I am looking for a good cleaner. The cleaner needs to be able to cut through grease and can also be used for cleaning counter tops and the stove door and top. Something concentrated would be nice, that way I don't need to wait forever to wipe the surface clean. Store cleaners never really do what they say.

Mix bleach with baking soda and peroxide. let it sit and use it. It will boil through anything. Use a scrubie with it.

For degreasing surfaces, I prefer to use Dawn dish detergent. You can even pre-mix some, as strong as you like, in a spray bottle for handy use.
Fantastic, and Formula 409 are also good cleaners. I've also found that when it comes to cleaning ink or marker off of surfaces, one or the other of these two will take off most inks. Usually whatever one will not clean off, the other will.
When it comes to cleaning coffee pots, tea pots and such, where the drink has stained the surface, then a mixture of white vinegar and water (half and half) works very well.
For sanitizing a surface, I still prefer to use Lysol. Buy it in the bottle and you can also put it in a spray bottle for handy use. Another alternative is a half and half mix of bleach and water, which is also good for killing mold/mildew.
If you want to get really creative, there are a number of uses for Coca-cola, such as cleaning your toilet...just do a search on it and you'll turn up several.
Have Fun

You can try using some Dawn dish soap that cuts through grease for your counter tops and stove and for glass surfaces you can use Windex that has vinegar already in it or water diluted with some white non-distilled vinegar which works great for non-streaking and hard water deposits. Or you can try some cleaners I found online below. Hope this helps.

I swear by Dollar General brand of window cleaner. It comes in a spray bottle & works great on glass, counter tops, appliances, stains, etc. I use it in very room, even the bathroom for sink & tub cleaning. The bottle only costs $1 & you can get the big refill bottle for $1 also. I also use Dawn dish soap straight while cleaning around the house. I also wash my white shoelaces with Dawn, as well as using it on my leather sneakers.

DAWN Dish Soap is the best on grease

The best cleaner I know is bakingsoda,just add water and this will clean almost anything with a good quality non-abrasive scouring pad or cloth.
Also vinegar and water with a good quality non-abrasive scouring pad or cloth.
[NOTE]baking soda and vingar will react and bubble when in contact.This is why it is the best carpet stain cleaner I know.
I stand by these as cleaners , dissinfectants ,as well as odour absorbers and odour neutralizers.

Well, alot of people swear by vinegar and water but I keep trying them all and use whatever works since all the crap in the stores, it is all mostly the same. Even the stuff in the dollar store.
