All my cleaning products come from Melaleuca. Aside from being
environmental products, and very effective, they all come in a
concentrated form so that there is less weight to ship. You buy a bottle
of cleaner and a get a reusable spray bottle for that product and dilute
as per directions. As an example, the Tough & Tender cleaner for
counters, stove tops etc costs about twice per jug as much as a name
brand products but is diluted about 4 to 1, so it is actually about half
the price. Their dish washer detergent costs about half as much as name
brands but you only use 1/4 the amount, so it is cheaper... and it does
a great job even with out hard water.
