Microfibre cloths and water
Instead of all-purpose spray, bought again every month
~$16 for a pack that lasts years
Most surface cleaning is mechanical. The spray was doing less than the wiping was.
A microfibre cloth lifts dust and film by trapping it in split fibres rather than by dissolving it, so water is enough for most of what a spray gets used on. One pack outlives a great many bottles, and it removes a running cost rather than lowering it.
The cloth has to be clean or it smears, which means washing it without fabric softener, since softener coats the fibres and stops them gripping. It does not disinfect, and it is poor on grease, where a detergent still earns its place.

Some of these are Amazon affiliate links, and buying through one earns Yojo Dojo a small commission at no extra cost to you. Where a maker sells direct, the link goes there instead and usually pays less. Prices are rough, not live, and nothing on this page paid to be here.
