I'd say that you can use the washing up liquid 'Fairy' (Dawn?) for almost all cleaning related tasks.

An exception is getting rid of limescale, where you need an acid. Citric acid works fine and does not smell.

If you have a wooden floor, a specially made detergent with a wax component is probably also a good idea.

I also have a machine with a private git repo that I keep some shit in - mostly half made things like an dead ant stack simulator, a non-working robot simulator controlled by a un-evolved neural network, a few heuristic Sudoku solvers, a really advanced configuration-management tool that might have worked at one point, and 20 years of random junk like that.

It actually also contains a GPU based Smith-Waterman algorithm using Aparapi that I think actually works and could possibly be moved to github without too much embarrassment. Maybe I should do that...
