safe cleaning products

Can anyone recommend any safe cleaning products for the home. I usually use strong chemical smelling products that I know can’t be good for my family. Any home remedies for cleaning the bathroom?

  • For mopping floors I only use vinegar. I usually boil a big pot of water (because I’m a clean freak) & mix in vinegar. For scrubbing bathrooms I use baking soda. And for kitchen I either use a spray bottle with grape fruit seed oil & water or I use a store bought eco friendly cleaner mixed with water. I’ll also occasionally sprinkle baking soda on my carpets before vacuuming.

  • thanks everyone for the great tips. I think I will try the baking soda and also the spray bottle with some type of herbs.. good idea! I have heard about seventh generation but for now I am on a tight budget…I stay at home with my daughter so we basically live pay check to pay check for now!!

  • wow mtnflwr those are some really good tips..I am going to write them down. Any suggestions on an alternative laundary detergent and dishwasher soap?? thanks

    Homemade Laundry Soap

    1/3 bar Fels Naptha or other type of soap, as listed above

  • For your dishwasher put a TBS washing soda and TBS Borax. In your rinse dispenser fill with vinegar every couple of runs. I mix 2 cups of each and store it so I dont have to mix every time.
