I started avoiding chemical cleaners when Mike's asthma was sensitive to anything in the air. My defaults were vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice and elbow grease with a pumice stone.

I was washing baseboards one day while he was napping and stopped to answer the door. In the short time I was gone, he had woken up and started to play in the water. Was soaked head to toe and using his stacking cups to get a drink. I've never been as grateful then that I was using vinegar and water to clean with.

Since then I've mostly stuck with the same combination, grateful for a lesson learned without injury.
