The Cost vs Quality Debate: Are Premium Brands Worth It?

Walk down the cleaning aisle and you’ll see two options:

✔ Big-name premium brands promising ‘professional results’

✔ Budget-friendly own-label alternatives that claim to do the same job

But here’s the real question: are expensive cleaning products worth it—or are you just paying for a shiny label?

Spotless.London tested both. Here’s what we discovered.

✅ Where Premium Products Justify the Price

1. Specialist Cleaners

For ovens, natural stone, and high-end surfaces, premium products are often safer and more effective. Cheap alternatives can cause damage.

2. Fragrance & Finish

Premium products often leave a better finish and pleasant scent—less streaking, more shine.

3. Performance in Tough Jobs

Oven cleaners, limescale removers, and floor products often show noticeable differences at the higher price point.

❌ Where Budget Products Work Just Fine

1. Multi-Surface Sprays

For day-to-day cleaning, own-brand products usually match premium results.

2. Glass Cleaners

Most budget versions deliver a streak-free shine if used correctly.

3. Floor Cleaners (Basic Use)

Unless you have specialist flooring, budget options are more than adequate.

✅ When Paying More Makes Sense

• If you have delicate or high-value surfaces (e.g., granite, marble, hardwood).

• If smell and finish matter to you.

• For tough, specialist jobs like ovens or heavy limescale.
