What are some good, non-toxic solutions/recipes for cleaning products?

Question

I have a 4 month old baby and I'm looking for effective yet non-toxic methods of cleaning my house, esp. floors for when she starts really moving around.

Sorry, my floors are vinyl throughout, except the kitchen which is granite, and the bathrooms are marble. (I live in a strange apartment.)

Answer 1

Baking soda for scouring
vinegar for windows and general cleaning

Answer 2

I use lysol disinfectant cleaner on my floor.. I just give the floors and extra rinse with warm water and I dry it with a microfiber dust mop when I'm done... That gets any residue off the surface.. I mop at least once a day...In my bathroom(s) and kitchen.... Good luck.

Answer 3

What are your floors made of?
Most tiles you can clean with simply hot water after sweeping or vacuuming for extra clean add 2 tablespoons of ammonia. Not non-toxic, but very mild.
Vinyl floors same with hot water or add 1 tbs of borax for extra clean again not non-toxic but mild and easy.

Answer 5

Bleach, mixed in water. 4-5 to 1, water to laundry bleach.

You can mop, spray, wipe, etc, onto any non porous surface. It will clean, and disinfect.

For porous surfaces, like bare wood, carpet, upholstery, curtains, etc..., Use regular cleaning, vaccuming, etc..., to get rid of dust, and the mites that inhabit the dust.
