We were using Melaleuca for a little over a year and LOVED their products... but with the monthly commitment we just couldn't afford to spend $80 on cleaning supplies every month!! Thankfully thou that allowed us to stock-pile and for the last 6 months we haven't had to buy any cleaning stuff!!
We're almost out of dish soap so I'm trying to decide which brand(s) to go with... What do you use? do you like it? how's the smell?

I use 7th generation cleaner when it is on sale! But recently I started just using vinegar water on my counters when I know they don't need serious de-germing and I am happy with it. I want to make some cleaner but I need to get the stuff (lavender and tea tree oil) and in my small town I can't find both at a decent price so I'm waiting until we get out into the city.

I use Method and SEventh Gen.
Method's products work well and have a mild and pleasant scent!

Seventh Generation for dish soap (I usually get unscented). Dr. Bronners for hand soap (lavender or citrus orange), Sal Suds for floors/general cleaning (pine scent), "Alvin Corn" for glass cleaner, and vinegar and baking soda for mostly everything else!
I also have essential oils on hand for a bit of aromatherapy. In general I consider lack of smell a positive.

@chopsuey119: @Mrs. Sketchbook: do you like the scent of Seventh Gen? I thought it smelled funky

@Mrs. Pen: It kinda does 
It has been a while since I had any on hand but didn't it have a licorice-y type smell? Or like some sort of herb?

I use Costcos' eco dish soap or 7th generation. Otherwise I use baking soda & vinegar for cleaning

@Mrs. Sketchbook: that's why I stopped using it!! I like other seventh gen products. I use their dishwasher soap, pads/tampons and diapers!

I love Mrs.Meyers or J.R. Watkins cleaning products, i believe you can buy both at target or walmart.

We use method and I love the scents. The glass cleaner has mint in it, I like it on everything!

I use the entire honest line since I subscribe. The dishwasher liquid is terrible but the dish soap is good! I also like the counter spray a lot.

@T-Mom: good to know! I buy the diapers but haven't tried the household essentials line

@T-Mom: their dishwater detergent IS terrible. It was the first house product I bought and it discouraged me from buying any others...what ones do you like?

@luckypenny: oh me too... But the counter spray, veggie spray, detergent, dryer sheets, stain spray, hand soap, are all pretty good. We also use the body wash for the kids. I'm happy overall with the options and my subscription!

@T-Mom: oh thanks! I was looking into veggie spray and counter spray
