Want to save money on everyday essentials? Stocking up on cleaning products at Costco is a smart way to cut costs while keeping your home spotless. The warehouse giant offers a vast selection of cleaning supplies, but with so many options, it can be hard to know which ones are worth buying. After all, no one wants to be stuck with a giant bottle of cleaner that doesn’t work as expected. To help you shop smarter, we asked two cleaning professionals to share their top Costco cleaning picks.

- Robin Murphy, cleaning pro at Maid Brigade and author of Who Likes It Dirty
- Logan Taylor, founder of Dazzle Cleaning Company
Floor Cleaner
Robin Murphy, president of Maid Brigade, says Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner is one of her favorite cleaning products to pick up at Costco. “It’s my go-to wood floor cleaner,” she says. “It dries quickly and leaves no residue.”
You can buy a spray bottle of the cleaner along with a large refill bottle so you can tackle spills and accidents easily—and you’ll have plenty of product on hand when the spray bottle runs out.
Hand Soap and Multi-Purpose Soap
Hand soap is something that always seems to run out faster than expected, so it helps to buy it in bulk at affordable prices. Murphy loves Mrs. Meyer’s Hand Soap since it not only gets the job done but also smells great. “Whenever I go to Costco, I grab a pack of Mrs. Meyer’s Hand Soap—it’s plant-based, smells amazing, doesn’t dry out my hands, and actually works,” she says.
If eco-friendly cleaning products are a must-have in your home, be sure to add Dr. Jacobs Pure Castile Soap to your cart, too. “This is a completely junk-free product that’s gentle and versatile,” Murphy says. “It takes care of dishes, laundry, cleaning produce, even my dogs.”
A multi-purpose soap like Murphy’s pick is a practical choice for those with limited storage space. Since it can clean just about anything, it eliminates the need for multiple products, helping you cut down on all of those extra bottles.
