Citrus based cleaners frugal and green?

Mar 10, 2008 5 Replies

I'm looking for a general purpose household cleaner that is frugal and earth friendly and safe to humans as well.



Specifically want to use it for spraying on the inside of a shower stall to remove grime say once a week or so.



Would citrus based cleaners be good match for this use?


Simple Green is a very good general cleaner.

For the shower, I use a daily after-shower spray. Once a week, I use a foaming bath-tile spray ($1 per can), allow this to work for 2-3 hours, use a scrub brush in household ammonia, then rinse with cold water. Household ammonia is very earth-friendly, but you will need strong ventilation if you can't hold your breath for a minute. ;)

Ok but why not use Simple Green for EVERYTHING? Less clutter..... simplify life..etc?

Just so happens that after I posted this message an ad on TV came on from Clorox company..... they have a line of"earth friendly" cleaners. See link

What you think? Try em?

A great multi-purpose cleaner that is earth friendly would be procyon multi-purpose cleaner and degreaser because it is green seal certified. It will be great for the grim on a shower stall because it is also a degreaser.
