Default Generic cleaning products

Does anyone else use generic cleaning products? With the exception of dish soap we use store brand or Dollar General brand everything, and it all works just as good or better as the big brand names.

Oh, yes we use generic everything except for toilet paper. A lot of the generic stuff seems to do a better job even if you use less of the product.

I use generic cleaning products. I can think of very few that I will go name brand on. There is one exception I guess, and that is dish liquid. However, there is a dollar store here that gets name brand stuff and sells it for $1.00 so that's not bad.

The only generic cleaning product I buy is window cleaner. Oh, and paper towels, if that counts. I am pretty brand picky when it comes to the other stuff.

I don't usually use generic cleaning products. I have tried a lot of them and I don't think they work as well. I use a lot of Fuller Brush products (super strength). I also use Clorox, Mr. Clean, Dawn, and Tide.

I've been trying to use more generics but I'm still snobby about name brands. I do like the toilet bowl cleaner and there's a bathroom cleaner that works well on hard water.

As long as they clean the same, I don't care what name is on the package. I just buy the cheapest that I've found will work the same. Dish soap is one of the only things I still buy by brand name and I buy Ajax dish washing soap in Red Grapefruit scent.

I use store bought, or generic, depending on what I have tried in the past and liked or hated. A lot of the generics do really well, like bleach. But, some of the other cleaners, I like Lysol and Febreze. Especially Febreze - there is not really anything else like it!
