If you want to save some money on your cleaning supplies beside just bleach and water. Try out these products:
Baby Wipes:

1 roll bounty or viva towel, cut in half (hubby can do this in garage)

2 T. Baby oil

1 T. Baby soap

2 (or so) C. water

Mix water, soap and oil together, pour over 1/2 a towel, take out cardboard center, pull wipes from center.

I find these so easy to make, so cheap and so much easier on a babies butt too! Everyone that uses them loves them!

I have more recipes if anybody wants them and also have lists of ways you can use vinegar (107) and peroxide (13).

I saw the PP about disinfecting wipes. This is the one that I use and LOVE....works better than the store brand:

1/2 roll of bounty or Viva towel

1 1/2 c. water

1/2 c. Lysol disinfecting 4-in-1 concentrate

Mix together, pour over towel and pull up from the middle.
Or
Disinfecting Wipes
An empty wipes holder (the tube kind with the flip top), washed out well with soapy water
A roll of Bounty paper towels
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup white vinegar
Tea tree essential oil
Lemon essential oil
Cut paper towel roll in 1/2 (width-wise) with a sharp, non-serrated knife. Carefully remove the cardboard from the middle using your fingers to break it away from the paper towels. Remove the outer 1/2 of the roll by using your fingers to break apart one of the paper towels at a perforation and carefully sliding the two parts apart. Now you have two rolls. Save the outer one and you can use it as napkins or on your paper towel holder.

Pour water and vinegar in the holder and add 10 drops of tea tree oil and 6 drops of lemon oil. Mix well.

Put the inner portion of paper towels in the holder. You may have to work it in. Make sure you can get ahold of the inner-most paper towel, the one you broke the cardboard away from. This will be the piece that you can thread through the top.

Let the paper towel soak up the mixture and then carefully feed the inner sheet through the top. They will continually feed through this way and will break off at the perforations.

Essential oils can seem expensive, but you are only using them several drops at a time, and the little bottle lasts forever. You are still saving money, and not using harsh chemicals in your home or adding to a landfill.

Every little bit we can do to save money and the environment means something!

wow have you tried all of these?

wow thats a lot of home made stuff ...

No I haven't tried them yet but moms from the babycenter have. I just made the disfecting wipes were you put the lysol 4 in 1. It is way better than the generic brand and manufactor made. I just reuse the tube when I ran out. I used Viva towels it is little snug but I was able to push it in there. I love this disfecting wipes. I clean everything with them.

I use something similar to the dis. wipes .. I use Mr. Clean (blue kind) and it smells good too ..but I bet your kind is safer .......but I have issues I smell poo all day if I dont have a refreshing sent!

Lysol 2 in1 has a lemon smell and if you used the other recipe tea tree oil has a pretty smell. So you can tell it is clean by the smell of the cleaner.
