English term or phrase: multipurpose sink detergent
A text about stocking a cleaning caddy (restroom cleaner, floor cleaner, degreaser, glass & multi-surface cleaner AND multipurpose sink detergent). No further context on the use of the detergent. Is it something like "allesreiniger", or more like "gootsteenontstopper" or something? Google is not helping, as of yet. :)

Asker: Ja, maar natuurlijk! :) Dank je wel. Big help!

Asker: Ja, ik heb inderdaad universeel afwasmiddel gevonden. Dat is volgens mij de naam waaronder het wordt verkocht (vooral voor horeca).


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Kitty Brussaard: Met 'afwasmiddel' (en in dit geval: universeel afwasmiddel). 'Vaatwasmiddel' verwijst meestal naar tabletten etc. voor de vaatwasser, terwijl het hier specifiek lijkt te gaan om een middel voor de handafwas (en overige handmatige toepassingen).

  -> Dank je, Kitty - je hebt gelijk, vaatwasmiddel is eerder voor machinaal gebruik..
