1. A good thing to use is actually vinegar. put a cup or so in a bucket of water and you can use is to wash the floors wipe benches, glass or even mirrors.
2. baking soda is a base, of a lot of commercial solutions, so buy white vinegar, ammonia , baking soda, and look for home remedies online, it's cheap , and safe
3. My favorite.......... 1/3 water, 1/3 91% Alcohol and 1/3 Distilled white vinegar in a squirt bottle will clean anything from windows to walls.... I use this because my son has asthma and he cannot handle the foo foo smells in cleaning products. Happy Cleaning!!!!
4. Dish soap is an excellent cleaner for a lot of things in the house, like floors, toilets, sink-tub-shower, walls, doors and trim. Mix with water as you would to wash dishes. You can even use it for windows.
5. Vinegar, baking soda
