  I use vinegar and water for most things now.  I know some people use hydrogen peroxide and water mix for bathrooms.  Baking soda is a good "scrubber".  I also have shaklee products my MIL got us...they also last forever and work well.

  I use vinegar a lot.  I also use Seventh Generation.  You can google homemade cleaning products and you can get some recipes.

  I use a 50/50 vinegar/water mix for most 'spray and wipe' type cleaning. It works really well on mirrors and windows. I use it for bathroom and kitchen cleaning, too. You can also save money by not using paper towels and using microfiber cloths instead. I also use vinegar as my fabric softener now. That's a huge price difference and it's better for our clothing/towels, etc.

  I also use mostly 50/50 vinegar water solution for bathrooms, wiping down kitchen counters and my DS toys. I love using a mixture of salt and baking soda on my tub and shower then rinse with boiling water...never seen such a sparkling tub! Sometimes I use 7th generation. Vinegar on my windows and mirrors wiping it down with newspaper works really well too! You'll save a bundle if you make your own. The only thing I can't seem to get down is the fabric softner, I use vinegar in the FS compartment but my clothes are always full of static.

  I like experimenting with essential oils in my natural cleaners. Lavender and Tea Tree Oil both have some wonderful antibacterial/antifungal properties. I also use a lot of vinegar, lemon juice, and baking soda. I've also heard good things about Borax and Washing Soda.
