Ordinary washing up liquid is very versatile and can be used as a replacement for most cleaning products. it can handle everyday grease and grime on every surface, from toilet bowls to shower tiles and glass. It can serve as a replacement for toilet disinfectant, cream cleaners, shower and bathroom cleansers, window cleaner, and everyday disinfectant. A mixture of hot water and dish-washing liquid is enough to kill household bacteria, as well as remove grease, grime, and dirt. When used on tiles and window glass it serves to remove built-up oils and can be buffed to a shine that competes with commercial window cleansers. It is pleasantly surprising how much dish-washing liquid removes. The only household duties it won't handle are heavy duty jobs such as the build-up of lime scale or stains such as coffee or tea (if you are staying away immediately you are fine, but if you allowed it to sit for a while the coffee or tea stain will burn into the surface).
If you are using products like Ecover (an environmentally friendly dish-washing detergent made from plan to derived sources), the washing-up liquid is so gentle that it can be substituted for hand-soap, shower gels, and soaps.
Dish-washing liquid:
Glass Cleaner
toilet cleaner
antibacterial spray
general-purpose surface cleaner
floor cleaner
shower and tiles spray
and so much more
I agree, supermarkets try all too hard to trap us into thinking that we must buy certain things even when they are not all that filling for what they are.
