I had a look around after reading Mary Jane's post on cleaning products and thought that I would post some links to some of the products I use. The first is 'Eco Balls", a way of washing your clothes without using any detergent. How could that be, you may ask! I asked the same question four years ago but decided to try them and we have been using them ever since!

Next, I discovered microfibre cloths from the same supplier during this summer just gone by. I thought that if the ecoballs work why not try the cloths. Again, you don't need to use detergent with them. And yes, we are still using them 6 months later:

About white vinegar
I am confident someone else will soon show up here. In the meantime, I will try to keep my resolution to post here three times per week...so far, so good.
Okay, this is another, and likely final, post about household cleaning products.
What do you do with white vinegar?
- Mike thinks it gets sweat stains out of workout shirts so soaks his gear in it from time to time
- I think it gets rid of bad smells. Put out a dish and your home smells like white vinegar, not paint of cooking odoure or smoke.
- I know it removes calcium build up in kettles and from around taps
- What else...???
I know some people use it to wash windows. I don't. To wash windows, I use a spray bottle of water, just tap water and a aqueegie and nothing else. I think anything else in the spray bottle contributes to streaking may be wrong on that.
I think I've reached the bottom of my well of knowledge about household cleaning products.

About cleaning products
How many different cleaning products do we need?
Here's what I think we have on hand right now:
All purpose spray cleaner
Liquid dish detergent
Powdered dishwasher soap
Scouring powder in a can
White sponge..I think it's called an eraser
Spray carpet spot cleaner
Liquid laundry soap
Spray spot remover for laundry
With exception of "eraser", scouring powder, carpet cleaner and laundy spot remover, I think all are "green" or "greenish".
Suggestions for improving my list are welcomed? What do you have?
