I think those work well for cleaning. I hate using harsh chemical cleaners they are to toxic. I found simple green works great on white shirts. Loundry soap oxy clean and bleach did very little to clean white shirts. But simple green with a little oxy clean worked well. I think oxy clean is mostly baking soda but I could be wrong. I mostly use simple green to wash floors sink etc. A finish touch of Windex sometimes on hard surfaces. Screw all there toxic crap cleaners.
Simple green baking soda & hydrogen peroxide

It has taken me over 30 years working on my mom to get her to use vinegar. Recently, at the age of 78 years, she tried vinegar for cleaning (don't ask me why 
) any way, she only uses vinegar now. (Shakes head)
She would flush all sorts of chemicals down the drain...for over 30 years...forever.

Supposedly...they say...it kills a high percentage of bacteria and I have taught my daughter to clean with it, so I hope use of non-chemicals to disinfect her home will continue on and she will continue the teachings.

Interesting this other guy Chaz sells expensive shampoo oils on US tv and says regular vender shampoo is totally bad and damaging to hair. I will give soda a try since I can afford that LOL.

Soda is indeed magic.
Takes away spots better than the expensive, toxic stuff.

To get the really crap stains off... mold and soap scum, you can use 10% bleach, a couple teaspoons of baking soda and the rest water, and with a spray bottle soak the tub/shower and run the hell out of there.
Use this only in a well ventilated area.
Come back in 15 min and rinse, it will dissolve the majority of nasties, so there's way less scrubbing to do.

Be sure to "condition" with vinegar AFTER you wash. They are great for your hair/scalp. Mix both with water and pour over your head while you massage your scalp. Search for No Poo for more info.

I went no poo for a long time, washed only with baking soda, but it's inconvenient with long hair. I use the brown sugar variety of this kind at the moment: http://www.urtekram.com/products/body-ca...nic-250-ml
And very sparingly. I dilute it to about one part shampoo and 3 parts water. No conditioner other than mustard oil in wet hair.

Yeah, baking soda didn't work so well in the long run. I noticed my scalp started smelling wet dog when it rained.
