How to Make a Non-Toxic Cleaning Kit
Most modern synthetic cleaning products are based on age-old formulas using natural ingredients that were passed down through the generations because the chemistry was right. Going back to the original naturally derived ingredients is a way to make cleaning products that work, don’t pollute and save you money. Most are found in your kitchen cupboards. Mix and match with well-chosen and environmentally friendly green cleaning products found in health food stores, and you can easily and simply transform your home into a non-toxic and healthy haven.
Non-toxic cleaning can give you a deep feeling of gratification in knowing that your family’s health is protected, and that your home is a place for your bodies to rest and recuperate rather than promote harm.
Making your own nontoxic cleaning kit will take you no time at all with these simple, straightforward directions, and with this kit you will be supplied with enough cleaning product for months of cleaning.
As an added bonus, ounce for ounce homemade cleaning formulas cost about one-tenth the price of their commercial counterpart—and that includes costly, but worthwhile essential oils, and concentrated, all-purpose detergents for homemade recipes.

Due to many chemical allergies, white vinegar and baking soda have been main ingredients in my household cleaning kits for years. I didn't realize that tea tree oil can be used for killing mold - will have to try that.
One thing I have not had luck finding around here is washing soda. Even Bon Ami doesn't seem to be sold in very many stores around the Minneapolis/St Paul metro area.
Question: since Bon Ami seems to be pure washing soda powder, can I use that in cleaning recipies?

Sounds good, but could use some guidance on what to buy for "a good liquid soap or detergent". How to know which one is "good"? And wouldn't detergents vary in ingredients? Please advise as this is the only item I'm unclear about. Thanks!
