I’m a big fan of dishwashing liquid. Many of the cleaning products that are sold are caustic rubbish that are completely unnecessary, for example for cleaning showers. Professional cleaners often just use dishwashing liquid to clean showers, and nothing else, including for the glass, tiles and grout. Also if you have blocked drains, get rid of the caustic products (which are terrible for sewer treatment plants too), and instead squirt some dishwashing liquid down the drain, add some hot water and then plunge. Repeat until the drain is clear. Most stubborn stains and blockages are just fats, and dishwashing liquid is designed to dissolve fats. It also means you don’t need Windex-type products for the glass either, dishwashing liquid is designed to dry with no visible residue. Just rinse with water - done.
