Bring on the baking soda!
Multitasking showering
I keep a bottle of Eco Mist Tub & Tile cleaner within reach when taking a shower. Some mornings, I just need to stay in the shower a little longer to wake up or warm up so I can kill two birds with one stone by cleaning while I'm in there.
Because the product is environmentally safe, I don't have to worry about the chemicals coming into contact with my skin or inhaling the fumes. When it's time to clean the bathroom more thoroughly, it's a cinch because the shower and tub are already sparkling!

A homemade bathroom cleaner
We have very hard water with calcium build-up. I started thinking of any household products that would cut through that and here's what I came up with. It works just as well as the expensive stuff you buy.In a spray bottle:
- fill 3/4 full of distilled water
- fill the rest with vinegar
- add about 1 tsp. of fabric softener (depends on the size of the bottle -- you don't need much at all)
Give the bottle a good shake to mix everything together, and there you go. Use after every use of the tub and/or shower.

Bring on the baking soda!
I've been using baking soda instead of scouring powder for years. I use it to clean stains off my counter tops, grime off my bathtub (so I don't have to worry about residue not rinsing away and then my girls soaking in it at bath time) and it makes my stainless steel kitchen sink shine as well.

Non-toxic oven cleaner
For a natural oven cleaner, use baking soda and water. Make it into a paste. Apply on the inside walls of the oven. Leave overnight and then wipe clean.
