My $15 bottle of all purpose cleaner changed my whole cleaning routine

I used to buy separate cleaners for every surface. Glass cleaner for mirrors, bleach spray for bathrooms, degreaser for kitchens. Last month I ran out of everything at the same time and grabbed a generic concentrate from the dollar store in Portland. Turns out one bottle diluted right works on basically everything. My cabinet under the sink is way less cluttered now. Anyone else found one product that replaced like five of your old ones?

Tbh my $3 glass spray from Walmart works better on mirrors than any all purpose cleaner I've tried.

I dunno @morgan898, I've had the opposite experience honestly. Those cheap glass sprays leave streaks on my mirrors half the time, but a good all-purpose cleaner with some vinegar in it cuts through everything without leaving residue. My aunt gave me a sample of some fancy concentrate from the hardware store and it works better on windows than anything labeled as glass cleaner. Different strokes I guess but I side with the original post on this one. My sink cabinet went from chaos to just a bottle and a spray nozzle.

Wait, are we really comparing a cheap glass spray to anything with vinegar? I tried the vinegar route once and my whole kitchen smelled like a pickle factory for a week. Plus I forgot to label the bottle and my roommate thought it was salad dressing. Nearly ended up with a vinaigrette disaster on my bathroom mirror. But hey, whatever keeps the sink cabinet from looking like a bomb went off in a cleaning aisle, I'm all for it.
