Share your homemade cleaner "recipes" please

I want to start getting rid of all our harsh chemical cleaners.  We have two dogs and I hate using those chemicals on things when there is a safer and cheaper option out there.  I already use plain water and a rag to wipe down a lot of things (the floor, counters, etc). 

What are your recipes for making an all purpose cleaner and a cleaner for the bathroom?  Any good links or blogs I can look in?  I love the drain cleaning post below and definitely can't wait to try that!

  • I made a few batches today:

    Air Freshener (in replace of febreeze/similar):

    32 oz spray bottle + 1/2 of a cup of baking soda + 20 oz of witch hazel + 10 oz of water + 40 drops of lavender essential oil 

    Multi-Purpose Spray

    option 1) 32 oz spray bottle + 32 oz of water + 40-60 drops of grapefruit seed extract + 5-10 drops of essential oil scent like lemon or orange (just enough to give a clean scent)

    option 2) 32 oz spray bottle + 20 oz of water + 12 oz of vinegar +  20-40 drops of bergamot essential oil

    option 3) 32 oz spray bottle + 16 oz vinegar +16 oz hydrogen peroxide
