    Lisa I am really old and have always done my own housekeeping. There are so many products out there and so many types of households. I think it depends on what kind of household you have, how many people, the ages of the people, your degree of "cleanliness" I have found out that things don't really need to be so "well" done." I use: windex, Murphy's oil soap, a wood cleaner for hardwood floors, Just got some Jubilee which is an old product for furniture and wooden things. I am not into making my own products. . . it is enough to make my own dinners. For my white "leather" furniture I use a white cloth wrung out in hot water. I also use this for cloth upholstered things like my guest room head/footboards. For floors I clean thoroughly (love, love, love, my new roomba) I wash with water with just a dite of murphys toss white toweling rags in pail and throw them on floor and push around with a long handled implement. Picking up and tossing out are the best things to do.

  • The "best" cleaning recipe is the one that works for you. I have a small house with many pets and lots of visiting animals. Since I have a bird, many commercial and even home remedies can be problematic, as birds are highly sensitive to odors and fumes from any source. Hence, I am a vinegar girl. There are hundreds if not thousands of recipes and hacks out there. Try a few and see what works best for you and your family. What are you trying to clean at the moment?

    Hi. Best cleaning product: vinegar. Next is coconut oil for wood furniture and then baking soda for hard water build up. There's no need for anything else.
