This $11 non-toxic 'magic' soap cleans everything – it's biodegradable, works great in hard water areas, and lasts for years

Large black and cream kitchen with vintage touches. Its cabinets have brass borders, and the large black extractor hood above the island is an eye-catching and unusual focal point that makes this kitchen feel very grand and 1920s salloon style.

One of the most tiring things about cleaning is remembering which products can be used where, what you need to avoid, and which have harsh chemicals that require careful use.

Then there's storing them all, which can prove a nightmare in small homes and apartments. That is why stumbling on an $11 multi-purpose soap – Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds from Target – that does practically everything from laundry to dishes to surfaces is such a game-changer.
