@alexis1,
I would rather suggest you non toxic very effective cleaning products. Some of these handy ingredients to have on hand for environmentally friendly cleaning include:
1. White Vinegar: a great non-toxic disinfectant, ideal for using around children and animals... or anywhere! Helps remove bathroom scum, tarnish and hard water stains.
2. Lemons: fresh smelling, disinfecting, deodorising and helps remove stains and inhibit mould.
3. Salt: scouring power, as well as disinfecting properties.
4.Borax: disinfects, deodorises, inhibits mould, dissolves grease and removes stains. Borax is toxic if eaten, however the toxicity dissipates quickly in the environment.
5.Washing Soda: consisting of sodium carbonate, this cuts through grease, removes stains and softens water.
6.Soap Flakes: a mild cleaning agent. Buy pre-made soap flakes, or grate your own from your favourite environmentally friendly bathroom or laundry soap. Pure soap has low toxicity, is biodegradable and unlike detergent, does not contribute to algal blooms in rivers.
7.Bicarbonate of Soda: also known as carb soda, bicarb and baking soda, this is great for absorbing odours, as well as giving a cleaning boosting fizz when mixed with liquids such as lemon and vinegar.
8. Dishwashing Liquid: this is usually a fairly mild cleaning fluid and useful for adding grease cutting power to some cleaners. Find an environmentally friendly one. In fact, dishwashing liquid can be used alone, if you wish, for many cleaning jobs.
9.Eucalyptus & Tea Tree Oils: natural disinfectants and useful for removing sticky residues. Not to be swallowed.
10.Lavender Oil: anti-bacterial and anti-mildew.
11.Essential Oils (if you want fragrance- omit if you have a fragrance allergy/sensitivity): wide range of delightful, natural fragrant oils available to give your cleaners, and your rooms, a lovely scent. A lot of these oils also help in the cleaning process itself, having disinfecting properties, among others.
