Help me build my shopping list?
I have been slowly converting our home to be as green as possible. We have all energy efficient appliances, have wrapped my hot water heater with an insulated wrap thing, use energy efficient light bulbs, unplug everything we're not using, etc.
I am getting rid of all my chemical cleaners. I have a shark steam mop that I love, and it has taught me that you really don't need harsh chemicals to really get clean.
So, I am going shopping to make green cleaners, What do I need to get besides vinegar and baking soda? I'd like to make my own laundry detergent and dish washer soap too, and maybe even shampoo and conditioner.

Tired after a long morning of hiking and swimming.
We basically just use vinegar for 90% of things. Occasionally a little dishsoap. Occasionally some baking soda if I need to scrub something. I don't mess with anything else- I was looking to simplify not have to be mixing up a bunch of different potions.
That is just for cleaning though- I don't make shampoo or laundry soap or anything. When I run out of my current laundry soap I might look into it, but on the other hand that might just put DH over the edge
