Hey everyone!

Just wondering what kind of environmental friendly cleaning products you use around the house for floors, counters, etc? If not, do you know of any? Thanks!

Good to see you again Calirunner! I like to use microfiber cloths and also use things like baking soda and distilled vinegar - I also use Ecover products too. There are some great ideas here too

For cleaning I use vinegar, peroxide, baking soda, and vodka as much as possible.  I also don't use sponges or paper towels, but have those reusable cloths to use.
