Mine is:

Soak all your baking trays and grill/oven components in Biological Washing Powder and boiling hot water for a couple of hours. It lifts all the grease off with no effort at all. Then use a scourer to lift the last stubborn bits off.

Don't bother buying loads of chemical cleaners, just use stardrops and invest in an E-cloth.

Please feel free to add...

Check discount food shops for screaming bargains and bulk buy if possible

I've stocked up on chewy cereal bars for DS's pack ups at a frozen food shop. Also got loads of mini babybels too.

white vinegar & water in a spray bottle & kitchen roll for windows and mirrors - no streaks. Plus for other general cleaning.

Oven cleaning: put a roasting tray of boiling water in the oven and turn oven on for 30 mins before cleaning - the steam loosens the grease.

Use 1/2 a lemon as a dishwasher de=oderizer. Pop it on one of the spikes in the top drawer

Make it smell fresh and makes the glasses sparkle
