all-purpose
Fits any need
All-purpose describes something designed to serve many functions or suit various needs: all-purpose flour, an all-purpose cleaner, all-purpose shoes.
The term often appears in product names to suggest versatility, though it may simply mean adequate for common uses rather than optimal for any particular one.
