Seventh Generation Cleaning Products?

[chely7425]

How does everyone feel about the Seventh Generation cleaning products? I want to stop buying Lysol and Clorox and harsh cleaners like that and was thinking these might be a good alternative?

I consider them better alternatives, but still don't buy most of them. I use their dishwashing stuff, but for house cleaning, disinfecting, etc. I prefer to stick with the much cheaper and healthier option of vinegar and baking soda.

How do you use vinegar and baking soda?

My basic recipe is about 1 qt or water, 1/2 cup vinegar, and 1/4 cup baking soda. I'll make that up in a bucket and use it to clean my bathroom or kitchen. I also have a half and half water and vinegar mixture in a spray bottle that I'll use to clean stuff up in between.

Hmm... maybe I will try that. Does the baking powder leave any kind of residue? For example, would you use the vinegar/water mixture from the spray bottle to clean the kitchen counters? bathroom sinks? bathtub/shower? what about mopping?
