I have a niece who is allergic to everything, including household cleaners! Does anyone know any natural ones?

Question

Patricularly to clean mould out of showers, to use on floors.. to clean everything! Any ideas?

Answer 1

Target has a brand of chemical free cleaners that are safe, I just can't remember the name off the top of my head right now.

Now I remember, it is called 'Method'. They make household cleaning products and soaps.

Answer 2

Murphy's Oil Soap. I use it all the time, and for just about anything. Once, I was using an old, dirty wash cloth to wash my car, using Murphy's. By the time I got done washing the car, the wash cloth was clean and bright as new.
It dissolves and cleans grease from carpets. It foams up too much to use in an automatic clothes washer. You do not have to rinse after washing with it. I never tried it in the shower, however.

Answer 3

Try this website, i saw the lady that made this on a morning show about 3 monthes ago. It's bidegradable,NO solvents, NO VOCs (volatile organic compounds), NO toxins, NO alcohol, NO ammonia, NO harmful oxygen-based bleach cleaners, and NO citrus-based products which may dissolve rubber or plastics. Holy Cow Products are biodegradable and non-hazardous, so they're safe for you and your family as well as for the environment.

Answer 4

I would have to say vinegar... There is a book that has a lot of common household solutions for a lot of things. I believe it is the Complete Idiot's Guide to Household Solutions... I am not 100%. My mom has it and we've used it for so many things. I am sure there would be something in there.

Ingredients:
A clean 16 ounce flip-top bottle
1 2/3 cups baking soda
1/2 cup of liquid soap
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons vinegar

Instructions:
Mix baking soda and liquid soap in a bowl. Dilute with the water and add the vinegar last. Stir until the lumps are gone. If you can pour it into the container easily you have the right consistency. If it's too thick, add more water. Use funnel to pour into bottle. Keep the cap on bottle because this mixture will dry out. Shake well before using. For future uses, add more water if cleaner seems dry.
