If you havr some good quality soap, distilled vinegar and baking soda, you can make all the household cleaners that you need.

As the F-N soap they use in the recipe is a petrochemical, I would recommend instead Dr. Bronner’s Hemp oil soap bar.

For the other cleaners, there's this site:

Here is a link that tells you how to mix your own natural cleaners. http://home.discovery.com/fansites/livingfresh/naturalcle...
There is nothing that you can't clean with Vinegar, Baking Soda or Borax. And it's a fraction of the cost of brand name natural cleaners!

I really like using Borax (Whole Foods, Kroger, Walmart- in the laundry section) and lemonshine (in the dish washer section, just add a tad to the borax and water for a fresh scent and clean.)

I also use vinegar and if I want a fizz I add baking soda to it. This is really nice for cleaning the faucets and sinks and tub, if you don't mind the vinegar smell.

My sister comes and re-cleans my bathroom with chemicals if I use vinegar. heh

My favorite natural cleaner is my window cleaner.

1 c rubbing alcohol
1 c water
1 T vinegar

Mix in a squirt bottle and use. It takes a tad bit more wiping to dry, but it works great and doesn't have anything bad in it.

All Purpose cleaner (Like 409 or Fantastic):

16 oz trigger spray bottle
2 Tablespoons distilled vinegar
1 teaspoon of borax
water (if you have hard water, use distilled)
1/8 of a cup mild liquid dish soap (ivory, palmolive..)

Mix the vinegar and borax with 1 cup of hot water until dissolved. Let the mixture cool and then poor into spray bottle. Add enough water to the bottle leaving enough water to add the dish soap. Add the liquid soap. This costs around $0.40 per bottle versus the $3-$4 store bought.

Window CLeaner (Windex)

Another trigger spray bottle.....and fill bottle with club soda and wala! You can wipe the mirror/window with a wadden up newspaper for streak free cleaning. This costs $0.99 and fills the bottle 4-5 times!

*If you want to scent your cleaners, you can pick up your favorit essential oil and use 15-20 drops into the bottles. (lemon,orange or pine scent) I LOVE grapefruit oil smell.....ahhhhh.
