all purpose cleaner?

[redhen]

I'm starting to get back into using natural cleaners (I don't knwo what happened). I just ran out of the Method all purpose (mmmm grapefruit!) cleaner that has been my favorite and I wanted to mix up a new solution. Someone borrowed my copy of clean house clean planet and isn't giving it back.

sooo, what would be a good all purpose mix? I would mostly use it for spraying down my kitchen counters & stove & sink for after dinner cleanup.

I love to use baking soda and/or vinegar for most things. Although to clean glass I use water and a few drops of dishliquid, I saw a program where a professional window cleaner said that was the best.
I make my mop water w/baking soda, vinegar and dish soap...I have sparkley streak free hardwoods!

I had discussed some of my green cleaning staples and also link to my favorite all-purpose cleaning recipe on this blog post. HTH!

I love Earth Friendly Orange Plus. It gets all the stuck on stuff off the stove.

Yup, all that.

Good Luck,

I have a spray bottle filled with water and a generous squirt of Dr. Bronner's (lavender) under my sink. I just have to invert the bottle a few times to mix it back up each time I use it, but it works great on counters, the kitchen table, etc.

I have different formulas I use. Usually a 4 ounce spray bottle filled with vinegar (no water) and some dishwashing detergent (tsp) then I add eo's. Sweet orange oil is really good, lemon if you have it, and sometimes tea tree oil. It works great!
HTH!

I like to have something to clean the countertops with that smells good so we sometimes spray it down (after using a vinegar solution) with Earth Friendly Products Parsley Kleener. LOVE IT. It smells soooo good. It seems to be hard to find though, especially around here, but I have had luck finding it online (even Amazon has it).

I just mix 50/50 vinegar with water and it does the trick - but most often I just use plain hot water. A paste of baking soda is good for stains. I don't think using baking soda and vinegar together would be effective since one is alkaline and one is acid so they would cancle each other out.
