What are some "green" or environmentally friendly cleaning products for the house?

I’m sick of using bleach to mop the floors, and all those smelly antibacterial sprays for the kitchen, as well as the glass cleaners. I clean a lot, and I know the chemicals can’t be good for me or the environment. What else is there?

You can use diluted vinegar to clean mop your floors.. You can use diluted vinegar to clean glass/windows.

Baking soda you can use to freshen carpets just sprinkle liberally and leave overnight.. It takes away odors especially if you have pets… You can also use it in the cats litter box !

Baking soda is also EXCELLENT in you wash water of your laundry about a cup per load. It boosts detergent power so you can use LESS detergent. It also gets out stains/odors…

You can use BS as a scrub just mix with a bit of water to form a paste.

There’s a few cleaning lines from METHOD and CLOROX that are GREEN alternatives..

good luck
