Default planning ahead - liquids in winter

I really, really hate to ask this in the peak of summer, but I need to plan ahead this year.

For years, we have dutifully removed all liquids from our camp to heated winter storage. This is a huge effort in terms of the number of items off, and my brother and I started to ask "what would happen to some of these if we left them on and allowed to freeze...."

I have a general list of items/categories below. Any comments on any of them helpful. Interested in a) can you leave them to freeze (most are in plastic containers) and b) if they will survive the freeze/thaw cycles and still be good.

1) Kitchen: olive oil, vinager, veg oil, canned tuna in water, mustard. (note: most of these are open)
2) Cleaning supplies: windex, "Clearview" window cleaner, "PolyCare" wood floor cleaner, liquid dish and dishwasher soaps, liquid hand soaps, lysol toilet cleaner, lysol bath cleaner, swifter floor cleaner, liquid laundry detergent, bleach, "Shout" stain remover.
3) Alkaline batteries, nicad batteries (assume these need to come off, but asking anyway)
4) Latex paints, Wood stains (i.e. Cabots), woodglues,
5) gas, 2-cycle engine oil.
6) toothpaste, hairgel, shampoo, etc.

I would be putting these into tubs and into the main bathroom tub just in case, but it would at least save some work if we did not have to pull completely off island.

Thanks
