What's the "best" green home cleaning products?

I've finally decided to go the route of using green home cleaning products. We grabbed some of the new Clorox brand all purpose cleaner to try it out. But to be honest, the only reason we selected that brand was that it happened to be sitting at the end of the aisle at Lowes.

Anywho, we want to make sure we are using the best products out there moving forward (cleaning ability, greeness child friendly), any recommendations?  We live in surburbia, so we don't really have access to any specialty shops, so anything that Lowes, Home Depot, Target etc carries the better.

We have yet to give the Clorox stuff a try, but will post any opinions on it once we have.

So far all I have used for home cleaning is Method (specifically their dish soap, wood cleaner, all-purpose spray, and glass cleaner).  However, I have seen positive and negative things on them.  Nevertheless, I believe they are a lot better than a lot of other products.  They can be found at Target.

Also, you can order products on places like Amazon.com.  I tend to order in bulk since it will save in the long run.  I understand it is best to buy local, but some of the products I use just can't be found locally since I live in a small southern town. 

I really like 7th Generation products- some of them are available at Target.

You should check out the product reviews in the Clean Green section.

For all purpose household cleaners, personally I like Biokleen and Seventh Generation.

I make my own. The best is homemade soft scrub and laundry powder. it takes a little more but its fun, saves money and packaging.  i get so excited over this stuff.

Vinegar, Essential Oils, Baking Soda, Citrus Acid, Washing Soda, Castile Soap (which i make from sratch from oils, milks and lye- but you can buy it too, or use whatever bar soap you like), Lemon Juice, Oils and Hydrogen Peroxide.

These are what are used to clean with in my house. Some jobs just require one ingredient, some a mix of a few of them. But it's cheap and easy to do (most people say they don't have time to make their own cleaners, invariably I find these people have never tried, it's amazingly simple and quick to make all the recipes I use, and the work just as well as store bought or better- and oh so much cheaper!)
