When it comes to buy green cleaning products, the U.S. Environment Protection Agency has published some guidelines in the Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) page.

This is the Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Hands-On Tools EPP Database, which includes both industrial and household products and services. In this case, cleaning supplies and equipment, including those that one can find at grocery and miscellaneous stores.

The environmental information, standards and guidelines for these products can be found here.

When it comes to all natural home cleaners, three things comes into my head: baking soda, vinegar and lemons. :) Plus we have this decorative charcoal wall mosaic in our bathrooms to serve as air filters.

White vinegar/ water with a bit of lemon juice for almost everything! And cut up old t shirts/ towels that get washed and reused again and again. The smell can be a bit overwhelming at first, but it dissipates rather quickly.

Avoid the products listed here-too many toxins.

I think it's important to remember that just because it says green doesn't mean it is green.  And some things are ok for peopel and still harmful for the environment and vice versa.

True-poison sumac, oak and ivy come to mind. Green but not so good.
