Baking Soda & Cleaning

[HippieGirl]

I've switched almost all my cleaning products to vinegar and water to be more eco-friendly, but I still use harsher chemicals for tubs and the inside of toilets. How do I use baking soda (or another green option) instead for scrubbing?

I've also been trying to make cleaning green, so I'm turning my back on some commercial cleaners because there are safer and cheaper household products which can do to the trick. Baking soda is very versatile...For toilet bowls, I usually pour a generous amount in the bowl, let it stand and do work for several minutes then scrub.

I hate the smell of vinegar so I can't use those home made remedies. I know some people will add scents to it so that the vinegar smell isn't so strong, but that particular smell really stands out to me no matter how you try to mask it, so I use the newer cleaning products they have (Method and Seventh Generation) to clean my house. It is more expensive, but it is worth it to me. They are more natural products that aren't as strong smelling and they still kill all the germs. I don't like the smell of bleach either and these products don't smell like that.
