The two power horses of green cleaning are white distilled vinegar (acid) and baking soda (base/alkaline). If you have just these two ingredients in your repertoire you can clean about anything. With that said sometimes you need a cleaner that is specific to the task. Here is a list of the green alkaline or base cleaners and what they clean well.
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)-stain remover for acid stains, mild abrasive, shines up aluminum, chrome, silver and other metals, grease and dirt cutter, deodorizer
Washing Soda (sodium carbonate)-laundry, a little stronger than baking soda so good for jobs baking soda needs a little help completing, can usually be found in your laundry aisle of most stores
Borax (sodium borate)-disinfection (also can be found in laundry aisle)
Cornstarch-mild and absorbent cleaner
Cornmeal-mild and absorbent cleaner
Cream of tartar-makes great paste for scrubbing cookware
Salt (sodium chloride)-natural scrubbing agent
Happy cleaning!!!
