We have found that green cleaning products add only a minimal amount of the health benefit to homes. Specifically, the processes in which the cleaning takes place offer an equivalent benefit. These processes include things like deeper cleaning of restrooms and door knobs.

Great article. Another great alternative to cleaning products is the “Ultimate Cloth”. It lets you clean all the solid surfaces in your house without chemical cleaners. You just use water. A lot of places have it online, so you all should read about it. The cheapest place to get it I have found is http://www.cheapultimatecloth.com

It is alarming the advertising ploys companies use to scare people into using their product – you mention Lysol. I love the comment: if you can’t pronounce it, don’t use it. This is definitely true. However, many products don’t list the ingredients on their labels. Look for companies that disclose their product ingredients and their business practices. http://www.soundearth.com

This is a good starter list but I’d like to add that everything goes better with Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap. I’ve found that a shot of that in an old windex spray bottle filled with half water and half vinegar is really wonderful for lifting grease, etc., off most surfaces. And if you need heavy-duty stain removal, http://www.gonzocorp.com makes good green cleaners and so does http://www.googone.com (for stickier messier stuff).

Great information. I’ve been researching making my own products for less, but like to know who to buy when I’m lazy.

This is a really helpful overview. I had never realized, until I read the book Green Goes With Everything how my cleaning choices were affecting not only the environment, but also my own health. The Body Burden quiz they offer on their site was a real eyeopener for me.
