Many of today’s cleaning supplies commonly used in your Hoboken home may contain generous applications of chlorine, ammonia, lye and phosphates. In some brands you can even find acetone, formaldehyde and phosphoric acid. Household-cleaner manufacturers do not always list the toxic chemicals that are contained in their products, but some states are now starting to require them to do so.
When you mix together acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate, otherwise known as vinegar and baking soda it will kill bacteria and take care of most household grime without any trouble. All you need to do is add water and use baking soda as a paste; vinegar also works well as a straight solution. And by the way, it is also fine to use diluted bleach occasionally where disinfection is needed.
