It depends on what kind of weed you want to kill. And if there is anything else in the garden around it, because most home-based weed killers are non-specific and will kill everything within range.
However:
If you put salty water on a weed, it will die. If you put lemon juice, vinegar or any other acid, on a weed, it will die. If you put hot water on a weed, it will die. If you put bleach on a weed, it will die.
These weed killers work best on weeds that are in a confined space, like between the bricks in a driveway, or the segments in pavement.
While bleach is effective, soap will act as fertilizer and stimulate your weed into bigger and better production, so dont use it as a substitute.
Dishwasher detergent might work, as it's a different chemical base than laundry soap.
Good luck with the pesky little blighters.
Hope one of these will solve your problem.
