Many people put some all-purpose cleaner on a sponge, clean and rinse. Instead, get a spray bottle and premix cleaner with the right amount of water. When cleaning, just spray and clean. You can do a long time with a spray bottle. It’s a small tip, but it will save a lot of cleaner.
Edited to clarify
Would you please go further into detail of what you’re talking about? Are you talking about cleaning dishware? Surfaces? I’m saying this because in many contexts, this would be worse advice for sanitation.
For example, if you dilute a cleaning agent too much, not only would it be less effective, but it might even become susceptible to contamination. Things you think you’re cleaning could actually get worse.
There’s also a difference with mechanical action from scrubbing. Many substances stuck to a surface won’t come off with just water pressure. Scrubbing them away with a sponge would be necessary.
Sure, i was talking about cleaning surfaces. You dilute it according to what it says on the bottle, i never said to dilute it more than what is adviced. And i’m not saying to stop scrubbing, i combine it with scrubbing; i spray it on a surface, scrub and wipe the surface.
I heard a lot of people just put cleaner on a sponge. Not only you then use too much cleaner (and need to rinse it to get it off again), but it costs a lot more in the long run.
Thank you for clarifying, I appreciate it.
