Environmental Friendly Cleaning

Does anyone know if we have something like these local in Vancouver, that are good for both the environment and baby's health ne?

7th Generation is available in Capers. But I just saw them in Cambie Save On as well. There are a few more brands @ Save On, but I use 7th Generation.

I have a cheaper solution:
1:1 vinegar and water makes a great all purpose cleanser. (put it in a spray bottle).If you add a small amount of plain liquid soap to this, you'll get rid of anything greasy.
Pouring straight vinegar into the toilet cleans it better than any chemical cleanser.
The great thing about vinegar is; it may have a strong smell when wet -- but disappears once it is dry.
The other benefit: vinegar is cheap, and, when sprayed into a smelly garbage can, the odour disappears! Give it a try.

Another line my sis-in-law uses is called "norwex". It's expensive, but I think it's available on line.

Wow...thanks Emi...great tips!!!

What about liquid bleach? Is it safe for baby? Can we soak baby's plastic toys in 1:99 bleach or should we use vinegar mix instead?

And what about cleaning bottles? Did you just use regular dish washing soap?

Also baby's clothes? Use regular adult's clothing detergent? I know we should wash baby's clothes in a separate load, right?
