so clean you could eat off it!

One of the things that we've purchased at the Currie Farmers Market (besides champagne mangos and the $9.45 bunch of asparagus that I picked up this week - eek) are a few natural cleaning products from Small Planet, a local company. We have the carpet deodorizer and two bottles of the Germs-Be-Gone disinfectant. My interest in chemical-free cleaning products piqued again when Madeline became mobile and I realized that she'd be mouthing a lot more than I'd been worrying about previously. 

I'm currently using a Seventh Generation bathroom cleaner for scrubbing the bathtub - I picked that one up sooner when Madelien outgrew the baby bathtub and I needed to keep the real tub a lot cleaner that I used to. It smells very nice and citrus-y, but I might try something else when that's used up.  The bathroom cleaner leaves a bit of an oily residue which I'm not overly fond of.

Anne, I have to admit that we still use chemicals for the actual toilet bowl. I've heard it suggested to use a pumice on stains, and then swish around baking soda or washing soda, though.

Baking soda makes a great scouring powder for the tub and white vinegar can be effective at removing soap scum (lots of elbow grease needed!). Borax (in the detergent aisle at the grocery store) is a natural disinfectant that works well in the toilet.

There is a book called Clean House, Clean Planet, that has great recipes and ideas for chemical free cleaning.
