How do you make a home made kitchen cleaner?

I tried it once after reading about it on here, and found the same. It's very harsh.

I use about 1/4 of a bottle of smart price all purpose cleaner ( about 25p of 750ml so costs about 6p to make up a bottle full) in an old spray bottle and fill up with water. It smells nice and is really good for shifting grease.

I use an old spray bottle with water and a tablespoon of vinegar for windows and mirrors.

A paste of bicarbonate of soda and an old toothbush does the hob and the oven (leave it a couple of hours and scrub and it shifts most things and the toothbrush is great for getting around te knobs).

A tiny bit of baby oil on a soft dry cloth brings up anything stainless steel to a lovely streak free shine but you only need the tinest amount otherwise it feels oily.

Hope this helps.

I just clean the counter, cooker, sink and tiles with a small shake of soda crystals (about 1/2 a teaspoon) and a damp sponge. Wipe down quickly at the end with the rinsed out sponge to be sure there's no powder left and it's done. I do the same in the bathroom for the tiles, tub and sink. The toilet I add about 1 tbsp of soda crystals to the water and scrub around with the brush. It actually keeps the limescale away better than anything else I've tried.

Anyway, I haven't needed expensive cleaning products in years, but the few times I've tried some I've been disappointed as they took longer and didn't leave things as clean.

I make a mix of bicarb and white vinegar, sometimes i add lemon juice as well. Salt for stubborn/stuck on things.

I use tesco value cream cleaner 32p, great for bathrooms, sinks, paintwork etc. For everything else including floors, I use Tesco Daisy kitchen cleaner trigger spray 46p, I always keep the empty kitchen spray and decant half of the new stuff into it and top both up with water. Two for the price of 46p.

Tried star drops but my hands didn't like it.
