Flashy Cleaning but without Flashy Prices

Hi Folks,
As I did my housework yesterday (bleugh!) I realised that I do a little money-saving thing but hadn't shared it because I'd forgotten that I did it.
You know the Flash cleaning products that you get in the supermarkets that come in the trigger spray bottles, and cost anything from £1.60 to £2.00 - well if you get a bottle of normal Flash liquid, and one of those plastic bottles you spray your plants with, you can mix your own 'spray' and save a bit of dosh.
A 500ml bottle of liquid (approx £1.19) can last up to 4 times longer than their bottle of spray liquid. You just mix the concentrate with water, to your preferred strength, in your plastic plant spray bottle and off you go.
I use mine for everything - from cleaning the cooker, the bath and the floor. All in one handy, cheaper, bottle.
I hope this little tip is helpful for others.
Cheers
