Do you clean with chemicals or natural products?

My mom swears by Murphy's Oil Soap. I don't really have any wood that deserves or needs that kind of care. I'm still in the "lucky if it's even real wood" stage of my life! lol

I agree. I love to know that I'm making a difference in our environment, even if I'm not a tree hugger that goes gung ho. At least some effort to dismiss chemicals in our life is a start.

Some tend to work better, some work about the same. Once in a while you might have something really tough that only chemicals will work with. But for the most part, vinegar for windows and glass (mixed with water) works wonders and actually works better than any glass cleaner I've tried. 1 Cup of vinegar to a load of laundry helps lift stains and also softens clothes. It also keeps clothes from fading into each other. Vinegar also disinfects so can be used as an all purpose wipe, say perhaps for your counters, etc. The METHOD products all have added all natural scents. They're not much more than the cheapest brands and they smell soooo wonderful. Plus, if you sign up on their website they send you coupons in the mail and lots of other little 'items' including sets of sample sized products with their own microcloth to use with it! I've received a tshirt from them, coupons, tons of samples, a gift box with samples and microcloth for all 4 products sent and even a Christmas card! They're a small company but very customer oriented!

Wegmans is a grocery store, located in New York and Pennsylvania that I know of. It might be in other states, but they originated in Rochester, NY. Go to their website, http://www.methodhome.com and see if they have a listing where you can buy their stuff. You can purchase online too. If not, check out some alternative cleaning products, such as vinegar. Just do a search on non-chemical cleaning. I wish I could remember the one site I used to use all the time that listed soooooo many things you can use instead of the cleaning chemicals.
