I just bought some of this at Dollar General to try and I like it.  Smells good, doesn't make the towels too soft and smeary.

Spic n' Span and Mr Clean for the floors. Kaboom for the bathroom. 409, Ajax, Bar Keepers Friend for the kitchen. Endust and Old English for the furniture. Windex for the shiny surfaces. And good old fashioned ammonia. Honorable mention, Totally Awesome from Dollar Tree. Powerful cleaner and just a buck.

I really like things to be simple and I prefer using a bucket of hot, soapy water and a cotton rag to squirting cleaners everywhere and wiping (it doesn’t feel as adequate). I consistently use Mrs. Meyer’s all purpose concentrated cleaner diluted with water in a bucket, chlorine bleach, Bar Keepers Friend, Bon Ami, Sprayway glass cleaner, Murphy’s Oil Soap for wood without a polyurethane finish, Method Wood for Good for wood with a polyurethane finish, Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap, Folex for carpet stains, and Don Aslett’s foaming toilet bowl cleaner.

Off brand paper towels

Have always bought Bounty but they are getting to be high-priced, especially for the light-duty (hand drying, light spills) that most of mine get used for.

 

What are other people using?

I like Lidl's Ultra Strong. Their version of Bounty. And much cheaper too.

I keep it pretty simple microfiber cloths for almost everything, baking soda for scrubbing, and white vinegar for cutting grease or shining glass. Hydrogen peroxide is my go-to disinfectant because it’s odorless, and a little dish soap handles greasy messes. I also keep a good multi-surface spray for quick wipe-downs.
