Can I replace household APC with Meguiar's?

[PPLd]

Can I use Meguiar's APC for household purposes, like kitchen cleaning etc.?
If yes, what's the dilution for common tasks of APC? If no, why not?
Regarding APC and APC+, which one is better for used at home?
Have anyone tried using Meguiar's APC at home?

I am thinking about buying Meguiar's APC. However the the product is only offered in gallon size which is way too much for me... If I can use Meguiar's APC at home then this will be better for me.

Thanks for the replies.

It is very common for people to use these two products throughout the house for all kinds of cleaning jobs. The primary difference between the two is the lowered foaming of APC+, making it the better choice when used in pressurized delivery systems or for carpet cleaning, etc. Diluting at 10:1 for most cleaning is usually sufficient, or up to as strong as 4:1 for tougher jobs. APC+ is a great pre-treatment for cleaning carpet stains: just last week I used it at home to treat some spots before running our carpet steam vac/extractor..... with APC+ mixed into the cleaning solution container! Worked beautifully, I might add.

I use APC around the house all the time as does my wife. It is, after all an "All Purpose Cleaner". We use it on everything that need cleaning. Wife uses it on appliances and the granite and sinks.

I have now put aside several products just for the wife so I don't have to go looking for them.
Quik Interior Detailer (D149)
Glass Cleaner Concentrate (D120),
APC (D101), and
X-Press Synthetic Spray Wax (D156).

These are all great products for general use around the house.

I've been using APC+ around the house for a while now. One thing it does beautifully at a 10:1 ratio is clean marks off of walls. I just mist a small amount on the mark and gently wipe with a damp cloth. Voila!
