Concentrates are the way. I get my handwash in powder form. Half a kilogram makes 10 liters of very good liquid handwash. Same for floor cleaner, I just buy pine oil with some additives. A single 1L bottle makes 40-60L of very good floor cleaner, all biodegradable. Buy shampoo concentrate/base, dilute 3x to make very good, sulfate-free shampoo. And it saves just ridiculous amounts of money.

    Do you have any guides or resources you use for getting started with them?

    This works for fruit juices, too. Even most 'real' juices are created from fruit concentrates. You can just cut out the middleman and get the concentrates directly. Even including the sugar/invert sugar you gotta put in, it costs less than half as much. And you control the amount of sugar you want. I use them extensively.

    My absolute favorite is Sal’s suds. Bought a gallon well over a year ago and I use it as my everyday spray cleaner, laundry detergent, and dish soap. All at different concentrations. Only 1/3 done with the gallon!

    The only downside is that it solidifies somewhat in the cold. I think the everyday spray is diluted enough that it doesn’t
