I was wondering if anyone uses ENJO products and if you like them. I was at a demo on Saturday and was very impressed with the product line. It is expensive and before I place an order I thought I would ask you all your opinion. If you are like me I don't want to spend a great deal of time cleaning and I try to use Eco and user friendly products. Any comments would be helpful. Thanks.

We don't have ENJO in Germany, but I use Prowin, which distributes very similar products. I LOVE all the microfiber cleaning cloths/tools. You need so much less cleaning agent, which is a big benefit, both for the environment and my budget, and my cloths last very long (you get, what you pay for).

Sorry, I'm of no help. Probably 80% of my cleaning products are vinegar, bleach and plain old water. I'm allergic to lots of stuff and these products seem to do the job.

I clean/ organize/ and stages houses . Quite frankly, you should save your money. All you need in your cleaning basket is vinegar, baking soda , (bleach for the toilets), Bar Keepers Best Friend, and a good quality vacuum with a Hepa Filter. As for cleaning cloths... old men's t shirts work really well with a small dab of Endust (if the air is dry.) All are enviormently friendly except the bleach, but nothing disinfects the toilets better.
Hope that helps you decide. The staples your grandmother used really do work the best.

Thanks ladies! Michelle, I am a vinegar user also for almost everything. With Enjo all you use is water. At the demo the demonstrator used the kitchen glove and cloth ( and water ) and cleaned the outdoor screens from a window, adding a little more water she cleaned the top and back of a stove top that the hostess had purposely left greasy after making bacon and eggs for the family, (it was squeaky clean! ) added a little more water and cleaned a full length mirror that she drew a happy face on with lipstick and had smeared butter ( she challenged us to touch the mirror and try and leave finger prints - ( couldn't be done ) she then took a wine glass that she put butter on and still with the same glove and cloth clean the wine glass and again it was fingerprint proof. Then she did the front of the black fridge and inside and outside of a microwave and finally she did the frying pan and sink that she washed the pan in. All squeaky clean all with just the same glove, cloth and only water! No cleaners!!! The cloth and glove were ready to rinse and hang to dry to later use. The glove look completely filthy with the dirt from the screen and it had 2 smears of butter and a smear of lipstick on it but still could be used.
The last demo she did that really amazed me was she took I think the light blue glove alone with only water and removed two 3 year old stains from a carpet. The hostess has 2 dogs and one of them had been ill and when she came home 3 years ago ( or so ) the dog had soiled the carpet. They had steam cleaned the carpet after trying the Pet Stain Remover with no success and a few other things. Barb our hostess does home cleaning and has for many years so I would think that she has some knowledge of stain removal. Anyway after 2 minutes of gently rubbing each stain they were gone.
So the only cleaner used with these micro fiber mitts and cloths is water.
I was impressed but again wondered if anyone else had any knowledge of the products.
Sorry for the short story!!!!

Thanks Jenn, I too use very little cleaners, really just for when I have been cutting and cooking poultry of any kind - then I am a mega cleaner freak. I loved the time saving with this product also. In 2 minuets she cleaned a bathtub with a ring and the tiles around the tub. that is the sort of time I would love to spend with 3 full and 1 part bathroom. So the time factor attracted me also.
One of my favorite cleaning hints that I got from my Grandmother is - if you have a cup that is stained with tea or coffee, 1/2 tsp of salt, water and a little elbow grease has it white in a jiffy. Thanks Grandma!

Jenn do they have to be old men's t shirts or do young men's t shirts work as well?  Katherine |

Katherine, very interesting! I would love a product that would allow me to spend less time cleaning. I do use Lysol Kitchen Cleaner for greasy messes, but usually I find that just the soapy water in the sink does the job.
And the smell is a bit much, but it does the job. I HIGHLY recommend KaBoom bathroom cleaner for tough showers. We use a shower spray in our shower, but the kids never do. About every 6 months I bribe DH to Kaboom the kids shower and it's squeaky clean. It's about $5 a bottle. And Walmart sells micro fiber towels.
How long does the glove last? Can you wash them in the washing machine? I'm not sure I want to be cleaning out a moldy shower and a doggy spot and then just rinse the glove out. I'm thinking lots of hot water and a cup of bleach in that load! We never use paper towels, but doggy sick is one thing that I won't hesitate to use a paper towel for. I want that just thrown in the trash!
It sounds really convenient and like a home based business? I'm all for supporting a home based business. I was a Longaberger consultant for over 15 years. I may pay a bit more if the product was good to support a small business. Especially if the product works that well.
Can you buy one glove, see if you like it and get more later on? I would probably be tempted to go that route. It's the bathrooms that I hate the most to clean!

The gloves and cloths are guaranteed for 2 years. The do go in the the washer but you can't put fabric softener in the wash and you just hang them to dry. Putting them in the dryer will damage them.
They have a toilet brush ( that she did not do a real demo with ) and all you use is the brush, no cleaner. Since we are grown up hear one of the other gals a there came to get another toilet brush as after you go through all the toilets in your home you do want to wash the brush head and cloth so you need extra heads. I clean the toilets every day but the other gal told me that she only does her 3 times a week now as for some reason the inside of the toilet repels all that may go in it and leave marks.
Another gal who had some of the products came to get the Car and Garage Set. She verified as did the hostess that when the dusting and polishing set is used your furniture repels dust so you dust less often. Just as the finger prints were with the kitchen set.
I felt myself getting more pulled in to buy at least the Kitchen, Bathroom and dust/Polishing sets.
One other thing the demonstrator said was that she picked up customers whose Sellers had retired or moved that had sets that were often 5-7 years old. i think it depends on how much you clean. Except for bathrooms and Kitchens for me that is as little as possible.
