Don’t buy ready-made cleaning products. Real TSP is available. Amazon Prime means free shipping.

Ammonia,rubbing alcohol, peroxide, vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, salt are all cheap and available. Most products are combinations of tiny amounts of these plus water and fragrance. Add 1-3 drops of Original Dawn Dishwashing liquid/quart and the same amount of your favorite essential oil if you want detergent and fragrance. Recipes all over the net and they take minutes to make up as needed. Add one of those silver-impregnated cleaning cloths (there are cheaper versions than Norwich and they last for years) and a piece of microfiber for drying and you’re golden. There are recipes for whatever you need online.

The average household product contains pennies worth of ingredients sold for dollars.
