Tried and True

Here is a recipe for homemade
All Purpose Cleaner
It has been used by my grandma (a master cleaner) for a long time and I think it works great.
I have used it to clean counter tops, sinks, mirrors, floors, carpet, windows, walls and lots of other things. It has rubbing alcohol in it so it can be a disinfectant.

1 gallon minus 1 pint water
1 pint rubbing alcohol
1 Tablespoon ammonia (non suds)
1 teaspoon dish soap

You can mix all the ingredients in a gallon water jug then pour some in a spray bottle.
A little side note- based on experience- If you leave the mixture in a plastic jug, the ammonia will corrode the jug after awhile and make a big leaky mess on your shelf. A glass container would probably be better to put it in if you are going to store it.
Happy Cleaning.
