Answer 1

Definitely using natural products as cleaning aggents work.  I buy all natural products from this online/catalog company.  Prices are very reasonable, either comparable to name brand or cheaper than store bought cleaners.  Plus you can get some great discounts for being a preffered customer and even get free products.  They have mroe than just cleaning products also, they have bath and body items, candles, vitamins and stuff like that.  The company also using recycable products for their packaging and paper materials.  It's a really great company, if you tell others about it and they become preffered customers you get a check form the company for telling that person about the products, now that's a great thing, these other companies out there don't give you money back for getting your friends and family to buy their products.   You should check it out, www.melaleuca.com.  If your interested in joining email me and I can help you get signed up, [e-mail]

Vinegar is a great cleaner, and cleans up grease really well. Also, clorox came out with a green cleaner, its only a bit over $2 a bottle, and you can dilute it and clean just about everything with it.

Another great way to disinfect is to fill up a bottle with warm water and put a few drops of tea tree oil or lavender oil in it.

Also, borax or baking soda works as a great scouring powder.

If Earth is natural, then even agent orange is natural. but I wouldn't recommend using that to clean your kitchen :)

Answer 4

Yes!!  You can clean almost anything with chemical free, natural products. For instance, to clean the inside of a stove, micowave, food-stuck-on pot, etc, cut 1/2 lemon put in water and turn on the heat (1-2 min micro). It helps to loosen food oil etc. The oil from grated Lemon peel is great on wood. I heat the peel for about 30 seconds in the micro, put them in a mismatched gym sock, give it a squeeze, and polish away. The oil from orange peels remove wax, crayon marks, stove grease, sticker labels etc.  My family has used Vinegar and newspaper to clean anything glass for generations. Baking soda is good for cleaning the sinks, tubs, dishes (gets glasses to sparkle), freshens laundry, and even ourselves! It's great anywhere to remove stale smells and moisture. Also, there are "natural" products like Mrs. Meyers you can use to clean with that aren't harsh or abrasive. I get it at Whole Foods.  I used to clean homes in college for many families who were allergic to everything.  These tips come from my good ol' days!  Happy cleaning!

Answer 6

Yes!! Most definitely! A mix of vinegar and water will do the trick, but if you want to buy something a bit stronger, try products from "Seventh Generation" "Shaklee" or "Method". And these are just a few. And also, major brand-name companies such as Clorox are introducing an organic line of their products. There are so many options, there is no reason that you should fill your house and your lungs with toxic cleaners!!
