Today, as an old guy, I was cleaning our glass top stove. The Weiman cleaner is in the cupboard above the stove. I squirted a bunch on the dirty rings and then realized its normally white not blue paste.
Turns out I grabbed the Cascade Complete dishwasher liquid. Duh.
I started to wipe it and realized it was pulling off the baked on food better than the stove cleaning product.
Best it has looked in 5 years.
P.s. made sure to fully rinse all of it off so no residue remained.
I would presume that powdered dishwasher detergent is as concentrated as you can get?
Its really true wasteful really that most household cleaning products is mostly water. Instead you could buy a years worth in concentrated form and dilute with tap water instead of ship around shit tons of water adding to the carbon footprint.
I have narrowed down my cleaning repertoire to strong hand dishing soap, baking soda, white vinegar, linseed oil soap (for the wooden floor) Depending on the application I just mix the appropriate things
The problem lies in how dangerous some of the chemicals get when you concentrate them past a certain amount. A lot of people would end up getting pretty seriously hurt trying to dilute pure acids or blow something up improperly storing concentrated peroxide. Don’t get me wrong, capitalism is what has led to dish soaps being barely more than water these days, but you can buy the concentrated versions of a lot of stuff and see for yourself how dangerous even having some of them laying around can be.
