Frequently Asked Questions
Which cleaner is better for removing dried stains?
Rejuvenate Squeaky Clean dissolved a week-old sticky note adhesive in one spray, while Attitude Nature+ needed two passes for dried spaghetti sauce and three for a crusty ketchup ring.
Does Rejuvenate Squeaky Clean leave any residue?
Yes, it left a faint white haze on dark granite, though the article notes mom wiped it away with a damp cloth.
Which all-purpose cleaner smells better?
Attitude Nature+ has a pleasant lemongrass scent described as ’like a spa that got rained on,’ whereas Rejuvenate Squeaky Clean smells sharply chemical, like a hospital with a lemon allergy.
Is Attitude Nature+ safe for kids or pets?
A child sprayed it into her mouth and reported it tasted ’like a salad that went to college,’ and the dog licked surfaces cleaned with both cleaners without harm, though Rejuvenate cleared the room when used near the dog bed.
Which cleaner is more plant-based?
Attitude Nature+ is plant-based and comes in a bottle described as looking like it could hold artisanal kombucha, while Rejuvenate Squeaky Clean is called ‘industrial grade’ by the dad.
Attitude Nature+ takes the crown because it survived what we now call ‘The Hope Incident’ — a four-hour cleaning session involving a seven-year-old, a spray bottle, and a sock-stealing dog. It cleaned well enough to satisfy Mom’s silent standards, smelled good enough to keep Dad from launching into another vacuum analogy, and didn’t make the dog sneeze. What you give up is raw power and a lower price. For tough baked-on crud, you’ll need a second pass. But for a household where ‘helping’ means collateral damage, Attitude is the cleaner that lets you laugh about the mess instead of cry. Just don’t let Hope taste it again.
If you need a cleaner that can withstand a seven-year-old’s chaos, leaves a pleasant scent, and doesn’t require you to memorize the nozzle’s secrets, go with Attitude Nature+. If you’re cleaning solo in a child-free zone and want maximum chemical punch for the lowest cost, Rejuvenate Squeaky Clean will serve you fine — just keep it away from the kids and the dog, and maybe air out the room afterward.
At the end of the day, the best cleaner is the one you actually reach for when you see a spill. Hope will spray whatever she can grab. Mom will use whatever smells least offensive. Dad will argue about it. The dog doesn’t care. Trust your gut — and maybe buy both. One for the counters, one for when you need to feel like a pro. Just label them clearly. Hope doesn’t read labels. She reads chaos.
