Tide Free detergent for my grubby work clothes and shop rags. They
all get washed in a five gallon paint bucket at the end of the
weekend. My SO won't let them anywhere near her washing maching.

Vinegar for windows and interior hard surfaces.

Boraxo, hot water and a scrub brush for cleaning hands. This is
followed by a liberal application of Corn Huskers Lotion.

Amazing! for degreasing the engine & transmission. This is some stuff
that I got at the dollar store that is supposed to be some supper
cleaner stuff similar to Simple Green. I spray it on using a garden
sprayer and then go down to the diy carwash and rinse it off.

BTW. When I clean the engine, I clip a big plastic sheet to the
top of the rear hatch opening and the trailing edged of the access
hatch. I position the sheet so that I covers everything inside and
prevents the spray from getting on any of the interior. Works great.
