For those interested in avoiding harsh house cleaning chemicals,  try making your own.  It is fast, easy and costs next to nothing.  To clean your bathroom sink and tub, you can make a soft scrub cleanser by mixing together baking soda with just enough natural liquid soap or dish soap to resemble the consistency of bakery cake frosting.  You use this mixture as you would any cleansing scrub.  If you have one of those sponges with a scratchy side, you can apply this mixture to your wet surface with its scratchy side and scrub in small circular motions, then use the sponge side to thoroughly rinse it off.  After you are done, run your hand around to make sure it has all been rinsed off.  Of course, it can do no harm, but it can be annoying to step into a tub of water and feel dried soda instead of the unusual slick surface of the tub.

An easy way to clean the toilet is to pour a cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl, scrub, leave it an hour and then flush.
For an effective glass and surface cleaner, mix 1 cup of white distilled vinegar with 1 cup of water, pour into a plastic spray bottle, spray the surface and wipe off with a lint free cloth.
