on the news the other day it said that out of 100 natural cleaning products only 1 was fully natural. I am wandering if anyone knows what one that is or has found a green product that they love

It really depends on which products they decided to include in this particular study.

My guess would be that the one product included was Dr. Bronner's castille soap- as it's fully natural and more likely to be included in such a study than baking soda or vinegar. Or maybe baking soda isn't 100% natural, even though it's non toxic, so any product that includes it doesn't make the list?

I love homemade cleaning products personally. They are so cheap and vinegar in particular is great for everything. I don't worry about the kids getting into them either.

I just use vinegar and water, plus baking soda or salt if i need a little abrasive.

I don’t care for the smell of vinegar so I only use it on hardwood floors and in the bath tub (anything else is overkill for my gut)

I use mostly biokleen, Dr. B, and 7 Gen for laundry.

I do homemade cleaners too. Vinneager, baking soda, water, and once in a while I throw in a couple drops of some yummy smelling essential oils to cover the vinneager smell.

I wish that worked with me! I still use it, though its not a pleasant experience.

vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. baking soda too, what we use for "cleaners". For dishes and clothes: BioKleen, bathing and hand washing: bronners. That's all I need

Great article here about "how safe are green cleaning products". Worth a read if you need info

According to Dr. Mercola a list to make your own:
Baking soda
White vinegar
Lemon juice
Hydrogen peroxide
Liquid castile soap
Organic essential oils (optional)
Mixing bowls
Spray bottles
Micro fiber cloths
