For hard surface cleaning, dilute to about 10 to 1. Make sure it's an economy brand with little to no lipase (fat breaking enzyme.)
The main ingredients in most commercial laundry brands are the sodium salts of alkylaryl sulfonic acid & polyether sulfuric acids.
Almost nobody is sensitive to those, and skin drying will be minimal with a very dilute solution.
