I'd love to find some new products to keep my bathroom clean. I strolled around Target yesterday but didn't see much.
What are your favorite non-toxic cleaners, especially for toilets and tub/shower?
-
@catlady: the bathroom is the one room I can't stay away with bleach and Lysol wipes! It's so gross!
-
Method toilet bowl cleaner I use as in between scrubbings because it really helps with our hard water ring.
-
my favorite thing for the bathroom is vinegar+dawn.
so great on the tub to remove scum, I am not scared of washing my tub anymore. I actually do it multiple times a week... it's magic. Vinegar, baking soda for the toilet. -
@bakingdoodle: Oh wow, we already have vinegar + dawn mixed up because it kills the little weeds that grow on our patio. Never knew it could work on tubs too!
-
Vinegar. White distilled vinegar. Mix it with water and some lemon juice and it smells less, well, vinegary. But it's as nontoxic a cleaner as you can get.
-
@bakingdoodle: Can you elaborate! I hate washing my tub!
-
Sometimes I'll take a half of a lemon and use it to scrub baking soda into my kitchen sink, which I assume would also work in a bathtub or bathroom sink.
I like microfiber cleaning cloths, with a little elbow grease, they clean nicely.

@snowjewelz:
I started with this recipe
http://www.familysavvy.com/savvy-cleaning-tip-dawn-vinegar-for-sparkling-shower-doors/
But decided that I don't need as much dawn. I don't even heat up the vinegar but I am sure it would dissolve better. I put about 1/3 dawn : 1 ratio vinegar. LOVE it. My sister converted her cleaning lady to it.... -
Norwex envirocloths. They are imbedded with silver
-
@bakingdoodle: Do you have to scrub it with a sponge? Or just coat and wash off?
-
@snowjewelz: I spray the mixture. Wait 5 min (cleaning the countertop and etc...) and then use a facecloth. I wouldn't use a sponge: I don't think it has enough 'ridges'. You don't have to scrub hard. Then rinse.
-
Vinegar for most cleaning, and we also use Seventh Generation toilet bowl cleaner and sometimes their tub & tile spray cleaner.

I thought the experiments this woman did with commercial and alternative cleaners was really eye opening - http://www.stopthestomachflu.com/Home/which-cleaning-products-kill-germs-the-best

I love mr clean magic erasers (I'm pretty sure they are non-toxic) especially for tubs and showers...gets soap scum off anything and really love it for shower doors!
-
@ShootingStar: Wow, this site is crazy! Thanks for sharing.
-
@ShottingStar: eye opening website. She did what I would have like to test things with petri and all. I'll have to buy some hydrogen peroxide but I still like my dawn+vinegar for soap scum. I like magic erasers but it's more elbow grease for the tub... and i don't find them as green. (i buy the generic from ebay but they are not as good as the mr.clean ones)
@anonysquire: I bought one Norwex enviro cloth. I liked it until I had to wash it. supposedly sanitize in hot boiling water? I couldn't remember the instructions... so I keep washing it in the washer... and drying it. i probably destroy it?
I bought some ecloths also. -
MRs. MEyers.

I like Bon Ami for scrubbing. I use it for the tub, sinks, and toilets.
