The 6 Most Amazing-Smelling Countertop Cleaners of All Time

Scrubbing and wiping down kitchen counters may feel like a tedious yet necessary task. But clean counters can make a world of difference between a tidy kitchen and a messy one, which is why we searched high and low for the absolute best-smelling kitchen counter cleaners so you can enjoy a swoonworthy fragrance while doing chores. Let’s take a look at what we found!

For tough-to-clean kitchen countertops, like granite, Caldrea’s Countertop Spray is a powerful cleaner with a uniquely scented combination of warm juniper and fresh mint. This seasonal scent comes right in time for cleaning pre-holiday prep and cooking. Made with essential oils and birch bark (to help cut grease), this cleaning spray also works wonders on wood, tile, laminate, and porcelain.

Mrs. Meyer’s Multi-Surface Everyday Cleaner in the calming yet crisp lemon verbena scent is a natural and eco-friendly option to clean your kitchen countertops. While Mrs. Meyer’s cleaning products come in a variety of signature scents like basil and lavender, lemon verbena smells classically fresh and clean. Plus, the multi-surface cleaner can also be used on hardwood floors, tile, and walls.

With its cult following, it’s likely you’ve taken a whiff of Capri Blue’s super-popular volcano-scented candle — a candied yet citrus-infused aroma reminiscent of the tropics. This same uplifting scent also works as a multi-surface cleaner. It’s perfect for keeping kitchen countertops both spotless and fragrant. The scent is so good, reviewers say the “smell of this cleaner makes cleaning (almost) enjoyable!”

If you’re looking for a summer-all-year-long scent worth the splurge, Williams Sonoma’s Countertop Spray in pink grapefruit is like a refreshing glass of freshly squeezed juice. With botanical essential oils and biodegradable ingredients, this countertop spray leaves the kitchen sparkling with a heavenly aroma to match. The pretty, three-piece set also includes bottle dish soap and an all-purpose cleaner.

Cleancult’s All Purpose Cleaner in bamboo lily has rich, floral notes that create a sweet, after-rain smell. Wipe away grime, dirt, and residue from your kitchen countertops with this non-toxic cleaner and leave your kitchen feeling like a rainforest. Created with a plant-based formula powered by coconuts, this cleaner is gentle yet effective on kitchen countertops and other surfaces like wood, glass, and tile. Reduce waste with the company’s eco-friendly carton packaging, and pour the cleaner into a refillable spray bottle.

On your next run to The Container Store, grab a bottle of their exclusive Real Simple’s All Purpose Cleaner in sweet orange and basil. This cleaner not only smells like what a refreshing mocktail tastes like, but it’s also sustainably made and works hard on any non-porous surface. Plus, you won’t find any harsh chemicals on the ingredient list. For the same cleaning power in a different form, try Real Simple’s compostable cleaning wipes that also come in sweet orange and basil.
