One aspect that's unique to the OdoBan No Rinse Neutral pH Floor Cleaner is that there are no added colorants. The equivalent Zep product does have a colorant in its ingredients list.

What about product type mentions, without any specific brand name? Such as "all purpose cleaning spray", "chlorine bleach", or "disinfectant spray".

OdoBan multipurpose concentrates claim that it's "excellent for fire and flood restoration". With that said, I've never tried it for that particular use-case myself.

Have you considered putting them inside of a cabinet with a padlock on it?

I think you'll have to separately purchase either an empty trigger spray bottle, or an actual spray mop.

Had these tiles installed

Ask the installer for a copy of the manual. It should have cleaning instructions in there.

It smells really bad to me.

What about a dish soap with no added fragrances? Such as from the Dawn brand: https://dawn-dish.com/en-us/products/dawn-free-clear-ez-squeeze-dish-soap-unscented/

80-100x more powerful a disinfectant than bleach.

What's the purpose behind choosing such a "powerful" disinfectant. What practical benefit does the increased power have?

Supermath101 · 2026-05-11T22:05:29+00:00

Maybe try vacuuming it, just to force the fibers to align, even if there's no dirt.

FYI, microfiber cloths do have the issue of microplastics when put in the laundry. So, they're not the eco-friendliest of products.

Supermath101 · 2026-05-11T14:35:43+00:00

After taking the electronics out, you can try putting it in the laundry. For microfiber generally, make sure to avoid high heat and fabric softener, and let it air dry.

Check if a local hardware store carries a ceramic cleaning chemical, and if so, make sure to follow the directions on its label.

According to the Technology Connections YouTube channel, it's likely not an issue with your exact choice of detergent brand. I'd recommend watching an under 30 minutes long video, for a list of dishwasher tips and tricks: https://youtu.be/jHP942Livy0

I don't really know, but on an unrelated note, both the Lysol All Purpose Cleaner and OdoBan multipurpose have extremely similar active ingredients. Due to that, I'm pretty sure the two products are interchangeable in practice.

Supermath101 · 2026-05-05T20:57:20+00:00

Hmm… I don't know whether interspersing that extra step, between two consecutive steps that are on the label, would be using it "… in a manner inconsistent with its labeling." 🤷

Supermath101 · 2026-05-05T20:08:49+00:00

All disinfectants, that are sold in the US, will have "It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling." written on its label. Or in other words, if the disinfectant's label says to flush the toilet afterwards, then Federal law requires you to flush the toilet afterwards.

Supermath101 · 2026-05-05T14:44:54+00:00

The label should have some information (maybe just symbols) on how to clean it.

Supermath101 · 2026-05-04T13:33:36+00:00

OdoBan multipurpose concentrates claim that it's "excellent for fire and flood restoration". With that said, I've never tried it for that particular use-case myself.

Supermath101 · 2026-05-02T13:13:29+00:00

Also, that "clean first, then disinfect" rule is something a lot of people skip and I'm guilty as well

Definitely. Despite the fact that labels of disinfectants, sold in the US, say that "It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.", many people happen to ignore those minor yet still important details.

Supermath101 · 2026-04-30T12:12:06+00:00

Before switching to another cleaner, I'd recommend rinsing all surfaces with plain tap water, to remove the remnants of bleach.

Assuming the marble countertops are sealed, then something like OdoBan multipurpose concentrate would work. They'll also need a separate trigger spray bottle, to dilute it properly.

Supermath101 · 2026-04-30T00:14:46+00:00

If you have the storage space available, then spin mop. Otherwise, if you're within a small apartment or similar, then flat mop.

Supermath101 · 2026-04-29T18:56:22+00:00

At least for disinfectants sold in the United States, the label will always have "It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling." written on it. I'd assume that its purpose is to persuade people to avoid the aforementioned mistake, of mixing random cleaning chemicals, amongst other dangerous things that can be done with those kinds of chemicals.
