I put bleach in empty spray container. I have been going through so much bleach just from pouring out to much. And find it easier to just spray toilets and kitchen area

Another convert......never thought about it. I use gallons of the stuff!
Thanks for the tip

Real men do not use handcream, just swarfega if really dirty, or washing up liquid other wise

Who pays out for Swarfega ?
You get cheap washing up liquid and add a few glugs of white spirit/turps.

Nargleblast

General all-purpose cleaner for all round the house, kitchens, bathrooms, carpet stains, paintwork etc. I would think you could even spray it on plants to deter greenfly.

1 part washing up liquid
2 parts lemon juice
4 parts white vinegar
5 parts water

Mix carefully and decant into spray bottle(s)

I've been filling my hand wash dispensers with all of the leftover bubble bath and washing stuff we were given for Xmas and birthdays for years instead of giving it to charity shops. You can pretty much use anything with sodium laureth sulphate in it as hand wash, handwashes are the biggest con of the household products industry next to Milton sterilising liquid!

The very cheap shampoo I've found in most supermarkets works as well as any other hand wash I've tried, and it doesn't have the dubious antibacterial chemicals that seem to be in most handwash products now.

However, I prefer bar soaps. Liquid detergents never seem to clean as well.
