After (or before) becoming a parent, did you start using green cleaning products?

When I got pg, I started using some green products to clean the counters and bathroom, but I'm wondering if there are some better ones out there (I really would like a great green bathroom cleaner for the tub and tiles).

Any recommendations on great green cleaning products for the home?

We use either method or 7th generation.

I use a steam mop (I think it's a Shark) on my hardwoods, rather than using any chemicals

It is really inexpensive and easy to make your own green products. There are a ton of recipes on line, and books about it as well.

I use diluted vinegar to clean pretty much everything,... works wonders!

I use mostly green cleaners. The ONE thing I still have to use regular cleaners is my bathroom. I use a cleaner with bleach because that is all that works IMO

I use most the same stuff, just clean less often since I don't seem to have that much time anyway. Chat Icon Chat Icon

I use Bon Ami on the tub DS bathes in. I felt like I still needed something abrasive to really get the tub clean and it seems less harsh than the other stuff out there.

I'm glad this question was asked. I want to start using green products but my only concern is whether they actually disinfect as well as regular cleaning products.

That's a good question Lisa!

I've used Method products, but didn't really like their bathtub cleaner very much. Maybe I'll try 7th Generation next.

I use the GreenWorks spray for the kitchen and love that. I will sometimes use it for the bathroom sink too.
