T O P I C R E V I E WStawrDo you buy or make any?Please share, I am getting very into it and would like to know whats out there.I ran out of chemically dusting spray while cleaning wood furniture, so I searched this high up cupboard and found this stuff called oil soap. It says its a natural cleaner. So I added some in a bucket of water and got cleaning/conditioning. Leaves a nice smell too. EllynlvxOh, I like lemon oil for mine.I just get the girls to pick me a lemon and juice it and add it to one of my Infused Oils, Lavendar works well...Works Wonderfully Well on my Brenton Loom.Stawrvery coolwhat is a Brenton Loom?I am deep cleaning my room for new furniture, my wood floor was so dirty I saw dust bunnies. And since the oil soap is more of a conditioner, I thought "I can't polish a turd." So I looked to see if I could clean wood floors with vinegar. One site said that half a cup in a gallon of water would be fine, I also added some drops of lavender to balance out vinegar smell.I'd like to add lemon oil to my oil collection one day. I hear it's very mood boosting. GeekyOver time, I've found that the most versatile cleaner (but not as economical as making homemade mixes) is Dr. Bronner's liquid soaps.I use it for laundry, for shampoo, for body soap and to put on a hot washcloth to clean countertops, stovetop, etc.I don't do much with scents because too much fragrance (natural or not) is overwhelming to me. Look here and read the comments - good info there: http://lisa.drbronner.com/?p=1127 ------------------“Most people would rather be sheep than stand on their own with antlers on.”StawrI've heard lots of good things about Dr. Bronners soap.Wow so many uses! I wonder if people can clean wood floors with it. VioletsI mostly use baking soda to clean things around the house, or just water, witch hazel (smells slightly less horrid than vinegar, heh), or vinegar. For wood floors...I don't often buy Dr. Bronner's anymore, as it tends to be a bit costly. But if I were going to clean our floors with something other than water, I would prefer Dr. Bronner's, and then follow up by polishing with a Cedar/Lemon EO combo. It smells so nice, and the Cedar EO can be good for the floors. I once fixed a scratch in ours with it. I generally use baking soda and hydrogen peroxide (not exactly the most natural thing, but it works well) to clean the bathtub and whatnot.But yeah...Dr. Bronner's is the best for natural soaps, unless you want to make your own (I'm so ready to start making my own soap, ha).

Works Wonderfully Well on my Brenton Loom.
