General purpose cleaner spray

I just want a spray bottle cleaner for general things like cleaning my mobile phone, or cleaning dust and dirt off of surfaces like the tv or the table.

I know flash do multi purpose spray but thats quite expensive and i was looking for a own brand one but the only one i could see was just called 'antibacterial cleaner' and it was see through the liquid has no colour. Is this the same sorta thing as the flash multi purpose?

I dont mind buying a cheap own brand spray as its less than £1 and convenient but i want to get the right one. The other ones I saw were like bathroom and kitchen sprays but i'm just after a general cleaning spray.

Any suggestions?

    I bought some empty spray bottles from the gardening section and filled them myself, I have one with diluted stardrops and one with diluted dettol. both seem to cover pretty much all jobs.

    Hope that helps :)

    I do the same as Wonder_Girl, I gave up on buying loads of different cleaning materials and just use either stardrops, dettol or bleach. Plus you can buy all three for less then one bottle of flash:cool:

    ok thanks, when it says antibacterial does that basically mean it just cleans things? is there anything it doesnt do that the flash one would ? !

    I use Stardrops diluted into spray bottles. It seems to clean everything I need it to.
