Water

it is the most earth-friendly cleanser and a fairly effective one.

Trisodium Phosphate

It is an excellent cleaner for jobs that soap and water can’t touch but is much less often used today because it harms the environment by promoting the growth of algae in water. A half tablespoon to a gallon of water will remove most dirt but when used in heavier concentration, it can cause harm to the surface since it is strong enough to remove paints.

Washing Soda

Also called sodium carbonate, it is a heavy-duty cleaner but somewhat toxic. It cuts grease, removes stains, disinfects, soften water, and may even open drains. Use about 1/8 cup to a gallon of water.

Borax

It is an earth-friendly alkali, but it can be toxic. It is an excellent freshener which is added to the laundry, deodorizer, and cleanser.

Bottled Ammonia

90% water and 10% ammonia is a good grease-cutter, wax stripper, and window cleaner.

Lye

It is a very strong alkali cleanser sometimes used to clean pipes. It is extremely powerful and very dangerous and should be handled with extreme care.

Lemon Juice and white vinegar

They are both environment-friendly, mild acids and effective cleansers. Vinegar is used more often because it is cheaper. They are used to wash windows, to cut grease, and to freshen the air.

Muriatic Acids

It is sometimes used as a cleanser for badly stained bathrooms or for brick fireplaces.

Baking Soda

Non-polluting, inexpensive baking soda is a generic, gentle abrasive which can be used in cleaning pots, counters, and porcelain fixtures.

Liquid scouring cleaners

These are rougher than baking soda and are not recommended for cleaning plastic countertops or wood, but can be used almost everywhere else, especially in the kitchen and in the bathroom.

Scouring Powder

This contains a natural abrasive plus soap or an alkaline salt. This is for very resistant stains because it is very strong.

Rubber Compounds

In order of coarseness, pumice is the strongest. These are used to rub away a spot on furniture. Pumice may also be used to remove bad stains form inside the toilet bowl.

Metal Polish

This is primarily composed of abrasives combined with cleaners and/or acids. Steel wool pads with soap are cheaper and more convenient for the kitchen. To keep it from rusting too quickly, store the pad in a plastic bag in the freezer or keep it in a clay pot.

Detergent

A powder or liquid that is used to clean clothes, dishes, and many others.

Superconcentrate

Used only in small amounts, but it costs more,

Powder

Fine for general wash; good for ground-in dirt and clay.

Light-Duty Liquid Detergent

For hand or machine washables, delicates, baby clothes, and lightly soiled clothing.

Dish Washing Liquid

For dishes and also for hand washables; not for machine use.

Lysol

It is a heavy-duty germicidal cleanser used in the bathroom and in the kitchen or any fixture that many people touch. Sanitizers containing phenol are toxic for humans and potentially fatal for cats.

Bleach

It is used to remove molds and mildew. Chlorine bleach makes white whiter but is not to be used for colored clothes. Chlorine is not a cleaning product.
