Spray vs liquid cleaners

Which do you find the best? I use Flash liquid gel which is good, I used to use the Flash spray and that was good also but the liquid seems stronger. Which do you use? I try not to have loads of cleaning products but sometimes I wonder if I have enough of them.
I try to keep my flat as clean as possible though I am not obsessive about it. When I see programmes on the telly about obsessive cleaners who use every product going and mop their floors daily I feel I can't keep up with that. I mop my floors with a floor wipe and flat mop, can't be faffing with mops and buckets. I am thinking of getting a steam cleaner but have heard they are more faffy than useful. Any views on this?

I think that the Flash liquid gel is supposed to be diluted with water - does it come in a flattish bottle with a yellow screw top?
I use Flash liquid cleaner diluted 50/50 with water in an old Mr Muscle spray bottle, and it works fine on worktops, windows and kitchen cabinets.0 -
Thanks for your reply, yes it is the flat bottle but it has a flip top, you can dilute it to use on floors but can use it neat on other surfaces.0

I'd say just use whatever you're comfortable with & gets the job done.
In our kitchen & bathroom (& whole house) we use no "specialised" cleaning products at all.
We wipe everything in the kitchen down with a damp sponge at the end of each evening & wash up with fa1ry. Twice a week I sweep the floor & each Friday I mop with bleach/water. Chrome all gets a wipe with value baby oil whenever the kiddos have left prints all over it.
In the bathrooms/loo I use water/t-tree oil in a spray bottle for surfaces/sinks/bath/shower cubicle, value-style c1f for the shower tray to keep it shiny/soap residue free & bleach for the loo once or twice a week. I mop these tile floors with bleach once a week too.
Everywhere else just gets a dust with a micro fibre cloth, cobweb with the wand or hoover at some point each week.0
