What brands of cleaners do you use or recommend?

Question

I am trying to cut my cost in several areas. I always use Dawn dish soap w/ bleach or the odor remover kind because we eat a lot of pasta and garlic dishes. Whenever I have tried to switch to a cheaper brand it seems that the bottle goes quicker because the soap is thinner and doesn't seem to suds well. So where can I cut cost in household cleaning supplies. I have a high efficiency washing machine as well.

1. Dish soap

2. Laundry detergent he

3. bleach (do you need the he kind here) --do you worry about bleach for colors?

4. bath tub cleaner

5. toilet bowl cleaner

6. floor cleaner

7. kitchen cleaner

8. bathroom cleaner

etc...what generics work as well as brand names?

Answer 1

I use dawn for dishes. I also use borax instead of bleach since I worry about bleach in the environment. Bathtub cleaner you can use baking soda, You can use both baking soda and borax for your kitchen. Here are a few alternatives to cleaning products that you can make yourself.
