Here is an idea of what I use to clean my house:
- Vinegar and water in equal ratio in spray bottle for washing windows, floors, refrigerator, sink etc.
- Vinegar and baking soda for scrubbing the tub, sink and any tough jobs on pots and pans
- H2O2 for cleaning fruits and veggies (if store bought), produce from my garden I wash with water. I also use H2O2 for spraying my toothbrush between uses and for some anti-bacterial cleaning.
- Tea Tree oil for anti-bacterial needs. A few drops in the vaporizer to kill air-borne molds and such.
- I pour about a 1/2 cup baking soda down each sink drain and follow with a 1/2 c. vinegar for deodorizing and clean drains.

- For washing dishes (we do not have a dishwasher) I use Country Save Liquid Dish Soap or Biokleen from Azure because I do not pay shipping with them since they have a drop site in my town. Check with them to see if you have drop points in your state. I have yet to make a successful batch of homemade dish soap with glycerin, but I hope to soon!
- For body wash, we use Life Tree Lavender Body Wash from Azure. I dilute about a 1/4 cup of soap in a foaming bottle and fill the rest of the bottle with water. Shake and use. I would also like to make my own body soap, but my hubby prefers a good bubbly body wash then a bar of soap.
- For toothpaste see: Homemade Coconut Oil Toothpaste.
