Glad to hear you are cleaning up a storm. Nothing like a move to give you lots of new things to clean. I will think of you as I spray white vinegar all over my house. As for you, Jim Z, you are Mr. Clean. Thank you, April. Glad to hear you are cleaning up a storm. Nothing like a move to give you lots of new things to clean.

I know that the common substances you mentioned are said to make good, more eco-friendly cleaners. Personally, I am currently expanding my use of vinegar (and decreasing my use of conventional cleaners) and will look into these other substances once I have incorporated more vinegar uses into my 'cleaning repertoire!'

I read somewhere that there are a small number of non-toxic ingredients that alone or in combination can clean anything: white vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, club soda, rubbing alcohol, borax, hydrogen peroxide, sodium carbonate, salt, glycerin, flour. These things, purchased and used in the quantities actually needed for cleaning, are a fraction of the cost of commercial products (and not as toxic). I once removed decades-old deep stains in a porcelain claw-foot tub with vinegar and baking soda. Came off almost instantly, after nothing else worked.
