I use a lot of bleach and vinegar. Given the number of nasty little dogs that live with me. I figure bleach is my friend. So far I haven't had any problems using bleach on laminate flooring, but the next time we replace the floors in the house we are going to go with colored concrete. I have also been using borax in the washing machine. It works very well in a he machine. I am rather fond of isopropyl alcohol too. I continue to use other cleaners, but much less than I would have been using otherwise. I would like to continue to reduce my use of commercial cleaners. I have to admit that I get a kick out of using aerosol cans to apply cleaners. The cans give you a lovely foaming thing, that I don't seem to get with spray bottles. I forgot my 2 favorite commercial cleaners Super Clean (I get it at the auto parts), and Nature's Miracle (I get it at the feed store)
