For a long while I was using only baking soda and vinegar to clean but then I worried about it not disinfecting the toilet area (the only place that I really worry about disinfection.) I know that some people have used tea tree oil for disinfection but I have to admit that I don't enjoy the smell very much. Does anyone else worry about germies are the toilet, and if so what are you using?

I'm with Kris; I've cut all cleaning products down to soda and vinegar (and olive oil to polish wood). Works wonderfully and doesn't give me a headache!

I mix up baking soda with a little borax, and add a few drops of grapefruit essential oil. Yesterday I gave my kitchen sink & faucet a good scrubbing with it--when I was done, it was gleaming, and smelled so nice, too!
I keep it in a shaker jar so it's handy to sprinkle.

We have a septic system and we try to not use a bunch of chemicals to clean with I love the baking soda and vinegar I put a few drops of essential oil in the baking soda and it smells as good as it cleans!! I like the salt addition I'll have to try that on those stubborn stove stains!!

I'm going to try it on my shower doors. I used goo gone and that was great but my DH said it was to slippery. I think that day I used to much of it.
Have a nice day. |

That's all I use to clean with. Plus vinegar. It does a great job for me and no chemical smells and bad stuff in the air/

I mixed a little salt in with the soda for an extra scrubbing boost.

I like the soda for cleaning my sinks but do not like it for cleaning the toilet.

I would say it comes in a close second. It won't bleach like Comet or Ajax but it's amazing how well it works getting out stains or marks. And it's loads cheaper! I ran out of my usual Ajax several months ago and thought I'd give the soda a try and thought WOW! Why am I spending so much money on this other stuff? And for some reason I'm more apt to reach for it and clean the sink when it's not that dirty where as I'd wait until it was gross before I'd use the Ajax. I think it's because it's less irritating to my hands? I say go for it. You can always go back to the Comet if you don't like it.
