.

It may sound unorthodox, but this cleaner can also be sprayed on clothes before putting them in the laundry in order to remove oily stains. During the warm summer months, stains on your collar and sleeves can become noticeable. Spray some cleaner on the problem areas, and then wash as usual for great results with minimal effort. You’ll definitely want to use this for white shirts and white clothes in general!

2. Clean Sinks and Bathrooms with the Citric Acid Cleaner (Daiso)

Part of the same series as the previously mentioned Sesqui Cleaner, we also recommend the Citric Acid Cleaner. Wipe off limescale in your bathroom and kitchen using this spray and a sponge. It also disinfects, and works for cleaning the toilet.

One recommended use is for garbage bins and kitchen drainage. As the temperature rises, it’s easier to notice the smells coming from your garbage bin. During these times, just spray the Citric Acid Cleaner to prevent the spread of germs and reduce the smell.

3. No Detergent Required With the Melamine Sponge (Daiso)

This popular, perfectly-sized Melamine Sponge can wipe away stains without using detergent, and is available at 100 yen stores. The Melamine Sponge is more dense and firm than a regular sponge, allowing it to polish stains away. Because of its rough texture, it’s not recommended for use on fragile surfaces.

For residue on the bottoms of pans or other stains that look difficult at first glance, just use this sponge with water, and watch them rinse away! The fact that no detergent is necessary is a major selling point, and it\'s great to keep a small Melamine Sponge in the bathroom for when it might come in handy. Taking the sponge and detergent out to clean can feel like a pain, so just reach for the Melamine Sponge and wipe with water for an easy solution! One cube can be reused many times, but make sure to replace it when it starts to look worn.

4. Clean Tricky Windows and Mirrors with the High-Performance Cross Microfiber Glass Cleaner (Seria)

When wiping windows or mirrors, it’s easy to leave lint or streaks on the surface, making it feel like an impossible task to keep them clean. Furthermore, if you have young children, somehow they are always leaving fingerprints on the lower parts of the windows. After you’ve cleaned, it feels like no time at all before it looks dirty again, so it’s easy to put off this chore for a long time.

Seria’s High Performance Cross Microfiber Glass Cleaner will make this chore much easier. Even without detergent, it will leave your windows spotless. They come in individual packs, but we recommend buying two - one for wiping while damp, and one for wiping while dry. If you wipe with a damp cloth first and then a dry one, the result is a sparkling surface with no streaks. Windows are eye-catching areas, so keeping them clean feels good.
