Water and white vinegar work well on floors; so do vinegar and newspaper to clean windows; baking soda, vinegar, salt and boiling water do volcanic work in drains. Bon Ami brand cleaning powder is a relatively non-toxic commercial blend that also works well for scrubbing. When you start replacing and replenishing your home with natural, harmless cleaning products, be sure to read the labels and evaluate the ingredients in your cleaning products before buying them. To get an idea of how bad the ingredients in cleaning products are, EWG has 53 verified cleaning products (here), while its Skin Deep database has verified 2,088 (here).
ECOS has brought the green cleaning movement to nearly one million homes, thanks to its affordable natural cleaning products. I hope these brands and all natural cleaning products serve as an excellent beginner's guide to non-toxic household cleaning.
