Today I experimented with vinegar. Apparently (so I was told) vinegar is just as good to use for cleaning as bleach. In fact it is better because it kills bacteria and also is environment friendly.
I decided the best way to find out of it's cleaning properties is to actually try it. Once I ran out of bleach I bought two bottles of vinegar instead, and today was the first time that I used vinegar for washing floors.
It isn't complicated a bit of vinegar and lots of hot water mixed together in a bucket, now grab the mop and check it out.
So I did.
An hour later the floor in my house is spotless, all the dirt that I could see that was not sweep-able was washed off. No awful smell of bleach instead my house smells of acidy vinegar, nothing that a couple of incense sticks couldn't fix...
Dogs didn't seem to be bothered (they can't stand the bleach) and the only one to complain was my husband due to the smell.
I am now officially converting. Vinegar is cheaper, healthier for me and my environment, and it cleans good.
Overall rating is 10/10.
Vinegar wins!
Now it is your turn to check it out!
I must admit I wanted to do it for ages, and the only reason I didn't do this any sooner was because my cupboards were full of the easy to use environment unfriendly stuff, I waited until I ran out and purchased stuff to make my own cleaning products... Next week I think I might be trying to make my own all purpose cleaner. We'll see.

That's great that you switched. Much healthier for the environment, the pups, and you! :)
It definitely is, I enjoy the fact that I use something that is beneficial to me, environment and my babies (furry, four legged, but still my babies!)...
Try lemon juice (you can buy buy big bottles of lemon juice - over here it is called Realemon).
It does a good job deodorizing and is not as stinky as vinegar.
That sounds really good, I will try looking for some lemon juice and test it ASAP :)
what's the recipe for the all purpose cleaner?
